Gov. flag Dan Patrick called the lawsuit “frivolous,” stressing the fund’s importance for the estimated 500,000 Texans affected by dementia. flag The Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas aims to attract researchers and support studies on Alzheimer’s and related disorders using state surplus funds.
