Two Texas law firms and a New York firm expert in class actions just fired another shot across the bow at real estate brokerages, intent on shaking up the industry in Texas the way a Kansas City law firm is doing in the Midwest.

With two real estate investors as lead plaintiffs, a proposed class action was filed Monday in the U.S. Eastern District of Texas against the Texas Association of Realtors and 30 regional boards of realtors and brokerage firms.
