For the most part, yes. I think that the Texas limitations on punitive damages have been quite successful (I have a congenital aversion to the notion of punitive damages), but the Texas medical malpractice reforms have yet to solve the problem they were intended to remedy -- high malpractice insurance rates. The reforms were well intended (and in fact may work eventually), but the insurance industry is notoriously difficult to reign in.
