Legal Research V

This is something that really did surprise me. With the exception of judicial races, and cash donations, and in some cases, timing, there is no limit to political campaign contributions for state, county, or city offices. When researching this, I refused to believe this. I looked for hours to find a statute that didn't exist (and no, this wasn't the first time this summer when this happened). Finally, since time was running our on my deadline, I called the Texas Secretary of State, who led me to the Texas (lack of) Ethics Commission, who connected me to a very nice staff election attorney who confirmed this lack of limits.

Just goes to show, you get the finest government money can buy.
