Donations can be made to political candidates in various amounts but must be reported to the Texas Ethics Commission. The legislature has also given the commission various other responsibilities, including the filing of financial disclosure statements for government officials and the filing of campaign finance regulatory statements by candidates and citizens who engage in political speech related to campaigns and elections.
The following table lists the 100 largest donations made to the Friends of the University Political Action Committee during the last six months.
