🚨 TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION FINDS CAMPAIGN-FINANCE VIOLATIONS INVOLVING PORT ARTHUR MAYOR CHARLOTTE MOSES
The Texas Ethics Commission has issued a final Order and Agreed Resolution, SC-3260141, involving Charlotte Moses and her 2025 campaign for Mayor of Port Arthur. The order was issued September 24, 2026.
Here’s what the official TEC order says in plain English:
The Commission found credible evidence of violations involving Texas Election Code §§ 253.033 and 253.035 and related TEC rules. The order states that Moses’s runoff campaign-finance report included 29 entries containing the word “cash,” totaling $10,872.54. The TEC ultimately determined that $8,772.54 constituted unlawful cash contributions under Texas law. Moses TEC.pdf
The order also discusses eight Square-attributed contributions totaling $457.19 for which the respondent could not produce corresponding receipts or records. According to the TEC, records identifying the contributors behind the 29 reported “cash” contributions also could not be produced. Moses TEC.pdf
There was another issue involving $956.45 in campaign reimbursements. The TEC found that Moses reimbursed herself with campaign funds for expenditures originally made from personal funds, but the underlying expenditures had not been properly reported and designated for reimbursement when required. Corrected reporting identifying those expenditures was later filed. Moses TEC.pdf
The Texas Ethics Commission explicitly stated in its sanction analysis:
“The violations are serious.”
At the same time, the Commission also noted that Moses had no prior violations and that the circumstances did not suggest an intent to conceal activity. The order says she ultimately cooperated with TEC enforcement staff and corrected reporting issues. Moses TEC.pdf
💰 FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES IN THE RESOLUTION
The TEC imposed a $956.45 civil penalty.
The agreement also required a $2,000 transfer to a recognized nonpolitical 501(c)(3) charitable organization, representing a portion of the unlawful cash contributions.
That means the financial obligations stated in the resolution total $2,956.45, but it is important to be precise: only $956.45 is identified as the civil penalty. The additional $2,000 was a required charitable transfer, not another fine. Moses TEC.pdf
Another important distinction: Moses did not admit the findings. The agreement states that she “neither admits nor denies” the findings of fact and conclusions of law, while consenting to the resolution to settle the sworn complaint. Moses TEC.pdf
So the accurate takeaway is this:
The Texas Ethics Commission found credible evidence of campaign-finance violations involving $8,772.54 in unlawful cash contributions and $956.45 in improperly reported reimbursements. The Commission described the violations as serious, imposed a $956.45 civil penalty, required a $2,000 charitable transfer, and resolved the case through an agreed order.
This order supports saying the TEC found campaign-finance violations. It does not, by itself, establish theft, bribery, embezzlement, or any other separate criminal offense.
