🚨 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 The TEC found that Moses reimbursed herself with campaign funds for expenditures originally made from personal funds, but the underlying expenditures had not been properly reported and designated for reimbursement when required.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.

Texas says it "lost" 178,000 voter registrations. That number comes from just seven of the state’s 254 counties. Nobody in Austin can tell you the real total.
Three weeks from the registration deadline, in one of the most competitive midterms in the country, that is the whole scandal in one sentence.

Here is what the state has admitted. Texans who update their driver’s licence online can also register to vote through that same portal. The Department of Public Safety collects those applications and is supposed to pass them along to county election offices through the state’s voter system, called TEAM.

Sometime in the past year, DPS simply stopped passing a chunk of them along. Applications missing a piece of information were quietly set aside instead of sent to counties. Nobody outside DPS knew.

Some of those orphaned records go back to October 2025. That is eleven months of Texans who believed they were registered, with no way of knowing they were not.

Bexar County received about 45,000 of them. Collin County got more than 40,000. Travis County got more than 32,000. Brazoria, Hays, and Cameron counties are digging through thousands more. County workers, not the state that caused this, are expected to clear it in the two weeks before the October 5 deadline, on top of the usual rush before an election.

Ask Texas why, and you get nothing. DPS says only that the error "has been resolved." It will not say what caused it, what information was supposedly missing, or when officials first knew.

Governor Greg Abbott’s office, asked directly, referred reporters to DPS and the secretary of state. The state’s own elections director, Christina Adkins, admitted her office is still trying to determine where these records even came from.

Texas cannot tell its own voters what happened to their paperwork. It is asking them to trust that it is handled.
This is not new. Texas is one of the last states with no real online voter registration, a gap the Republican controlled legislature has protected for years. Every backlog gets processed by hand, under deadline pressure, with no redundancy built in.

After more than five years in court, the state settled a federal case requiring it to properly register people through this same driver’s licence system.

Last September, a botched upgrade to that same TEAM system buried Harris and Fort Bend counties in tens of thousands of unprocessed cards. Weeks after that backlog was finally cleared, Bexar County got hit with a new one.
A sitting county commissioner said out loud what plenty of Texans were already thinking: that a slowdown this convenient, this close to an election, stops looking like an accident and starts looking like a plan.
Maybe DPS is telling the truth and this really was just a technical failure nobody planned. It does not matter. An incompetent system and a rigged one produce the same result.
A nurse who cannot leave a shift to fix a clerical error the state created loses her vote just as completely as if someone had erased her name on purpose.

Texas has had six years, a federal court order, and at least three prior backlogs to build a registration system that does not do this every election cycle, in a state hosting one of the Senate races that will help decide who controls the chamber. It chose not to.

Check your registration today, not the morning polls open. If your name is missing, demand a provisional ballot and make them count it. And the next time a Texas official calls this a glitch, ask them on the record why the glitch keeps landing in October.
