In a lawsuit originally filed by the Texas Democratic Party charging that the Houston-based Tea Party Group, The King Street Patriots made illegal political contributions in the 2010 elections a Travis County court has ruled that Texas laws against corporate expenditures apply to the so-called non-profit group. TPJ filed an Ethics Complaint against the group last October claiming they were using corporate money for electoral activities. That complaint is still pending.
