' Representatives from the
R.L. "Bob" Powell for
Constable Campaign
announced last week that
they have filed a criminal
complaint against Mike
Ballard, the opponent in the
constable Precinct Five race.
The complaint, which
alleges Ballard has been
accepting money for his
campaign from
corporations, was filed with
Denton County Criminal
District Attorney Bruce
Isaacks.
The alleged illegal
contributions, from Tommy
Manion Inc. of Aubrey,
Standard Spring and Axle
Co. of Dallas and the Pilot
Point National Bank, were
logged in the "Contributions
and Expenditures" reports
•violation of this chapter."
Isaacks said the
penalties for this third
degree offense range from
two to ten years in the
Institutional Division of the
Texas Department of
Criminal Justice and could
include a fine of up to
$10,000. He said another
option of penalty could be
one year in a county Jail.
Isaacks said this is one of
the few laws in Texas where
Ignorance of the law is a
defense. "Usually in
criminal law it doesn't
matter If you know (an act is
illegal) or not. This is one of
the few times it does...if
you're going to go out and
commit a third degree
felony, you aren't going to
publicize it," he said.

The contributions could
constitute a third degree
felony for both the
corporations Involved and
Candidate Ballard according
to District Attorney Isaacks.
Isaacks said the rules on
contributions from
corporations is spelled out in
the Texas Election Code.
Section 253.094 of the
code states "a corporation or
labor organization may not
make a
contribution
expenditure that
authorized by
subchapter ..".
253.003, Part D, of the code
states "...a person may not
knowingly accept a political
contribution if the person
