Ethics Complaint
In 2007 a Democrat activist lodged an ethics complaint against Senator Nelson, alleging that she inappropriately used campaign funds for lease payments to "Twin Star," a company owned by her husband.
Texas Ethics Commission Advisory No. 319 states that officeholders may use campaign funds to lease property in Travis County, even if owned by a spouse, so long as it is separate property and not community property. After a 2-month investigation, the Texas Ethics Commission dismissed the complaint. .
