Where the money comes from
$242,359$242,359 in total receipts, through Jun 30, 2026 — Search the Texas Ethics Commission for Harold Dutton Jr.'s filings raised, through Jun 30, 2026
The filing reports a total but doesn’t break it down by source, so there is nothing to chart here.
Official filing:
- This figure is the candidate's own campaign account. Any committee the Texas Ethics Commission records as supporting them is listed separately and is NOT added in — money moved between the two is reported by both, so a combined total would count it twice.
- These lines don't add up to total receipts — receipts also include transfers, loans and refunds, which aren't donations.
- Filing is periodic (semiannual, 30-day, or 8-day pre-election reports). The figure above sums every report filed for the current 2025-2026 election cycle, through the most recent period shown — it can be several months stale depending on where a candidate is in the filing cycle, and excludes activity from any earlier cycle.
- The Texas Ethics Commission and the Federal Election Commission define "total receipts" differently — Texas Ethics Commission figures should never be compared directly against a federal candidate's FEC figures.
Official records
We searched the registries below and found no record for Harold Dutton Jr..
Checked 28 July 2026: Texas Legislature (impeachment records) · Texas Ethics Commission (final orders) · State Bar of Texas (attorney discipline) · Texas State Securities Board (enforcement orders). The same registries are searched for every candidate in a race, and each entry describes only what the record itself states — including how it ended. We publish no allegations and no news coverage.
- The Texas Ethics Commission is required by law to keep dismissed complaints, and findings it treats as technical or minor, confidential — so no result there means no publicly-issued final order, not that no complaint was ever filed.
- A State Bar profile shows public disciplinary history the Bar publishes online; older judgments are held by its disciplinary counsel and aren't in that profile.
