Texas Political Ethics And Law & Practice Vol 4

All under 2,500. Here's Vol IV. Description (2,485 / 2,500) Texas Political Ethics Law & Practice — Volume IV: Political Advertising & Disclosure Enforcement is the fourth and final installment of a four-volume treatise on the Texas ethics regulatory framework. It is the only single-volume treatment of the Texas political-advertising regime integrating the Texas Ethics Commission advisory-opinion record, the modern statutory regime after the 2019 transfer of the sign-notice provision to § 259.001, and the post-Doe and post-Stafford First Amendment overlay. Volume IV is organized in two substantive chapters. Chapter 1 addresses the political-advertising regime: the source-disclosure and "paid for by" attribution requirement of § 255.001; the internal-mail-system prohibition of § 255.0031; the public-resource restrictions of § 255.003; the misrepresentation provisions concentrated in §§ 255.004-.006 (true-source attribution, misrepresentation of identity, and non-incumbent "for-the-office" representations); the highway-sign-notice requirement now codified at § 259.001 (formerly § 255.007); periodical and broadcasting requirements; the application of the disclosure regime to candidate websites, social media, and other internet communications; and the case-law overlay including State v. Doe, Ex parte Stafford, and Deuell v. Texas Right to Life Committee. Chapter 2 collects 177 sworn-complaint orders constituting the Commission's disclosure-requirement enforcement docket — the principal record for failures of the § 255.001 disclaimer and related attribution and misrepresentation obligations across mailers, signs, digital communications, and broadcast media. Five appendices follow: a per-volume index of advisory opinions; an index of sworn-complaint orders; a methodology disclosure regarding the AI-assisted compilation; a subsequent-history table; and the Master Cumulative Index of Ethics Advisory Opinions (Volumes I–IV) — a 536-opinion cross-reference covering the full series, located only in Volume IV. Designed for practitioners advising candidates, officeholders, political committees, advocacy and 501(c)(4) organizations, advertising vendors, broadcasters and publishers, and counsel handling political-advertising sworn complaints; and for the candidates and committees themselves. The four-volume work compiles 2,049 advisory opinions and sworn-complaint orders. Companion volumes address public-servant conduct and lobbying (I); campaign finance (II); judicial
