We also greatly appreciate the leadership and flexibility that the Supreme Court of Texas and the BLE have shown to date in undertaking significant and unprecedented measures during this crisis, all towards the goal of ensuring that a bar exam can go forward and that applicants have a safe and successful experience: modifying the supervised practice rules, offering a second Texas Bar Exam in September, increasing flexibility for bar takers to switch their exam without additional expense, implementing various Covid-19 health and safety protocols, and reducing the bar exam from three days to two. In recent days, however, the arc of the coronavirus has changed, and these measures no longer seem sufficient.

Total Texas PAC Spending The bulk of this report identifies and ranks Texas’ top general-purpose political action committees (PACs) in the 2012 election cycle (one chapter also analyzes special-purpose PACs). Rankings are based on the total expenditures that PACs electronically reported to the Texas Ethics Commission. During the two-year election cycle ending in December 2012, 1,364 general-purpose PACs reported expenditures.1 There were more PACs active in 2012 than any other election over the past decade. Yet those PACs spent $126 million, a 5 percent decrease from the 2010 gubernatorial election cycle. PACs typically dig deeper in gubernatorial election years to influence the elections of a bumper crop of statewide officeholders. 2012 PAC spending increased 6 percent over the preceding non-gubernatorial election in 2008. PAC Spending Spikes in Gubernatorial Election Years Election No.
