As the Senate race in Texas heats up between incumbent Republican Senator
Ted Cruz and his opponent Beto O’Rourke, Republicans appear to be playing
some dirty tricks. Whether it was the O’Rourke signs which have been
stolen from a home in Houston, or imposters posing as Beto O’Rourke’s
campaign team, sending texts to supporters asking them to take undocumented
immigrants to the polls on election day, Republicans in the Lone Star State
apparently aren’t holding back.
Now, Ted Cruz’s own campaign appears to be taking part in what could
arguably be considered deceptive fundraising tactics. According to one
Austin, Texas resident named Sean Owen, and confirmed by one of Cruz’s own
high-ranking campaign official, Cruz is sending out a rather deceptive
fundraising letter to his supporters.

The letter, as you can see below, appears to be a legal summons from the “
Official Travis County Summons” office, with an urgent message to “open
immediately”.

Received this for my 88-year-old grandma. Says it's a summons from Travis
County, but is actually asking for money for @tedcruz . Did your campaign
authorize this? Is this even legal? Shame on you. That's one more @
BetoORourke voter.

This isn’t the first time that Cruz’s campaign has taken part in this
exact fundraising tactic, and it’s not just happening in Travis County.
Apparently it is happening all throughout Texas, including in Williamson
County as well.

It should come as no surprise that @TedCruz is continuing his shady
campaign of disinformation.
Ted Cruz is pretending to be Williamson County and claims that inside the
envelope is an official summons. It is Ted Cruz begging for money. It is
beyond pathetic and deceptive.

Also in May of this year, MySA reported that someone had received an
envelope identical to these, with the exception being that the return
address was from the “Official Kerr County Summons”, in Kerr County. Last
month the same letter was sent to someone in Collin County as well.
According to Cruz’s campaign, hundreds of thousands of these letters have
been sent out to Texans, asking for donations. The letter inside this
misleading envelope isn’t as deceptive as the outer packaging, however.

Replying to @sean_r_owen
Some have asked what's inside. It's a quite normal campaign fundraising
letter, and this form. Still a "Summons" and asking for a "affirmation"
signature, but no mention anymore of Travis County (hmm) and more clearly
about campaign donation.

No matter what the letter says, there is no arguing that Ted Cruz’s
campaign does seem to be misleading Texans to some degree. This just goes
to show how close the race for this Texas Senate seat has become.
