AP Texas Court Won't Dismiss DeLay Charges By LIZ AUSTIN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 24 minutes ago AUSTIN, Texas - The state's highest criminal court on Monday denied Rep. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied the requests with no written order two days after he announced he was stepping down as House majority leader. DeLay had been forced to temporarily relinquish the Republican leadership post after he was indicted on money laundering and conspiracy charges in September. DeLay, who denies wrongdoing, had been trying to rush to trial in Texas in hopes of clearing his name and regaining the position. The House is expected to hold leadership elections when lawmakers return to the Capitol the week of Jan. DeLay's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said they will continue to push for a quick trial because DeLay faces opposition in the March Republican primary. "We'd like to get it over with before then, but it's not as crucial as it would have been if he were still in the running for his leadership post," DeGuerin said. A spokesman for Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle had no immediate comment. The trial court judge in December dismissed a conspiracy charge against DeLay but refused to throw out more serious allegations of money laundering. Prosecutors appealed that decision, and the judge decided not to proceed with the case until the appeal is resolved. It is still being considered by the 3rd Court of Appeals. Prosecutors allege DeLay and two co-conspirators funneled $190,000 in corporate contributions through the Texas political committee and an arm of the National Republican Committee to seven GOP state legislative candidates. They accuse DeLay and his two associates of trying to circumvent Texas' law prohibiting spending corporate money on campaigns, except for administrative expenses. After DeLay withdrew permanently from the majority leader job, Rep. Tom DeLay arrives with his wife Christine at a campaign fundraiser in Houston, December 5, 2005. Texas' highest criminal court on Monday denied a request by DeLay to toss out criminal money laundering charges against him or grant him a quick trial.
