(January 28, 2008)--More than 41 million dollars flowed through the Texas political system in 2007, according to fundraising reports.

A Houston Chronicle analysis of reports filed with the Texas Ethics Commission found that Houston homebuilder Bob Perry topped the list of individual donors in Texas.

He gave more than $1 million to Texas candidates and political action committees last year, mostly on the Republican side.

Dallas lawyer Fred Baron was second on the list of the state's individual donors in 2007.

He donated more than $969,000, with most going to the Texas Democratic Trust.

Among politicians, Attorney General Greg Abbott's campaign fund had the highest balance at year's end.

Texans for Greg Abbott reported more than $7.2 million on hand.

Abbott's term lasts until 2010.
