Judge Bob Perkins dropped the indictment against Diversified Collection Services, a debt collector in San Leandro, Calif., and one of eight corporations and three associates of U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay charged in September with violating Texas' campaign finance laws.
Diversified was accused of making a $50,000 contribution. According to the motion to dismiss the indictment, the company "will engage in a program of community service and civic involvement" in Texas and "cooperate ... in the prosecution of any other indicted person" in the case.
