Romney's Texas fundraisers bringing in $15 million

[June 06, 2012]  SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) -- Mitt Romney's two-day swing to Texas is giving his presidential campaign a $15 million boost.

Romney supporter Ray Washburne told the crowd at a Dallas fundraiser Tuesday that the presumptive GOP nominee would raise that much at a slew of meetings. Some $3.5 million was expected be raised from almost 500 people at the Belo Mansion in downtown Dallas.

Tickets start at $2,500 for a reception, $10,000 for a photograph with the governor, and $50,000 for dinner.

Romney has fundraisers scheduled Wednesday in San Antonio and Houston.
