Yes.
Judge Quanah may order a contribution payable to a law related organization
in lieu of a sanction payable to the county because it does not
constitute a personal solicitation for funds from the public.
(CJC Canon 4(C))
Judge Quanah may also give the lawyer the option to make a contribution
to a civic or charitable organization. The judge should admonish
the lawyer not to make the contribution to any organization which
has a political agenda involving the legal system.
The judge should not specify the civic or charitable organization
to which the contribution will be made. (Opinion
99-10)
