Money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The prosecutors recently failed to get the other charges (violating election laws) reinstated. No trial date as far as I have been able to discover.

In Sep 2005 Delay was indicted for violating Texas election law for funneling money through a Political action committee illegally to candidates.
In October he was indicted for money laundering and conspiracy.
...a lot of change of venue and motions to dismiss are followed by
In Dec 2006 the election fraud charge was dismissed and the conspiracy and money laundering charges were upheld.
Appeals and motions are continuing...

I don't know why they keep going after him. The democrats "won" that seat back. By "won" I really mean they did everything in their power to make sure a republican wouldn't be put on the ballot. You can email me if you want to know how they screwed a conservative district out of a true representative of the people.

he was accused of misusing campaign contributions and money laundering. I believe he was recently cleared of the charges by a district court, but appeals are pending. I heard just a short report and nothing since.

He has numerous charges Most are related to Graft.
I think there is a Frontline episode that shows the Abraoff Delay connection. They were bilking Indain tribes out of millions claiming they could get them a casino.

Money laundering. He was attempting to make it impossible for Democrats to ever get elected again, especially in Texas (where, you will recall, he orchestrated mid-term gerrymandering). Ironically, his former House seat in the Houston area is now a Democratic one.
