Last published by the Office of the Texas Attorney General two decades ago, we have updated and expanded Public Officer Traps, a guide to public officers on how to stay out of trouble. Topics include: Conflict of Interest, Gifts Honoraria and Bribery, Nepotism, Dual Office Holding, Automatic Resignation (Resign to Run) and other Constitutional Limitations on Sequential Office Holding, Removal Recall and Vacancies, Residency, and The Whistleblower Act. With 900 footnotes to statutes, court cases, and Attorney General Opinions, this is the authoritative guide to avoiding actions that could forfeit your office, or worse, land you in jail.
