AG Opinion Request: Local Revenue Edition. County Hospital Employment.

Pecos County Attorney is asking the AG whether it is permissible under nepotism statutes for the wife of the County Judge to be an employee of the County Hospital District. 

At the time, the County Judghe cleared it with the Texas Association of Counties. TAC said- sure, we see no problem. The County Attorney points to members of the County Commissioners Court serving on the County Hospital Board and being able to impact the salary of the County Judge’s wife.
