Public Information Requirement Sign
 
Texas nepotism law, found in Government Code Chapter 573, prohibits public officials from hiring or voting to appoint close relatives to paid positions. A public official generally cannot appoint, confirm, or vote for a paid appointment if the individual is their relative by blood (consanguinity) within the third degree or by marriage (affinity) within the second degree. Exceptions exist for certain positions like substitute teachers, bus drivers, and for individuals continuously employed before the official's election or appointment.
