question / answer
| Q: | Am I prohibited from receiving compensation as a consulting or testifying expert in litigation in which the State of Texas (including a state agency or institution of higher education) is being sued? |
| A: | No. Employment as a consulting or testifying expert in any litigation is governed by your institution’s dual or outside employment policy. As long as you meet the criteria set out in the dual employment policy for your institution and comply with federal and state law, you may engage in outside employment as a consulting or testifying expert. |
