Revolving Door
State law contains “revolving door” provisions which may prohibit
some TxDOT employees from accepting employment with private entities
with which TxDOT has entered into contracts. Prior to accepting
employment with a private vendor, TxDOT employees have a duty to
verify that they are not barred by a revolving door provision and
other reasons including, but not limited to as a result of their
involvement in the contractor selection process, contract negotiations,
or as having worked on a contract.
