(In the January 18, 1994, Texas Register (19 TexReg 313), a mistake was made. 
There was duplication of AOR-213 and AOR-214, and AOR-215 and AOR-216 were never 
published in the Register.)
AOR-215. A member of the state legislature has asked whether he may accept a 
loan of computer equipment from a private company. The legislator would use the 
equipment to provide computer training to constituents.
AOR-216. The Ethics Commission has been asked to consider whether a state 
employee may engage in a certain type of outside employment. The state employee 
has been asked to help develop training programs for a private consultant. The 
general content of the training programs would be similar to the content of the 
state employee's government job. Assuming that there is no use of state time or 
equipment, the state employee asks whether he may undertake such outside 
employment.
Questions on particular submissions should be addressed to the Texas Ethics 
Commission, P.O. Box 12070, Austin, Texas 78711-2070, (512) 463-5800.
