State cannot accept gifts from pensioners
The Texas Attorney General ruled that the state cannot accept money gifts from pensioners repaying pensions paid by the state. The Public Welfare Department cannot accept gifts, unlike some departments, due to a 1941 law. John H. Winter submitted the repayment question after a Houston woman offered 1100 to cover four years of pensions.
