Professional Ethics - Dallas Mayor

Post by jjjetplane » Wed Sep 18, 2019 5:16 pm

I notice that the mayor of Dallas is simultaneously a partner in the public finance practice of Locke Lord.

Can someone explain to me how this is ethically kosher? Not sure of the specific nuances of Texas’s legal ethics rules, but this seems to run afoul of a number of model conflicts-related rules (plus the usual rules around holding a separate job while employed by a law firm).
