(a) The assignee of a state employee or the employee's successor is considered to be a successor for the purposes of this chapter, except that a recovery under this chapter from the compensation or base salary or wages owed to the assignee of a state employee or the employee's successor may not be made if the assignment became effective before the employee incurred the indebtedness.
(b) For purposes of Subsection (a), an indebtedness is incurred on:
(1) the date the compensation is paid, if eligibility to receive the entire amount of the compensation was not conditioned on a state employee fulfilling a promise; or
(2) the day after the deadline for a state employee to fulfill a promise, if eligibility to receive the entire amount of the compensation was conditioned on the employee fulfilling the promise.
(c) This chapter neither authorizes nor prohibits a state employee or the employee's successor from assigning the employee's or successor's right or eligibility to receive compensation.
