	Sec. 2502.055.  CERTAIN PROMOTIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL 
ACTIVITIES NOT REBATES NOT PROHIBITED.  (a)  The activities 
described in this section are not rebates.  Nothing in this

agent from:  This subchapter does not prohibit
		(1)  engaging in legal promotional and educational 
activities that are not conditioned on the referral of title 
insurance business;
		(2)  purchasing advertising promoting the title 
insurance company or the title insurance agent at market rates from 
any person in any publication, event, or media;
		(3)  delivering to a party in the transaction or the 
party's representative legal documents or funds which are directly 
or indirectly related to a transaction closed by the title 
insurance company or title insurance agent; or
		(4)  participating in an association of attorneys, 
builders, developers, realtors, or other real estate practitioners 
provided that the level of such participation does not exceed 
normal participation of a volunteer member of the association and

an association.
	(b)  "Market rate" means the price at which a seller, under no 
obligation or duress to sell, is willing to accept and a buyer, 
under no obligation or duress to buy, is willing to pay in an 
arms-length transaction.  The market rate is determined by 
comparing the rights or items purchased or sold to similar rights or 
items that have been recently purchased by others or sold to others 
including others not in title insurance business.
