Texas A&M University School of Law traces its origins to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex's Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, founded in 1989 and housed in downtown Fort Worth. Texas A&M University acquired the school in 2013, rebranding it first as the Texas A&M University School of Law and fully integrating it into the A&M System in 2019. Since the acquisition the school has climbed sharply in the U.S. News rankings, improved its admissions credentials, and built a reputation for strong bar passage and practice-ready training.
The law school occupies a downtown Fort Worth campus near federal and state courts, major law firms, and corporate headquarters, giving students ready access to externships and clerkships. Its culture reflects the Aggie core values of integrity, leadership, and service, with a close-knit student body and an active alumni network, the Aggie Network. Distinctive strengths include intellectual property, dispute resolution, and legal technology, with robust clinical and experiential learning programs and a flourishing law and innovation focus.
