From our strategic location in one of the largest and fastest-growing legal markets in the country (Dallas-Fort Worth), Texas A&M Law is advancing the future of legal education with unprecedented momentum. Motivated by our Aggie Core Values, our faculty are advancing knowledge at the intersection of scholarly excellence and real-world application. Through innovative and collaborative teaching, we equip service-oriented lawyers, as well as professional and industry leaders of all kinds, to address the legal, economic, and social issues that will forge the future of Texas and the global community.
Texas A&M School of Law is located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, Texas with easy access to both I-30 and I-35W and only minutes from DFW International Airport, Arlington, and Dallas. Trains to Dallas and DFW airport are also steps away.
On August 13, 2023, Texas A&M University School of Law began our “Aggieversary” — our commemoration of a decade producing the next generation of lawyers and professionals poised to change the legal landscape.
“I love my job because of the good fortune of having colleagues who are deeply committed to the scholarly project, to our students, and to the goal of moving the law school forward.”

Texas is the place to study law if you’re interested in engaging the biggest challenges we’re facing as a nation. Given our size and central position in the country, there is no problem that can’t be solved by the country, if we can solve it in Texas.
And you’re not just choosing a law school, you’re also choosing a city to live in for the next three years. When you choose the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, you’ll have access to all the museums, restaurants, entertainment, outdoor activities, and professional sports teams you would expect in the fourth largest metropolitan area in the nation. And you’ll be within walking distance of firms, courts, and government agencies, and Dallas—with its top-tier legal market—is just a short drive or train ride away.
Our Six Core Values
A commitment to excellence transforms everything you do in your professional and personal life. Excellence is shattering the bar and rising up to meet new challenges. Excellence does not settle for “good enough” and requires you to put your best foot forward every day. Excellence entails perseverance in the face of adversity, initiative to take on new opportunities, enthusiasm for even the most mundane of tasks, and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement. — Terri Lynn Helge, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs
Integrity is at the heart of lawyer professionalism. Clients and the broader justice system expect the highest ethical conduct from attorneys, and our programs help foster and develop that core value. — Aric Short, Professor of Law and Director, Professionalism and Leadership Program
In the private sector, in government, and in the non-profit world, the number of lawyers in prominent positions of leadership is disproportionate to their numbers in the community at large. Beyond the limelight, whether in helping communities identify and articulate the issues they face, in facilitating difficult conversations about those issues, or in helping our communities engage them, lawyers are often called to step forward. The legal education we provide at Texas A&M is designed to empower our students with both the skills and the compassion to serve as effective leaders in those and other settings. — Robert B. Ahdieh, Dean and Anthony G. Buzbee Endowed Dean’s Chair
Loyalty is a commitment to something other than and larger than yourself. Aggies are loyal to each other, to Texas A&M, and to this great country we live in.
— Glynn S. Lunney, Jr., Professor of Law and Professor of Engineering, TAMU Class of ’84
As a major public institution of higher education, Texas A&M University has both an extraordinary opportunity and a special responsibility to create and maintain a climate that affirms diversity of persons as well as diversity of views. Diversity is an indispensable component of academic excellence. A commitment to diversity means a commitment to the inclusion, welcome and support of individuals from all groups, encompassing the various characteristics of persons in our community. Among these characteristics are race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation and disability. As we harness the power of diversity, we will provide students, faculty and staff a university experience rich in perspectives and opportunities to learn from each other. — Texas A&M Commitment to Diversity
Pro bono service is volunteering to provide helpful legal work (at no cost) to those who otherwise could not afford it. To pursue a career in law is to pursue a career in service.
— Terence Cook, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, TAMU Class of ‘96
