By this time next year, Texas Wesleyan School of Law could have a new name: Texas A&M University School of Law at Texas Wesleyan University.
The deal has been in the works since October 2011. Today both universities, as well as The Texas A&M University System, are announcing they signed a letter of intent for A&M University to pay $20 million to assume ownership and operations of Texas Wesleyan’s law school; A&M would pay Texas Wesleyan an additional $5 million within five years of closing, says A&M System spokesman Steve Moore. Texas Wesleyan would remain the owner of the land and facilities and would rent them to A&M.
