There is change brewing at the helm ofTexas A&M University School of Law.

Andrew Morriss, the first permanent dean since Texas A&M bought the law school from Texas Wesleyan University in 2012, is moving up to become Texas A&M University’s dean of the school of innovation and vice president for economic development. Law professor Thomas Mitchell will be interim dean this year as a law school committee searches for and hires a new permanent dean to begin next summer.
