STCL Houston Leadership

Welcome from the President and Dean

I am delighted to introduce you to South Texas College of Law Houston, which has educated distinguished attorneys for nearly a century. The law school was founded by leaders of Houston’s legal community in 1923 to offer an exceptional legal education to working professionals. A century later, we attract students from across the country who appreciate South Texas’s welcoming community and commitment to excellence.

STCL Houston is a beacon for students who want a legal education that equips them to be ready to lead… ready to win… and ready to practice law — as public defenders, state Supreme Court justices, big-law litigators, prosecutors, professors, and business leaders. Our more than 16,000 alumni have blazed trails for themselves and served their communities and the legal profession proudly.

I invite you to visit our campus in person or virtually to experience what makes South Texas special. Please also explore more stories online about the law school’s commitment to justice, engaged student population, and highly credentialed faculty.

We invite you to become part of the South Texas legal community. Please take a serious look at what we have to offer. Once you do, I hope you will see that this is where you belong.
