Summary

HR2767 is a resolution commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. The resolution recognizes the school's establishment in 1989, originally as the Dallas/Fort Worth School of Law, and its subsequent affiliation with Texas Wesleyan University in 1992.

Contention

While the text of the resolution primarily focuses on the achievements and recognition of the Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, it does not delve into points of contention.
