Texas lawmakers push for University of Houston-Victoria to join Texas A&M system
Texas lawmakers propose transferring the University of Houston-Victoria to the Texas A&M University System. Spearheaded by State Senators Lois Kolkhorst and Paul Bettencourt, the proposal aims to enhance educational opportunities by integrating UHV into the larger system. This marks the second attempt to make such a transition. The move, if approved, would take effect on September 1, 2025. Local leaders and some stakeholders favor the proposal, while others express concerns about the impact on UHV’s identity. The decision now lies with the Texas Legislature.
