Applications to the 10 ABA-accredited law schools in Texas increased 18 percent for the fall 2025 entering class compared with fall 2024, according to data from the Law School Admission Council. The surge mirrors a national uptick but is outpacing the national average of 12 percent.
What's Driving the Increase
Admissions officers at several Texas schools point to economic uncertainty, demand for AI-law expertise, and growing interest in immigration and employment law as drivers. LSAT testing volumes are also at a 15-year high nationally.
