For first time takers of the bar exam, the average pass rate in Texas was 82% on the July, 2016 bar. For her law school, it was only 66%. (For repeaters, it was only 31%.) They have the lowest pass rate in the state.

I assume that the bar examination is standardized state-wide - i.e., that the questions are the same.

Your figures thus suggest that the test-takers at her law school are below-average in ability.

Good for her and God bless.

Yes, Historically that law school has had the lowest admission standards in the state. St. Mary's had a dean a few years ago that decided to give them a run for the money, and usually finishes second worse. UNT law school wants to compete in that market (so much so, it's had trouble getting accreditation), and now that it's gotten provisional accreditation, expect to see it near the bottom of the lists.

You might find a good lawyer from one of those schools, but your odds are going to be better with a UT, SMU, or Baylor lawyer. I've also run across some solid lawyers from South Texas (not to be confused with Texas Southern.)
