Longtime Houston attorney John D. White was elected as chairman of the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents yesterday. John is the managing partner of the local office of the Jones Walker law firm, a first rate litigator (particularly in oil and gas matters), and one of the genuinely nicest guys in the Houston legal community. A&M’s board has chosen well.
By the way, yesterday’s A&M Board meeting was the first for new regent Gene Stallings. Coach Stallings is a former A&M, University of Alabama, and NFL Phoenix Cardinals head football coach, and his 1992 Alabama team won the National Championship.
