Via one of my favorite new reads, the Sophistic Miltonian Serbonian Blog, mouthful that, comes Retentionally yours, noting the following attrition rates among Texas law schools:
University of Houston Law Center: 1.79%
SMU Dedman School of Law: 1.81%
University of Texas School of Law: 2.13%
Texas Tech University School of Law: 2.99%
South Texas College of Law: 4.45%
Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law: 6.99%
Baylor University School of Law: 7.23%
Texas Wesleyan University School of Law: 10.15%
It’s nice to see the University of Houston come out on top in this one, confirming my own opinion that it’s a great place to go to law school. See also Above the Law, Should I Stay Or Should I Go? Law School Attrition, Tex Parte Blog

At second thought I tend to be a little skeptical of these numbers given difficulty in measuring this kind of stat.
