The School of Law, which had existed earlier at Independence, was reestablished.
Independence, Texas is near Houston--halfway between Navasota (the last major town before Bryan) and Brenham. The famous Washington-on-the-Brazos is the next town.
I wouldn't be surprised if Baylor tried to move back to the Houston area by merging with Houston Baptist to open a "Houston campus" or a relocation.

Move back to Houston??? Baylor never was in Houston
Houston is the premier city in Texas. But it seems like Dallas is more well known in the USA, probably due to the Dallas Cowboys. Internationally, Houston has more clout.
No.
If anything, Dallas and Houston are double megacities within one entity and "share the spotlight" so to speak. Sort of like a miniature version of the Rio/Sao Paulo dynamic in Brazil or maybe Sydney/Melbourne in Australia.

I think that Dallas has a slight advantage over Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. The thing is that all four cities are well known outside of Texas, but I think Dallas maintains the more iconic image that most folks outside of Texas have about that state. The Dallas Cowboys as well as shows like Dallas have helped to perpetuate this image. I also think that the fact that Dallas sits inland on the plains also contributes to it--versus Houston which is viewed also as a major Gulf Coast city and is often associated with the greater Gulf Coast region in general.

Right. Dallas seems to be more grouped with the "Plains/Central" cities. I'm pretty sure there is a strong Dallas-OKC relationship for example. What are the ties/relationships between Dallas and KC or STL? There is a strong Dallas/Little Rock relationship, isn't there?
I've almost always associated Houston with the Gulf Coast grouping of cities, but isn't Houston closer to SA and Austin than Dallas is as well?
Dallas seems to provide the more "stereotypical/quintessentially "Texan"" imagery than Houston, which doesn't really provide the "stereotypically" Texan imagery in the same sense.
Over the last few years Baylor has done so much building in Waco, they will never leave.
Baylor will be in Waco until the end of time.
Funny thing is the head of HBU is the old head of Baylor.
Besides, I believe if Baylor did leave Waco; It would head straight for Dallas. That almost happened once, but the city would sell its soul to devil just to keep Baylor around.

Dallas is closer to Austin, but Houston is closer to San Antonio.
