Alumni:

3,768 (57%) of our 6612 graduates are active members of the State Bar of Texas.
TMSL Alumni practice in 45 states plus the DC and in 5 foreign countries

While I’ve attached the map Prudence provided, the map itself is not a good one and it does not pinpoint any of our alumni locations.  I think I’d use the data previously cited and perhaps if we want to include more, you might want to include the top 10 states and DC.
