Legal Career
Schieffer, who had earlier begun taking courses at The University of Texas law school, returned to school and his course work. At that time, Texas law allowed legislators who had served three terms to take the State Bar exam a year early if they had taken two years of course work at an accredited law school. Schieffer completed his two years of course work at The University of Texas at Austin and passed the state bar exam. He was admitted to the practice of law on October 31, 1979, and became a corporate lawyer in Fort Worth, specializing in the oil and gas industry.
