The Ex-Students' Association of The University of Texas (more commonly known as Texas Exes) is the association of former students of the University of Texas at Austin.
The organization is one of the largest alumni associations in the world (the Texas Exes Houston Chapter has over 10,000 members), with chapters in 69 Texas cities, most U.S. states and the District of Columbia, and several foreign countries. The Texas Exes publish a magazine called The Alcalde.{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}} Its first female member was Jessie Andrews, who also became the first female instructor at the university, and for whom Andrews dormitory is named.{{Cite news |last=Partheymuller |first=Peter |date=1 September 2001 |title=Written in Limestone |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-c0DAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA34&dq=%22jessie+andrews%22+%22the+university+of+texas+at+austin%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZpe6i-_SJAxWDMVkFHSwABFsQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&q=%22jessie%20andrews%22%20%22the%20university%20of%20texas%20at%20austin%22&f=false |work=The Alcade |pages=34}}
