FBI Houston said Edward Wayne Rene was sentenced to 8 years in prison for theft of a public servant and sexual performance by a minor.

HOUSTON – An arrest warrant has been issued for a former assistant dean of Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law after he was charged with theft, according to a law enforcement source. The new charges come as part of an investigation into “improprieties related to the admissions process,” that came to light in Nov. 2019. A law enforcement source told KPRC 2 Wednesday that Rene was scheduled to turn himself in to law enforcement but had not as of Wednesday afternoon and a warrant was issued for his arrest. In February, TSU President Dr. Austin Lane was fired after the university’s board of regents voted 6-1 in favor of his termination. A spokesperson for the DA’s office said Rene is expected to surrender in the coming days.
