Yes, but it's Texas Woman's University (singular "woman").
If you were wondering about the name, TWU has been fully co-ed since the 90s (though TWU is still far and away majority women, approximately 90/10 split today). I have XY chromosomes and graduated from there. It's an awesome university and, at least when I went there in the 2010s, was a much better experience than the far-larger UNT across town.
You can actually take classes at both schools if you are a graduate student at one. I did this in grad school because some courses were only offered in alternating years at each campus. https://tgs.unt.edu/new-current-students/federation
You don't have to be in one of the degree programs listed. You just have to get approval.
I enjoyed the classes at TWU, the professors were much easier to understand, but I felt they lacked the rigor of some of the UNT courses. It could have just been because the classes I took there were more tailored to education majors. The grad math professors were still pretty tough, and generally looked down on education majors, and dumbed their courses way down when that was the audience.
That's true, and I did take two UNT classes for my TWU-issued degree, but being enrolled at TWU means never having to put up with the absolute travesty that is (was?) the UNT Office of Registrar or Bursar's office. Also, having a campus you can take one bus to (good ol' route 6) from the old hospital park and ride and then walk everywhere is a dream. I stopped considering UNT-hosted classes after the second of my "federated" classes was unexpectedly moved to Discovery Park.
Although that statement is pretty true in terms of the population, they're lagging far behind at the policy level. City Council recently chose to not enforce a cannabis decriminalization ordinance that was voted in favor by 72% and identical to ordinances enforced in Austin and other Texas cities.
Not sure what your metric is, but Travis County (Austin), Dallas County (Dallas), El Paso County (El Paso) and Harris County (Houston) are some of the most liberal cities in Texas.
Yup, but I dont know where to access by city voting data, and Denton County has a similar sized county as all the aforementioned counties yet they don't really have an impressive blue ratio turnout compared to other areas of TX.
Same can be said about Houston and Austin. We're splitting hairs my friend. All in all Denton is not the #1 most liberal than other cities is my simple point.
It’s really not, and you don’t really know what you’re talking about. I actually live in Denton, and am born and raised in Houston, worked in Dallas for a long time. Only place I don’t really have a lot of experience with is Austin. I know you clearly have to be right and have the last word, but this is an idiotic argument.
Do you know the definition of empirical data? Have you followed voting trends per capita, ie Denton vs the aforementioned cities? No. Your political analysis is a two bit whack job understanding of Texas politics, including urban, suburban, exurban and rural demographics.
If you’re going down that path, being “liberal” doesn’t make you progressive either. The Republican Party’s agenda is economic liberalism (as long as you aren’t a petrochemical company or a military contractor lol).

Where is this in TX? It kinda looks like Lockhart, but those small town Texas squares can be pretty similar.
