Marshall Native and TSTC Graduate Returns to School to Enhance Local Family Housing Business

Henry Wells, a Texas State Technical College (TSTC) graduate and Marshall, Texas native, has returned to TSTC to further his education. Wells, who earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Networking and Systems Administration in 2018, is now pursuing a certificate in Architectural/Civil Drafting Technology. His decision was influenced by his wife and the need to enhance his family business, Wells Enterprises Unlimited LLC, which builds affordable houses.

Wells is learning to use computer-aided design (CAD) software for house design, a skill he deems essential for his business. He believes that presenting customers with physical designs allows them to visualize and modify house layouts, colors, and other features. He acknowledges TSTC's role in this learning process.

Wells' commitment to his education and business has been noted by his TSTC instructors. Brenda Murrell, a Drafting and Design instructor, commended Wells for his professionalism and dedication. Wells plans to graduate in 2025 and aims to construct a development of 10 to 20 three-bedroom, two-bath houses for his company.

Wells also hopes to motivate his three children to pursue an education at TSTC. As a U.S. Army veteran, he is contemplating further involvement with the Marshall location’s Veteran Services and possibly hosting employer spotlights for his fellow Drafting and Design students.

Wells views TSTC as a valuable asset to Marshall, Texas, and encourages others to consider attending. Registration for the summer and fall semesters at TSTC is currently open.
