W. Hull was born in McKinney, Texas, United States. Texas formed the setting of the documented education, bar admission, and professional career.
W. Hull's documented education includes a Bachelor of Arts from Southwest Texas State University. The institution was authorized by the Texas Legislature in 1899 as the Southwest Texas State Normal School, and its first classes met in 1903. Created to train public school teachers, it was renamed several times as its scope widened, becoming Southwest Texas State University in 1969 and Texas State University–San Marcos in 2003.
Admission to the State Bar of Texas in 1987 is the earliest documented professional milestone in W Hull's legal career. The career record also identifies a partner role at Star Enterprise, with a Houston address.
Star Enterprise was a joint venture between Texaco's refining and marketing business and Saudi Refining Inc., a unit of Saudi Aramco. The partners signed their agreement on November 10, 1988, and the venture gave Saudi Aramco a 50 percent share of Texaco's refining and marketing operations in 23 eastern and Gulf Coast states and Washington, D.C.
Star Enterprise's operations were later combined with Shell's eastern and Gulf Coast operations in Motiva Enterprises, a joint venture formed in the late 1990s.
Membership in the State Bar of Texas began with admission to practice in 1987. The State Bar of Texas is the organization that licenses and regulates attorneys in Texas.
