Remembering W.A. ‘Tex’ Moncrief Jr.
Donor Pulse
Legendary oilman and philanthropist W.A. “Tex” Moncrief Jr. died last December at the age of 101. His generous spirit continues to benefit generations of Texans by improving UT Southwestern Medical Center’s impact across North Texas.
Passionate about expanding access to health care, Mr. Moncrief made many of his gifts to UT Southwestern in honor of his father, legendary wildcatter W.A. “Monty” Moncrief. Bringing UT Southwestern’s exemplary patient care to the Fort Worth community was a hallmark of the Moncriefs’ giving. They supported the institution’s innovative brain research, helped expand cancer care through the Moncrief Cancer Institute in Fort Worth, and brought more than a dozen primary and specialty services to their community through the UT Southwestern Monty and Tex Moncrief Medical Center at Fort Worth.
With a philanthropic legacy spanning six decades, Mr. Moncrief’s sustained generosity reached almost $42 million, creating a transformational impact on Moncrief Cancer Institute and the UT Southwestern Monty and Tex Moncrief Medical Center at Fort Worth. His legacy of giving continues to benefit UT Southwestern through the gifts being made in his memory.
