law.txwes.edu isn't just a subDOMAIN of txwes.edu, it is actually a subZONE of
txwes.edu. So if you want to change the law.txwes.edu MX record (which already
exists), then you would have to do so in the child zone, not the parent.

If you just want an MX record for txwes.edu, add one to the txwes.edu zone
file.
