Well, I think the idea is that by re-repatriating your law degree at UT, you're putting a prestigious, recognized name at the top of your resume. (I assure you that UT is a recognized name in law, though you can substitute Yale, Stanford, Harvard, etc. if you like.) The problem, I think, is that a one-year LLM just won't open as many doors as a JD from the same school. (But it will open some!)
