It used to stand for either 'Agricultural and Mechanical' or 'Agricultural and Mines', depending on the school.
Today, it usually has no OFFICIAL meaning in university names, but the abbreviation is retained as a link to the school's history.

If you are referring to Texas A & M University, the A stands for Agricultural and the M stands for Mechanical.

In 1871, the Texas Legislature established the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas and appropriated money for building the campus. The Constitution of 1876 declared that the A&M College was to be a branch of the non-existent University of Texas, but the University of Texas opened in 1883 under a different Board of Regents. The college opened for classes on October 4, 1876.
n 1963, the legislature changed the name to "Texas A&M University" to reflect the expanded roles and academic offerings of the university. Officially the letters "A&M" no longer have any explicit meaning, but they are retained as a link to the university's past
