Overview

At Texas First, our mission is to provide quality financial services by developing exceptional and long-term personalized relationships with the citizens in the communities we serve. We are proud to say from the Boardroom to the Lobby, we are staffed with local employees ready to serve you.

Our journey began in 1973 when a group of investors organized by Charles T. Doyle purchased First State Bank of Hitchcock. This group also envisioned and accomplished having a banking center in all thirteen incorporated towns in Galveston County by the end of the twentieth century. In addition, Texas First acquired Rust-Ewing Insurance Agency, Paramount Mortgage Company, now called Texas First Mortgage, and opened an SBA Lending Division. With the acquisition of Gulf Coast Bank, Texas First Bank expanded into Harris, Jefferson and Chambers counties. The future has exciting new endeavors for the Board of Directors and Employees of Texas First to provide various means for us to continue to Helping Texans Build Texas.

Merger Update

As many of you have seen and heard, Texas First Bank is merging our Galveston and Winnie charters into our Texas City charter. We want to be sure our customers understand that only our charter has been sold and that our bank and all of the assets are now a part of the Texas First Bank charter for Texas City. NOTHING WILL CHANGE WITH REGARD TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH TEXAS FIRST BANK!!

Checks- Routing Number Update

Even though the Galveston and Texas City operations have been merged, your checks will still be honored. However, we do encourage you to place your next order though Texas First Bank so you can feel confident the routing number is changed correctly on your new checks. Also, there may be merchants who convert your check to an image at the point of sale. If their processor does not recognize the bank routing number, please be aware the new number is 113110256. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please do not hesitate to contact your nearest location.
