TCBI 2025 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 63

| Executive Compensation |

#### Role of Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer as its independent executive compensation consulting firm for 2024 to provide:

▪ expertise on compensation strategy and program design;

▪ information relating to the selection of the Company’s peer group and compensation practices employed by the peer group and overall market;

▪ advice regarding structuring and establishing executive compensation plans or arrangements that are aligned with the objectives of the Company and the interests of stockholders;

▪ recommendations to the Compensation Committee concerning the existing executive compensation programs and changes to such programs; and

▪ benchmarking of director pay.

Pearl Meyer provided its executive compensation consulting services under the direction of the Compensation Committee and did not provide any additional services to the Company (other than a review of director pay for the Board). Management provides input to the compensation consultant but does not direct or oversee its activities with respect to the Company’s executive compensation programs. In order not to impair the independence of the compensation consultant or create the appearance of an impairment, the Compensation Committee follows a policy that the compensation consulting firm may not provide other services to the Company. The Compensation Committee has evaluated Pearl Meyer’s independence, including the factors relating to independence specified in Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Standards, and determined Pearl Meyer to be independent.

#### Compensation Peer Group
The Compensation Committee works with the independent compensation consultant to collect and review competitive market compensation practices. As one point of reference, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation practices for a peer group of publicly traded banks and bank holding companies. The peer group used in evaluating and setting 2024 NEO target compensation included the following:
