FULL TEXT:
WHEREAS, The First National Bank in Hebbronville is celebrating its centennial in 2013; and WHEREAS, Established on May 23, 1913, as the Hebbronville State Bank, the institution was originally located on a site on Texas Avenue donated by Oscar Thompson, a founding director; it was chartered on July 23 of that year with paid-in capital of $25,000; and WHEREAS, A new building was constructed on Galbraith Street in 1924, and two years later the bank adopted its present-day name; it opened its first drive-up window in 1973, and a little more than a decade later, it moved to its current location on Smith Street; and WHEREAS, Led by president and chief executive officer Israel Hinojosa, the bank today has over $138 million in assets, and it employs 9 officers and 15 other staff members; for 96 consecutive quarters, it has earned a five-star rating from BauerFinancial, Inc., which places it among the elite group of Sustained Superiority Banks, a distinction held by only three percent of the nation's banking institutions; and WHEREAS, Businesses that employ Texans and contribute to local economies are important components of a prosperous future, and for the past century, First National Bank has played an essential role in the Hebbronville community; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First National Bank in Hebbronville and extend to all those associated with the institution sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for the bank as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
