===Texas First Bank History===

Texas First Bank is Galveston County's largest, locally owned family of independent community banks. Building an organization takes many years of planning. Charles T. Doyle had a vision for banking and that vision became a reality in 1973 with the acquisition of his first bank.

By year-end 1999, as part of Doyle's vision, he had a banking center in all thirteen cities in Galveston County. Strategic planning sessions are consistently held for the Texas First Bank team and these sessions lead to the services and products, which have made Texas First the bank of choice for area residents. Strategic planning has also contributed to the growth of this bank with recognition state and nation wide.
