years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended are presented for purposes of complying

1.  Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting records of the 401(k) Stock Purchase Plan for the Employees
of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Its Affiliates (the Plan) are maintained
on the accrual basis of accounting.

The Plan's investments are held in common stock of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.
(CFBI), which is stated at fair value based on quoted market prices on the
valuation date, and in a money market fund.  Changes in fair market value
are reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
as net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments.
Money market investments are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

The historical cost of a specific security sold is used to compute gains and
losses on the sale of investment securities.

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by CFBI.

2.  Description of the Plan

The following is a general description of the Plan.  Participants should
refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

As of December 31, 1990, CFBI maintained the Employee Stock Ownership Plan
for Employees of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Its Affiliates (the ESOP).
Effective January 1, 1991, the ESOP was amended as the Plan.  All ESOP
participants as of December 31, 1990 became 100% vested in their accounts as
of January 1, 1991 with the inception of the Plan.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan qualified under Section  401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code and covers all employees scheduled to work 1,000
or more hours a year or, if not scheduled to work 1,000 hours, those
employees who do actually work 1,000 hours in a year.  The Plan is subject to
the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

                                                                        5

2.  Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions and Investment Options

Participants may contribute an amount not less than 2% and not exceeding 16%
of their compensation, limited by 401(k) regulations, and may direct
investments of their accounts in either common stock of CFBI or money market
funds.  The first 6% of the participant's contribution must be invested in
common stock of CFBI.  Additional contributions above 6% can be invested in
additional common stock of CFBI or in a money market fund.  CFBI matches 100%
of the participants' contributions up to 6% of the participants' compensation.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions
and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. 
Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to
restore forfeitures of reemployed participants, pay administrative expenses,
or reduce future company contributions.  The benefit to which a participant
is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's
account.  As of December 31, 1994, there were approximately 43,700 forfeited
shares available for use.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus
actual earnings thereon.  Participants employed prior to January 1, 1991 are
100% vested in their employer contributions.  Participants employed after
December 31, 1990 vest in their employer contributions at 20% per year with
100% vesting occurring after completion of five years of service, or upon
death or disability.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 up to a
maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance, reduced by the highest 
amount of any loan outstanding within the previous twelve months.  Loan
transactions are treated as a transfer from (to) the investment fund to
(from) the loan fund.  Loan terms range from

                                                                        6

2.  Description of the Plan (continued)

1-5 years or up to 30 years for the purchase of a primary residence.  The
loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear
interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined
quarterly by the Plan administrator.  Principal and interest are paid ratably
through monthly payroll deductions.  Subject to IRS limitations, participants
may make hardship withdrawals from a portion of their 401(k) contributions to
pay for an immediate and heavy financial need.

Payment of Benefits

Upon normal retirement at age 65, or in the event of death or disability, a
participant will receive a lump-sum payment of his (her) account in the Plan
and all amounts which have been allocated to his (her) ESOP account. 
Distribution of a participant's account must occur no later than April of the
calendar year after the participant reaches age 70 1/2.   In the event of
termination of employment with the employer for any other reason, the
participant is entitled to the vested portion of his (her) account in the
Plan and all vested amounts which have been allocated to his (her) ESOP
account.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, CFBI has the right under
the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

3.  Benefits Payable to Terminated Participants

At December 31, 1994 there were 34 terminated participants in the Plan
entitled to aggregate vested benefits totaling 15,939.2654 shares of CFBI
common stock, or $492,125, applying the fair market value of the stock of
$30.875 per share at December 31, 1994.  The actual distribution of these
benefits, in the form of stock and cash, will occur subsequent to
December 31, 1994 at the $30.875 per share market price for those
participants electing their distributions in cash, and at the per share
market price as of the distribution date subsequent to year-end for those
participants electing their distributions in shares.   At December 31, 1993,
there were 68 terminated participants entitled to aggregate vested benefits
totaling 20,850.6325 shares of CFBI common stock.

                                                                        7

4.  Notes Payable to Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.

During 1988, the Board of Directors of CFBI authorized the borrowing of up to
$1,000,000 for the purpose of buying additional shares through the ESOP.  The
ESOP borrowed $300,000 during 1988 and the remaining $700,000 during 1989 from
CFBI.  Interest at floating prime and principal payments of $50,000 are due
quarterly through November  1, 1994.  The notes were paid off on November 1,
1994 and all collateral released.

5.  Form 5500

The Department of Labor requires that the realized gains and losses from
securities transactions reflected in Form 5500 be calculated as the
difference between the proceeds of securities sold and the fair market value
of those securities at the beginning of the year (or purchase price if
acquired during the year of sale).  Under generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), realized gains and losses are calculated on the difference
between the sales proceeds and the historical cost.  The following schedule
shows the amounts reflected in the accompanying GAAP financial statements,
compared to the amounts in the Form 5500, as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993:

The plan administrator is in the process of obtaining a determination letter
from the Internal Revenue Service of the Plan's qualification under Internal
Revenue Code (IRC) Section 401(a).  The current determination letter is dated
June 6, 1989.  The Plan was amended during 1993.  It is anticipated that the
Plan qualifies under 401(a) Section of the IRC and is, therefore, not subject
to tax under present income tax laws.
