recognized  as   among  the   fastest   growing  areas   in  the   nation.   The
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission  area has a  projected population growth  rate of 23.8%
between 1994  and  2000, and  the  Brownsville-Harlingen area  has  a  projected
population  growth rate of 16.0% during  that same period. The business strategy
of Texas Regional is for  the Bank to provide  its customers with the  financial
sophistication  and breadth of products of  a regional bank, while retaining the
local appeal and service level of a community bank. Management believes that the
Company is well positioned in its market due to its responsive customer service,
the strong community involvement of  Texas State Bank management and  employees,
recent trends in the Texas banking environment and the economy of the Rio Grande
Valley.  Management's  strategy  is  to  provide  a  business  culture  in which
individual customers  and small  and medium  sized businesses  are accorded  the
highest priority in all aspects of the Company's operations. Management believes
that  individualized customer  service will  allow the  Company to  increase its
market share in lending volume and deposits. As part of its operating and growth
strategies, the Company is working to attract business from, and provide service
to, small to  medium sized  businesses, and  expand its  operations in  McAllen,
Harlingen and other strategic areas in the Rio Grande Valley.

    Consistent  with  this  strategy,  during 1995,  Texas  State  Bank acquired
banking locations in Rio  Grande City and  Roma, Texas, and  in January 1996  it
entered into definitive agreements to acquire two banks headquartered in Mission
and Hidalgo, Texas. See "The Company" and "Proposed Mergers."

    At  December  31, 1995,  Texas Regional  employed  332 full  time equivalent
employees. The address of Texas Regional's principal executive office is  Kerria
Plaza,  Suite  301,  3700  North  10th Street,  McAllen,  Texas  78501,  and its
telephone number is (210) 631-5400.

                                  THE MERGERS

    Texas State Bank has for some time sought appropriate acquisitions to permit
the Bank to expand within the market  areas served by Texas State Bank and  into
adjacent  market areas in  the Rio Grande  Valley. In January  1996, the Company
entered into definitive agreements to acquire through merger First State Bank  &
Trust  Co., Mission,  Texas ("First State  Bank") and The  Border Bank, Hidalgo,
Texas ("Border Bank")  (the "Mergers").  First State  Bank and  Border Bank  had
combined  total assets  of approximately  $524.0 million  at December  31, 1995.
Assuming consummation of the Mergers, on a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995,
Texas  State  Bank  would  have  had  total  assets  of  $1.143  billion,  which

                                       3
<PAGE>
would have made Texas Regional the largest bank holding company headquartered in
the  Rio Grande Valley. At December 31,  1995, First State Bank had total assets
of $404.5  million,  loans outstanding  (net  of unearned  discount)  of  $188.4
million  and stockholders' equity of $59.4 million. At December 31, 1995, Border
Bank had total  assets of  $119.5 million,  loans outstanding  (net of  unearned
discount)  of $47.3 million and stockholders' equity of $17.1 million. Elliot B.
Bottom is the Chairman of  the Board of both First  State Bank and Border  Bank,
and  the banks have substantial common ownership.  The purpose of the Mergers is
to further strengthen Texas State Bank's branch network and banking business  in
the  Rio Grande Valley by adding six  new banking locations in Mission, Penitas,
McAllen and Hidalgo, Texas. The purchase  price for the Mergers is estimated  to
be  $99.5 million, approximately  $40.0 million of  which will be  paid from the
proceeds of the offering made hereby. The Company intends to fund the balance of
the purchase price principally from liquidation of cash equivalents and, to  the
extent  necessary, selected investment  securities on a  consolidated basis. See
"Proposed Mergers" and "Use of Proceeds."

    Management of Texas  State Bank believes  that the Mergers  will expand  the
Company's  community  banking  network  into  contiguous  markets, substantially
increasing its market share  and enabling the Bank  to compete more  effectively
with  other  financial institutions  in the  Rio Grande  Valley. Because  of the
proximity of Mission to McAllen, there  is a substantial overlap in the  markets
served by Texas State Bank and First State Bank. For this reason and because the
banks  serve a similar  customer base, First  State Bank is  considered by Texas
State Bank management to be a direct competitor of Texas State Bank,  particular
as  to loan customers. The new or expanded services to be offered to First State
Bank and  Border  Bank  customers include  enhanced  data  processing  services,
additional  automated teller facilities and other  services now offered to Texas
State Bank  customers. Texas  State Bank  management believes  that First  State
Bank, Border Bank and Texas State Bank customers will benefit from the expansion
of  Texas State Bank's branch  network from nine to  15 banking locations. Texas
State Bank expects to realize certain operating and administrative  efficiencies
as   a  result  of   the  Mergers;  however,  because   of  the  relatively  low
employee-to-asset ratio at First State Bank and Border Bank, cost savings is not
a principal motivating factor for the Mergers. The operating efficiencies  which
are  expected include  the use  by all banking  locations of  the existing Texas
State Bank  data processing  facility,  operation of  a single  human  resources
department, and economies of a combined advertising program.

                SUMMARY PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The following unaudited summary pro forma combined financial information has
been derived  from  the historical  consolidated  financial information  of  the
Company,  adjusted  to give  effect to  the proposed  acquisition of  assets and
assumption of liabilities in connection with the Mergers, the estimated purchase
accounting adjustments resulting from the Mergers, and the proposed issuance  of
Common  Stock  in the  offering herein  described (assuming  no exercise  of the
Underwriters' over-allotment option), in each  case as though such  transactions
had  occurred on December 31, 1995. The pro forma combined financial information
is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations
that would have been achieved had the transactions reflected therein occurred on
such date  or that  may occur  in the  future. The  pro forma  adjustments  with
respect  to the Mergers  reflect December 31,  1995 balances and  are subject to
change prior to the closing date of the Mergers. The summary pro forma  combined
financial  information does  not purport  to project  the consolidated financial
information of the Company for any future period. The information should be read
in conjunction with (i) the pro forma financial information, including the notes
thereto, which appears  elsewhere in  this Prospectus, and  (ii) the  historical
consolidated financial statements of Texas Regional, First State Bank and Border
Bank,  including the  respective notes thereto,  which appear  elsewhere in this
Prospectus. See "Proposed  Mergers," "Texas Regional  Bancshares, Inc.  Selected
Consolidated Financial Information" and "Index to Financial Statements."

                                  RISK FACTORS

    IN  ADDITION  TO THE  OTHER INFORMATION  IN  THIS PROSPECTUS,  THE FOLLOWING
FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS:

    RISKS OF THE MERGER -- GENERAL.  Upon completion of the Mergers, Texas State
Bank's size  will be  substantially increased  in terms  of assets  and  deposit
liabilities.  The increases in  assets and deposits  will be in  addition to the
substantial increases in assets and deposits already experienced by Texas  State
Bank over the last two years. In addition, the Company has not historically made
acquisitions  on the same scale as the  Mergers, and the future prospects of the
Company will depend,  in significant  part, on  a number  of factors,  including
Texas  State Bank's ability  to compete effectively in  the Mission and Hidalgo,
Texas market areas; its ability to limit the outflow of deposits in the acquired
banking locations formerly part of First State Bank and Border Bank; its success
in retaining earning assets,  particularly loans, acquired  in the Mergers,  and
its  ability to generate new earning  assets; its ability to control noninterest
expense in order to maintain a  favorable overall efficiency ratio; its  ability
to  attract and retain  qualified management and  other appropriate personnel to
staff the newly acquired banking locations;  and its ability to earn  acceptable
levels  of noninterest  income from the  banking locations. No  assurance can be
given as to any  of the foregoing or  that the Company's existing  profitability
will  not be adversely affected by the  operations of First State Bank or Border
Bank, that the Company will be able to achieve results in the future similar  to
those  achieved  in  the  past, or  that  the  Company will  be  able  to manage
effectively the growth resulting from the Mergers. In addition, the Mergers will
restrict  the  Company's  ability   to  consummate  other  possible   beneficial
transactions  which require further leverage or  would result in the creation of
additional intangibles. See "Proposed Mergers."

    RISKS OF THE MERGER -- CREDIT QUALITY.  In connection with the Mergers,  the
Company  or its  representatives reviewed the  First State Bank  and Border Bank
loan portfolios. This  review included  all loans on  the First  State Bank  and
Border Bank watch lists, a substantial proportion of the loans to borrowers with
other  large lines of credit and selected  other loans in each bank's portfolio.
The Company's examinations  were made  using criteria,  analyses and  collateral
evaluations  that the Company  has traditionally used in  the ordinary course of
its business. Nonperforming  assets (including  accruing loans 90  days or  more
past  due) at  December 31, 1995  totaled $9.6  million at First  State Bank and
Border Bank compared to $4.2 million at Texas State Bank. See "First State  Bank
&  Trust Co.  Management's Discussion  and Analysis  of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations" and "The Border Bank Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Management of Texas  Regional
believes  that the credit quality of the  loan portfolio of First State Bank and
Border Bank is nonetheless  acceptable in terms of  risk and that the  increased
risk is expected to be offset by increased reserves and higher interest rates on
certain  classifications of loans. In addition, as  a result of the Mergers, the
allowance for  loan loss  reserves  will increase.  At  December 31,  1995,  the
Company's  allowance for loan  losses was 1.01%  of total loans,  while on a pro
forma basis at December 31, 1995, the Company's allowance for loan losses  would
have  been 1.44% of  total loans. However, there  can be no  assurance as to the
future performance of the loan portfolio acquired in the Mergers.

    RISKS OF  THE MERGER  -- COMPLIANCE  AND MANAGEMENT.   On  October 8,  1993,
Border Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Texas Department
of  Banking (the  "Banking Department"), and  on December 14,  1993, First State
Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Banking Department. The
Memorandum of Understanding applicable to each bank requires each bank to, among
other things, (i) develop and follow policies related to loan documentation  and
review, (ii) increase (and continue monitoring the adequacy of) each bank's loan
valuation  reserve, and (iii) review each bank's investment and funds management
policies. Texas  State  Bank  has  reviewed  deficiency  letters  received  from
applicable  regulatory authorities related to  each Memorandum of Understanding,
which, among other things, indicate that  in the judgment of certain  regulatory
authorities  First State Bank  and Border Bank had  not yet adequately addressed
the deficiencies identified  in the  Memoranda of  Understanding. See  "Proposed
Mergers."  Prior to entering into the  agreements relating to the Mergers, First
State Bank and  Border Bank  began to implement  additional corrective  efforts,
including  retaining an outside consultant to assist in documentation and policy
reviews for  First State  Bank  and Border  Bank.  Texas State  Bank  management
believes  that the implementation of Texas State Bank's policies and procedures,
and the application of  Texas State Bank's internal  controls, make it  unlikely
that

                                       7
<PAGE>
the  deficiencies identified in the Memoranda of Understanding will be repeated,
although there can  be no  certainty that  all deficiencies  will be  adequately
addressed  to  the satisfaction  of  applicable regulatory  authorities.  If the
problems addressed  in  the  Memoranda  of  Understanding  persist,  they  could
adversely affect the future operations of the Company.

    Following  consummation of  the Mergers, (i)  all lending  at the facilities
formerly operated by First State Bank and Border Bank will be conducted pursuant
to Texas State Bank's policies and  under the supervision of Texas State  Bank's
Chief Lending Officer, Frank A. Kavanagh, (ii) investments in securities will be
managed  by the investment division of Texas State Bank in accordance with Texas
State Bank's  investment  policies  and (iii)  following  conversion  (which  is
expected by Texas Regional management to occur in fall 1996) all data processing
will  be performed by Texas State Bank's data processing center. In general, the
policies and  procedures  for  all  banking  locations,  including  the  banking
locations formerly operated as First State Bank and Border Bank facilities, will
be  Texas State Bank's  policies and procedures.  Nonperforming assets and loans
presently past due on the  books of First State Bank  and Border Bank have  been
reviewed  by or  on behalf  of Texas State  Bank and  those loans  which, in the
judgment of Texas State Bank, represent probable losses will be recorded at zero
at the  time of  consummation of  the Mergers,  although Texas  State Bank  will
nonetheless pursue collection in appropriate circumstances.

    GEOGRAPHIC  CONCENTRATION.   Texas Regional's profitability  is dependent on
the profitability of its subsidiary bank, Texas State Bank, which operates  only
in  the Rio Grande  Valley of Texas.  In addition to  adverse changes in general
conditions in  the United  States, unfavorable  changes in  economic  conditions
affecting  the  Rio  Grande  Valley,  such  as  adverse  effects  of  weather on
agricultural production, adverse changes in United States-Mexico relations,  and
substantial  Mexican peso devaluations, may have a significant adverse impact on
operations of the Company.

    COMPETITION.   The banking  industry  in the  Rio  Grande Valley  is  highly
competitive.  Texas  State Bank,  First State  Bank and  Border Bank  compete as
financial  intermediaries  with  other   commercial  banks,  savings  and   loan
associations,  credit unions,  mortgage banking  companies, securities brokerage
companies, consumer and  commercial finance companies,  insurance companies  and
money  market  mutual funds  operating  in Texas  and  elsewhere. Many  of these
competitors have substantially greater resources  and lending limits than  Texas
State Bank has or will have following the Mergers, and many of these competitors
offer  services that Texas  State Bank does not  currently provide. In addition,
non-depository  institution  competitors  are  generally  not  subject  to   the
extensive regulation applicable to Texas State Bank.

    RELIANCE  ON  CHIEF  EXECUTIVE  OFFICER.    Texas  Regional  has experienced
substantial growth in assets and  deposits during the recent past,  particularly
since  Glen E. Roney became Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company in 1985. Although Mr. Roney is the largest individual shareholder of
the Company and is the beneficiary  of a deferred compensation arrangement  with
the  Company that generally requires continued  service for vesting, the Company
does not  have an  employment  agreement with  Mr. Roney  and  the loss  of  the
services  of Mr.  Roney could  have a material  adverse effect  on the Company's
business and prospects. See "Management -- Executive Compensation."

    REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS AND  REQUIREMENTS.  Texas  Regional and Texas  State
Bank  are  subject  to  extensive government  regulation  and  supervision under
various state  and federal  laws,  rules and  regulations, including  rules  and
regulations  promulgated by  the Federal Reserve  Board ("FRB")  and the Banking
Department. These laws  and regulations  are designed primarily  to protect  the
Bank  Insurance  Fund of  the  Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation ("FDIC"),
depositors  and  borrowers,  and  to   further  certain  social  policies   and,
consequently,  may impose limitations on the Company that may not be in the best
interests of  the  Company  and  holders  of  Common  Stock.  See  "Business  --
Regulation and Supervision" and "Business -- Capital Resources." The Company and
the Bank are subject to changes in federal and state laws, as well as changes in
rules   and  regulations,  governmental  policies   and  changes  in  accounting
principles. The effects of any such  potential changes cannot be predicted,  but
they  could have an adverse effect on the business and operations of the Company
and the Bank.

    DILUTION.  At December 31, 1995, the  net tangible book value of the  Common
Stock  was $9.20 per share.  "Net tangible book value  per share" represents the
tangible  net  worth  of  the  Company  (total  assets  less  intangible  assets
(including  goodwill) and total liabilities), divided by the number of shares of
Common Stock  outstanding.  Without  taking  into account  any  changes  in  net
tangible book value after

                                       8
<PAGE>
December  31, 1995, after giving effect to  the sale by the Company of 2,180,000
shares of  Common Stock  offered hereby  (assuming a  public offering  price  of
$21.00  per share) and  after deducting underwriting  discounts, commissions and
estimated offering expenses, and after giving effect to the Mergers (assumed  to
have  been consummated effective December 31,  1995), the pro forma net tangible
book value at December 31, 1995 would have been $9.30 per share, representing an
increase of $0.10 per share to current shareholders and a dilution of $11.70 per
share to persons purchasing the shares offered hereby.

    CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP.  After issuance of the 2,180,000 shares  offered
by  the  Company pursuant  to  this Prospectus,  officers  and directors  of the
Company, and affiliates of  those persons, will beneficially  own 17.83% of  the
Company's  outstanding  Common  Stock  (or  17.17%  assuming  the  Underwriters'
overallotment option is  exercised in  full). See "Principal  Holders of  Common
Stock." Accordingly, such persons have the ability to act together as a group to
direct the Company's affairs and business, which may include taking actions that
may not be in the interests of the other shareholders.

    SHARES  AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE.  The  future sale of a substantial number
of shares of Common  Stock by existing  shareholders, or the  sale of shares  of
Common Stock by shareholders purchasing shares of Common Stock in this offering,
could  have a material adverse  effect on the market  price of the Common Stock.
The Company, its directors and  executive officers, and the Selling  Shareholder
have  agreed that for  a period of 120  days after the  date of this Prospectus,
they will not, directly or indirectly,  sell or otherwise dispose of any  shares
of Common Stock (except for shares of Common Stock offered hereby and other than
shares  offered pursuant to  the Texas Regional  Bancshares, Inc. Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (with 401(k) provisions)  (the "KSOP") or other employee  benefit
plans) without the prior written consent of the Underwriters. See "Underwriting"
and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

    LIMITED  MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK.  The Common Stock is held by approximately
642 shareholders of record.  The total trading volume  for the Common Stock  for
1995,  as reported on the Summary of Activity for December 1995, prepared by The
Nasdaq Stock  Market for  the Company,  indicates that  total share  volume  was
752,910 shares during 1995, representing an aggregate of 337 trades. Alex. Brown
& Sons Incorporated and First Southwest Company have made a market in the Common
Stock  since March 1994 (when  the Common Stock was  first qualified for trading
through the Nasdaq  National Market System),  and each has  advised the  Company
that  they intend to make a market in the  Common Stock as long as the volume of
trading  activity  in   the  Common  Stock   and  certain  other   market-making
considerations  justify  doing so.  However, there  can be  no assurance  that a
liquid trading market for the Common  Stock will develop, that it will  continue
if  it does develop,  or that after  the completion of  this offering the Common
Stock will trade at or above the offering  price set forth on the cover of  this
Prospectus.  Making a market  involves maintaining bid  and asked quotations for
the Common Stock and  being available as a  principal to effect transactions  in
reasonable quantities at those quoted prices, subject to various securities laws
and  other regulatory requirements.  A public trading  market having the desired
characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the presence in
the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers  of the Common Stock at any  given
time, which presence is dependent upon the individual decisions of investors and
general  economic and market conditions, over  which neither the Company nor any
market-maker has control.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    The net  proceeds to  Texas  Regional from  this offering,  after  deducting
estimated  expenses of the offering, are estimated to be $         . The Company
intends to use $40.0  million of the  proceeds from this  offering to finance  a
portion  of the consideration to the shareholders of First State Bank and Border
Bank in the Mergers. The remainder of the net proceeds, if any, will be used for
general corporate purposes.  The total consideration  to be paid  to both  First
State  Bank and Border Bank shareholders in the Mergers is estimated to be $99.5
million.  The  Company  intends  to  fund  the  balance  of  the   consideration
principally  from liquidation of cash equivalents  and, to the extent necessary,
selected investment  securities on  a consolidated  basis. See  "Texas  Regional
Bancshares, Inc. Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information."

    Consummation  of  the  offering  herein  described  is  subject  to  certain
conditions, including  the  contemporaneous  consummation of  the  Mergers.  See
"Proposed Mergers" and "Underwriting."

                                  THE COMPANY

    Texas  Regional  is a  registered  bank holding  company  whose wholly-owned
subsidiary bank, Texas State Bank, conducts a commercial banking business in the
Rio  Grande  Valley  of  Texas.  At  December  31,  1995,  Texas  Regional   had
consolidated  assets  of  $646.8  million, loans  outstanding  (net  of unearned
discount) of  $450.9  million,  total  deposits of  $579.7  million,  and  total
shareholders'  equity of $62.7  million. For the years  ended December 31, 1995,
and 1994,  the Company  earned net  income  of $8.7  million and  $7.2  million,
respectively,  for a  return on  average assets for  these periods  of 1.51% and
1.43%, respectively. At December 31, 1995, the Company had nonperforming  assets
(including   accruing  loans  90  days  or  more  past  due)  of  $4.2  million,
representing 0.9% of period-end loans and other nonperforming assets  (primarily
other real estate).

    Assuming  consummation of the Mergers, on a  pro forma basis at December 31,
1995, Texas State  Bank would have  had consolidated assets  of $1.143  billion,
loans  outstanding (net of unearned discount)  of $685.3 million, total deposits
of $1.024 billion, and  total shareholders' equity  of $105.3 million.  Assuming
consummation  of the Mergers,  on a pro  forma basis at  December 31, 1995 Texas
State Bank would  have had  non-performing assets (including  accruing loans  90
days  or more past due) of $13.8  million, representing 2.0% of period-end loans
and other nonperforming assets (primarily other real estate).

    All of Texas Regional's operations are located in the Rio Grande Valley, and
therefore the  ability of  Texas Regional  to continue  its rate  of growth  and
profitability is closely linked to the economy of the Rio Grande Valley. The Rio
Grande  Valley is  composed of the  following Texas  counties: Hidalgo, Cameron,
Willacy and  Starr (the  "Rio Grande  Valley"). The  economy of  the Rio  Grande
Valley  is  based  principally  on  retailing  (including  trade  with  Mexico),
government, agriculture, tourism,  manufacturing, health care  and education.  A
large number of retirees spend all or part of the year in the Rio Grande Valley.
Many  twin manufacturing and assembly plants,  or "maquiladoras," are located in
the Rio Grande  Valley or  in communities located  across the  border in  Mexico
(such  as Reynosa and Matamoros). The market area served by Texas State Bank has
been  recognized  as  among  the  fastest  growing  areas  in  the  nation.  The
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission  area has a  projected population growth  rate of 23.8%
between 1994  and  2000, and  the  Brownsville-Harlingen area  has  a  projected
population growth rate of 16.0% during that same period.

    Texas  State Bank has a total of  nine full service banking locations in the
Rio Grande Valley  through which  the Bank offers  a broad  range of  commercial
banking  services. The Bank intends  to operate all of  the banking locations of
First State Bank and  Border Bank and, after  consummation of the Mergers,  will
have  15 full service  banking locations. The  Bank serves as  a community bank,
providing for the banking needs of retailers, manufacturers, food producers  and
processors, real estate developers and builders, and other businesses in the Rio
Grande  Valley.  For  commercial  customers, Texas  State  Bank  offers checking
facilities, certificates  of  deposit,  short-term  loans  for  working  capital
purposes,  construction financing,  mortgage loans,  loans for  fixed assets and
expansion  needs  and  other  commercial   loans.  The  services  provided   for
individuals  by Texas  State Bank  include checking  accounts, savings accounts,
certificates of  deposit,  individual  retirement  accounts  and  consumer  loan
programs,  including installment  loans for  home repairs  and for  purchases of
consumer  goods,  including  automobiles,  trucks  and  boats,  mortgage  loans,
travelers  checks, money orders and safe deposit facilities. Where the borrowing
needs of  a  customer exceed  the  lending limits  of  the Bank,  the  Bank  may
participate  with other banks in  the making of such  loan. The Bank also offers
trust services to commercial and individual customers. At December 31, 1995  and
1994,  total  trust assets  under  management by  Texas  State Bank  were $237.4
million and $192.4 million, respectively. On  a pro forma basis at December  31,
1995,  total trust assets under  management by Texas State  Bank would have been
$248.9 million.

    Due to its close proximity to Mexico, Texas State Bank has developed banking
relations with  depositors who  are  Mexican residents.  At December  31,  1995,
approximately  9.8% of the  total demand and  time deposits in  Texas State Bank
were deposited by or  on behalf of  residents of Mexico.  Many of the  Company's
Mexican   customers  are  long-term  customers  of  Texas  State  Bank  or  have
long-standing relationships  with senior  management. On  a pro  forma basis  at
December 31, 1995, approximately 14.4%

                                       10
<PAGE>
of  the combined total demand and time deposits in Texas State Bank, First State
Bank and Border Bank were deposited by or on behalf of residents of Mexico,  and
approximately  1.9% of the combined total loans of Texas State Bank, First State
Bank and Border Bank were secured by non-U.S. collateral, primarily real  estate
and  other assets located in Mexico. Management does not believe that the Bank's
profitability  is  dependent  on  business  from  Mexican  depositors  and  loan
customers.

    Texas  State Bank is a  member of the Federal Reserve  System, and acts as a
correspondent to  a  number  of  banks in  its  service  area,  providing  check
clearing,  wire transfer,  federal fund transactions,  loan participations, data
processing and other correspondent services.

    Texas State Bank's business  strategy is to provide  its customers with  the
financial  sophistication  and breadth  of products  of  a regional  bank, while
retaining the local appeal and level of service of a community bank.  Management
believes  that the Bank is  well positioned in its  market due to its responsive
customer  service,  the  strong  community  involvement  of  Texas  State   Bank
management  and employees,  recent trends in  the Texas  banking environment and
recent trends in the economy of the Rio Grande Valley. Management's strategy  is
to provide a business culture in which individual customers and small and medium
sized  businesses are accorded the highest priority in all aspects of the Bank's
operations. Management believes that individualized customer service will  allow
the Bank to increase its market share in lending volume and deposits. As part of
its  operating and growth strategies, the Bank intends to attract business from,
and provide  service  to, small  to  medium  sized businesses,  and  expand  its
operations in the Rio Grande Valley.

    Consistent  with the Company's  growth strategy, in  August 1995 Texas State
Bank acquired the Rio Grande  City and Roma branches  of First National Bank  of
South  Texas  (the "RGC/Roma  Branch Acquisitions").  In the  acquisition, Texas
State Bank  assumed  deposit liabilities  amounting  to an  aggregate  of  $79.7
million,  and acquired loans (net of  unearned discount) of $43.7 million, fixed
assets (after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments) of $1.6 million,
and other assets, including foreclosed properties, of $100,000. Texas State Bank
paid a net premium (after purchase  accounting adjustments) of $4.1 million  for
the  business, and the  difference of approximately $30.6  million was funded in
cash by First  National Bank of  South Texas. The  RGC/Roma Branch  Acquisitions
provided Texas State Bank with two banking locations in Starr County, Texas.

    Texas State Bank has for some time sought appropriate acquisitions to permit
the  Bank to expand within the market areas  served by Texas State Bank and into
adjacent market  areas. In  January 1996,  the Company  entered into  definitive
agreements  to acquire  through merger First  State Bank and  Border Bank. First
State Bank and  Border Bank had  combined total assets  of approximately  $524.0
million  at December 31, 1995, which, on a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995,
would have resulted in  Texas State Bank increasing  its total assets to  $1.143
billion, making Texas Regional the largest bank holding company headquartered in
the Rio Grande Valley. The purpose of the Mergers is to further strengthen Texas
State  Bank's branch network  and banking business  in the Rio  Grande Valley by
adding six  new banking  locations  in Mission,  Penitas, McAllen  and  Hidalgo,
Texas.  The purchase  price for  the Mergers is  estimated to  be $99.5 million,
approximately $40.0  million of  which will  be paid  from the  proceeds of  the
offering  made hereby. The Company intends  to fund the balance principally from
liquidation  of  cash  equivalents  and,  to  the  extent  necessary,   selected
investment  securities on a consolidated basis.  See "Proposed Mergers" and "Use
of Proceeds."

    The banking industry in the market area served by Texas State Bank is highly
competitive, with  competition from  other commercial  banks, savings  and  loan
associations, credit unions, mortgage banking companies, commercial and consumer
finance  companies, securities broker-dealers,  mutual fund companies, insurance
agents and companies and other  financial institutions, located both within  and
outside of the Rio Grande Valley.

    Texas  Regional is subject to regulation by the FRB, and Texas State Bank is
subject to regulation  by both the  Banking Department and  its primary  federal
regulator, the FRB. Such regulations are primarily

                                       11
<PAGE>
designed   for  protection  of  depositors  and  not  for  the  benefit  of  the
shareholders  of  financial  institutions.  See  "Business  --  Regulation   and
Supervision" and "Risk Factors -- Regulatory Restrictions and Requirements."

    At  December  31, 1995,  Texas Regional  employed  332 full  time equivalent
employees. On a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995, after giving consideration
to the  Mergers,  the Company  would  have  employed 467  full  time  equivalent
employees.  Substantially all  of the present  First State Bank  and Border Bank
officers and employees  are expected  to be employed  by Texas  State Bank.  The
address  of Texas Regional's  principal executive office  is Kerria Plaza, Suite
301, 3700 North 10th Street, McAllen,  Texas 78501, and its telephone number  is
(210) 631-5400.

                                PROPOSED MERGERS

GENERAL

    The Company, through its subsidiary Texas State Bank, has agreed to acquire,
through the Mergers, First State Bank and Border Bank. Management of Texas State
Bank  believes  that the  Mergers will  expand  the Company's  community banking
network into contiguous markets, substantially  increasing its market share  and
enabling  the Bank to compete more effectively with other financial institutions
in the Rio Grande Valley.  The new or expanded services  to be offered to  First
State  Bank and Border Bank customers include enhanced data processing services,
additional automated teller facilities and  other services now offered to  Texas
State  Bank customers.  Texas State  Bank management  believes that  First State
Bank, Border Bank and Texas State Bank customers will benefit from the expansion
of Texas State Bank's  branch network from nine  to 15 banking locations.  Texas
State  Bank expects to realize certain operating and administrative efficiencies
as  a  result  of   the  Mergers;  however,  because   of  the  relatively   low
employee-to-asset ratio at First State Bank and Border Bank, cost savings is not
a  principal motivating factor for the Mergers. The operating efficiencies which
are expected include  the use  by all banking  locations of  the existing  Texas
State  Bank  data processing  facility, operation  of  a single  human resources
department, and economies of a combined advertising program.

    The terms of the merger of First  State Bank are set forth in the  Agreement
and  Plan of Reorganization dated January 9, 1996,  as amended on              ,
1996, by and between the Company, Texas State Bank and First State Bank  ("First
State Bank Agreement"), and the terms of the merger of Border Bank are set forth
in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated January 9, 1996, as amended on
            ,  1996,  between  the Company,  Texas  State Bank  and  Border Bank
("Border Bank Agreement") (the  First State Bank Agreement  and the Border  Bank
Agreement  are collectively called the "Merger  Agreements," copies of which are
filed as  exhibits to  the Registration  Statement). Subject  to the  terms  and
conditions  of the Merger  Agreements, certain shareholders  of First State Bank
and Border Bank have joined into the Merger Agreements to evidence their consent
to the Mergers and their agreement to vote their shares in favor of the  Mergers
at  their respective shareholders meetings.  The Merger Agreements provide that,
at the time  of the closing  of the Mergers  (the "Closing"), the  net worth  of
First State Bank will not be less than $62.0 million and the net worth of Border
Bank  will not be less  than $17.3 million. Elliot B.  Bottom is the Chairman of
the Board  of  both  First State  Bank  and  Border Bank,  and  the  banks  have
substantial common ownership.

    First  State  Bank, the  principal office  of which  is located  in Mission,
Texas, was chartered in  1909, and Border Bank,  located in Hidalgo, Texas,  was
chartered  in 1968. Because of  the proximity of Mission  to McAllen, there is a
substantial overlap in the  markets served by Texas  State Bank and First  State
Bank. For this reason and because the banks serve a similar customer base, First
State  Bank  is  considered  by  Texas State  Bank  management  to  be  a direct
competitor of Texas State Bank, particular as to loan customers.

    All of  the offices  of First  State Bank  and Border  Bank are  located  in
Hidalgo  County, Texas, and  all such locations  are expected to  continue to be
operated by Texas  State Bank, under  the Texas State  Bank name, following  the
Mergers. Both First State Bank and Border Bank are full service community banks.
The products and services offered at these locations will be expanded to include
all products and services offered by Texas State Bank.

                                       12
<PAGE>
    Substantially  all of the current officers and employees of First State Bank
and Border Bank are expected  to be employed by  Texas State Bank following  the
Mergers.  Elliott Bottom,  the President  and Chief  Executive Officer  of First
State Bank,  will  become  President  of  Texas  State  Bank's  Mission  banking
locations,  with  principal  operating responsibility  for  the  Mission banking
locations, and Brent Bottom, the President of Border Bank, will become the Chief
Executive Officer of Texas  State Bank's Hidalgo  banking location. Texas  State
Bank  management believes that this continuity of management will provide for an
orderly transition and will minimize the loss of customer relationships.

    The Mergers are  subject to  a number  of conditions,  including receipt  of
approval  from applicable regulatory  authorities. Both the  FRB and the Banking
Department have approved the Mergers,  subject to certain conditions,  including
the  successful  completion  of the  offering  of  Common Stock  made  hereby to
partially fund the Mergers. FRB approval  was received on               ,  1996.
Applicable  regulations  require  a  waiting  period  following  receipt  of FRB
approval prior to  consummation of the  Mergers. Based on  a thirty-day  waiting
period, Texas State Bank will be able to consummate the Mergers on             ,
1996.  The Mergers have  also been approved  by the shareholders  of First State
Bank and Border Bank, as  required by law, at meetings  held on                ,
1996.

    Members  of senior  management of Texas  State Bank, and  Texas State Bank's
representatives, reviewed certain  information concerning First  State Bank  and
Border  Bank. This review included all loans  on the First State Bank and Border
Bank watch lists, a substantial proportion of the loans to borrowers with  other
large  lines of credit  and selected other  loans in each  bank's portfolio. The
Company's  examinations  were  made  using  criteria,  analyses  and  collateral
evaluations  that the Company  has traditionally used in  the ordinary course of
its business.

    First State Bank  and Border  Bank have each  entered into  a Memorandum  of
Understanding  with the  Banking Department, pursuant  to which  each bank among
other things,  agrees  to  (i)  develop and  follow  policies  related  to  loan
documentation  and review, (ii)  increase (and continue  monitoring the adequacy
of) each  bank's  loan  valuation  reserve, and  (iii)  review  of  each  bank's
investment  and  funds  management  policies.  The  Banking  Department reviewed
compliance with the First State Bank  Memorandum of Understanding as part of  an
examination  of  First State  Bank, and  the FDIC  reviewed compliance  with the
Border Bank Memorandum  of Understanding  as part  of an  examination of  Border
Bank.  The  regulatory  authorities  in  each  case  concluded  that  there were
deficiencies in  compliance with  the Memorandum  applicable to  each Bank,  and
required  that First State  Bank and Border Bank  management further address the
deficiencies identified  in the  Memoranda. Prior  to entering  into the  Merger
Agreements,  First  State Bank  and Border  Bank  began to  implement additional
correction efforts,  including  retaining an  outside  consultant to  assist  in
documentation  and policy  reviews for First  State Bank and  Border Bank. Texas
State Bank management  believes that  the implementation of  Texas State  Bank's
policies  and procedures,  and the  application of  Texas State  Bank's internal
controls, make it unlikely that the deficiencies identified in the Memoranda  of
Understanding  will be  repeated, although  there can  be no  certainty that all
deficiencies will  be adequately  addressed to  the satisfaction  of  applicable
regulatory   authorities.  If  the  problems   addressed  in  the  Memoranda  of
Understanding persist, they could adversely affect the future operations of  the
Company.   See  "Risk  Factors  --  Risks  of  the  Mergers  --  Compliance  and
Management."

    Following the Mergers, (i) all  lending at the facilities formerly  operated
by  First State Bank and  Border Bank will be  conducted pursuant to Texas State
Bank's policies and under  the supervision of Texas  State Bank's Chief  Lending
Officer,  Frank A. Kavanagh,  (ii) investments in securities  will be managed by
the investment  division of  Texas State  Bank in  accordance with  Texas  State
Bank's  investment policies and (iii) following conversion (which is expected by
Texas Regional management  to occur in  fall 1996) all  data processing will  be
performed by Texas State Bank's data processing center. In general, the policies
and  procedures  for  all  banking locations,  including  the  banking locations
formerly operated as First State Bank and Border Bank facilities, will be  Texas
State  Bank's policies and procedures.  Nonperforming assets and loans presently
past due on the books of First State Bank and Border Bank have been reviewed  by
or on behalf of Texas State Bank and those loans which, in the judgment of Texas
State  Bank, represent probable losses  will be recorded at  zero at the time of
consummation of the

                                       13
<PAGE>
Mergers, although  Texas  State  Bank  will  nonetheless  pursue  collection  in
appropriate  circumstances. At December 31, 1995,  the allowance for loan losses
at First  State Bank  was $4.2  million or  52.4% of  nonperforming assets  plus
accruing loans 90 days or more past due. At December 31, 1995, the allowance for
loan  losses at Border  Bank was $1.1  million or 72.5%  of nonperforming assets
plus accruing loans 90 days or more past due.

THE MERGER AGREEMENTS

    The information  contained in  this Prospectus  with respect  to the  Merger
Agreements  is a  summary of the  material provisions of  the Merger Agreements,
and, as  such,  is  qualified  in  its  entirety  by  reference  to  the  Merger
Agreements, which are exhibits to the Registration Statement.

    The  Merger Agreements provide for the merger of First State Bank and Border
Bank with and into Texas State Bank. Each of the Mergers is conditioned upon the
closing of the  other. The  total consideration  payable pursuant  to the  First
State  Bank  Agreement is  $79.0 million,  and  the total  consideration payable
pursuant to the Border Bank Agreement is $20.5 million, in each case payable  in
cash  and  in  each  case  subject to  adjustment  for  amounts  attributable to
shareholders of First State  Bank and Border  Bank exercising their  dissenters'
rights  of appraisal. [Shareholders holding           shares of First State Bank
and            shares of Border Bank  have properly exercised their  dissenter's
rights,  which entitle them to  be paid the fair value  of their shares by Texas
State Bank, as determined in accordance  with the statutory procedure.] Each  of
the  Merger Agreements provides that the  Mergers will terminate at the election
of either party in the event that the Mergers have not been consummated prior to
June 30, 1996.

    Pending the Closing, First State Bank and Border Bank have agreed to certain
operating limitations and requirements, including an obligation to operate their
businesses in  accordance  with  reasonably prudent  banking  practices  and  in
substantially  the same  manner as  conducted prior  to the  date of  the Merger
Agreements. If either of the Mergers is not consummated as a result of either  a
default  by Texas State Bank  or the failure of  certain conditions precedent to
Texas State Bank's obligation to close the Mergers, Texas State Bank has  agreed
to pay a $65,000 termination fee to each of First State Bank and Border Bank.

    The  consummation  of  the Mergers  is  subject  to a  number  of conditions
precedent, including that shareholders holding no more than an aggregate of 2.5%
of the issued and outstanding shares shall have exercised dissenters' rights  of
appraisal,  that regulatory approvals shall have been obtained and not contested
in a formal proceeding, that there shall not be litigation pending or threatened
which might result in  action to restrain, enjoin,  or prohibit consummation  of
the  Mergers, and that each party  shall have received certain fairness opinions
in form and content acceptable to that party. Texas State Bank's obligations are
further conditioned  on there  having been  no material  adverse change  in  the
condition,  financial  position or  business prospects  of  First State  Bank or
Border Bank and  that each  will have  terminated its  existing data  processing
services  contract on terms and conditions  reasonably acceptable to Texas State
Bank. Texas State Bank has reserved the right to waive any applicable  condition
to Closing in circumstances deemed appropriate by Texas State Bank management.

    One  of the  conditions to Texas  State Bank's obligation  to consummate the
First State Bank Agreement is that First State  Bank have a net worth as of  the
date of Closing of not less than $62.0 million. Similarly, one of the conditions
to Texas State Bank's obligation to consummate the Border Bank Agreement is that
Border  Bank have a net worth  as of the date of  Closing of not less than $17.3
million. Other than a dividend of $500,000 paid by Border Bank in January  1996,
each  of the Merger Agreements prohibits payment of dividends to shareholders of
First State Bank and Border Bank pending Closing.

    Pursuant to each of the Merger  Agreements, Elliott Bottom, the Chairman  of
the  Board and Chief Executive  Officer of First State  Bank and the Chairman of
the Board of Border  Bank, has agreed  not to engage (except  as an employee  of
Texas  State Bank) in the commercial banking business in Hidalgo, Cameron, Starr
or Willacy Counties, Texas, for  a period of three  years following the date  of
Closing, except that such obligation shall terminate in the event of a change of
control of a majority of the

                                       14
<PAGE>
outstanding  capital stock of either Texas State  Bank or the Company. As of the
date of Closing,  Elliott Bottom  will become  President of  Texas State  Bank's
Mission  banking locations. His son, Brent Bottom, the President of Border Bank,
will become the Chief  Executive Officer of Texas  State Bank's Hidalgo  banking
location.

    The  terms  of the  Mergers were  established  in arms'  length negotiations
conducted by  representatives of  Texas State  Bank, and  First State  Bank  and
Border  Bank. In approving the Mergers and  the amounts of the purchase price to
be paid, the  Board of  Directors of  Texas State  Bank considered  a number  of
factors,  including:  (i)  First  State  Bank's  and  Border  Bank's  historical
financial condition, including shareholders'  equity and results of  operations;
(ii)  First State Bank's  and Border Bank's  business, prospects, management and
employees; (iii) current economic and market conditions; (iv) the likelihood  of
completing  a  transaction  with  one  or  more  other  banking  institutions on
comparable  or   more  favorable   terms  (although   no  specific   alternative
transactions  were identified); and (v) the  prospects for growth of Texas State
Bank assuming the  Mergers are  completed. The  Board of  Directors attached  no
specific  relative weights  to these factors  in reaching  its determination. In
addition, the Company has received an  opinion of First Southwest Company as  to
the  fairness  of  the transaction,  from  a  financial point  of  view,  to the
shareholders of the Company. Given the historically strong growth rate for Texas
State Bank and the increasing population in its market area, management believes
that Texas  State  Bank's  prospects  for  growth  in  the  future  are  strong,
notwithstanding whether or not the Mergers are consummated.

    It  is anticipated  that the  Mergers, which  are effective  upon filing and
acceptance of  a Certificate  of Merger  with the  Banking Department,  will  be
consummated  contemporaneously with the closing and  funding of the net proceeds
of the offering herein described.

                PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

    Since the public  offering of  the Common Stock  in March  1994, the  Common
Stock  has traded in the Nasdaq National  Market System under the symbol "TRBS."
The following  table shows  (i)  high and  low prices  of  the Common  Stock  as
reported  in the Summary of Activity provided to the Company by The Nasdaq Stock
Market for transactions occurring  on the Nasdaq  National Market System  during
the  past  two years,  and  (ii) the  total number  of  shares involved  in such
transactions. In addition, with respect to periods prior to March 16, 1994,  the
information  is based upon transactions with  respect to which the management of
Texas Regional  had  knowledge of  the  transaction price,  since  during  those
periods  transactions were  reported on  an informal  basis, and  no independent
verification of the transaction prices was made. Therefore, during periods prior
to March 16, 1994, the  prices reported may not be  indicative of the actual  or
market value of the Common Stock.

    During  the two years ended December 31, 1995, an aggregate of 58,500 shares
purchased by the KSOP  are included in the  foregoing table. See "Management  --

    On                 ,  1996, the last trading  day prior to  the date of this
Prospectus, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock as reported on  the
Nasdaq  National Market System was $     per share.  On January 9, 1996, the day
prior to the public announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreements,  the
last  reported sale price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market System was $17.00 per share.

    The Company  paid no  dividends on  its  Common Stock  prior to  June  1994.
Beginning in June 1994, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share
of  its Common Stock. During 1995,  the Company increased its quarterly dividend
to $0.10 per share, and  currently intends to continue  to pay such dividend  in
the  foreseeable future. On             , 1996, the Company's Board of Directors
declared a dividend of $0.10 per  share of Common Stock payable to  shareholders
of record as of             , 1996.

    The  final determination of  the timing, amount and  payment of dividends on
the Common Stock is at  the discretion of the  Company's Board of Directors  and
will   depend   on  conditions   then   existing,  including   Texas  Regional's
profitability, liquidity, financial  condition, capital  requirements and  other
relevant  factors, including regulatory restrictions  applicable to the Company.
The Company's principal source of the funds to pay dividends on the Common Stock
is dividends from Texas State Bank. The payment of dividends by Texas State Bank
is subject to certain  restrictions imposed by federal  and state banking  laws,
regulations  and authorities. At December 31, 1995, an aggregate of $8.7 million
was available for  payment of dividends  by the  Bank to the  Company under  the
applicable  limitations  and  without  regulatory  approval.  See  "Business  --
Regulation and Supervision."

               PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The following  unaudited  pro  forma combined  condensed  balance  sheet  at
December  31, 1995, and pro forma combined condensed statement of income for the
year ended December 31, 1995, combine the historical consolidated balance  sheet
of  the Company and the historical balance sheets of First State Bank and Border
Bank at December 31, 1995, as if the Mergers had been effective on December  31,
1995.  The Mergers  are accounted for  under the purchase  method of accounting,
after giving effect to  the pro forma adjustments  and assumptions described  in
the  accompanying notes. Under  this method of accounting,  which is required by
generally accepted accounting principles, assets and liabilities of First  State
Bank  and  Border  Bank are  adjusted  to  their fair  values  (as  estimated by
management of the Company) and combined  with the recorded values of the  assets
and  liabilities of  the Company.  This pro  forma combined  condensed financial
information should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial  information
appearing under "Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. Selected Consolidated Financial
Information"  and the  consolidated financial  statements of  the Company, First
State Bank and Border Bank, including  the notes thereto, included elsewhere  in
this Prospectus. See "Index to Financial Statements."

    The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of income for
the  year ended December  31, 1995 assumes  the Mergers and  the RGC/Roma Branch
Acquisitions occurred January 1, 1995. Intangibles arising from the Mergers  and
the  RGC/Roma  Branch  Acquisitions  are approximately  $21.6  million  and $4.1
million, respectively. The pro forma adjustments reflect the amortization of the
core deposit premium over a 10-year  period, the fixed maturity deposit  premium
over a 3-year period and the goodwill intangible over a 15-year period.

    The  pro forma combined  condensed financial information  is not intended to
present the results that would have actually occurred if the Mergers had been in
effect on the assumed dates and for  the assumed periods. These results are  not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be obtained in the future.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The  following  discussion  provides  additional  information  regarding the
financial condition and the  results of operations for  the Company for each  of
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the
notes  thereto  appearing  elsewhere  in this  Prospectus.  See  "Texas Regional
Bancshares,  Inc.  Pro  Forma  Combined  Condensed  Financial  Information"  for
additional  information regarding the effects on  the Company of consummation of
the Mergers.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $8.7 million, reflecting
a net increase of  $1.5 million or  a 21.4% increase compared  to net income  of
$7.2  million for the  year ended December  31, 1994. The  earnings per share of
$1.40 for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased $0.24 or 20.7% compared  to
the  earnings per share of $1.16 for  the year ended December 31, 1994. Earnings
performance for the year ended December 31, 1995 reflected gains in net interest
income and  an  increase in  noninterest  income. These  positive  factors  were
partially  offset by  an increase in  provision for loan  losses and noninterest
expenses. A more detailed description of  the results of operations is  included
in the material that follows.

    During   August  1995,  Texas  State  Bank  completed  the  RGC/Roma  Branch
Acquisitions which  included the  purchase of  $43.7 million  in loans  and  the
assumption  of  approximately  $79.7  million in  deposit  liabilities  of these
banking locations. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase;  therefore,
the  results of  operations of  the two  banking locations  are included  in the
consolidated financial statements of the  Company from the date of  acquisition.
Purchase  accounting adjustments for the purchase of loans and the assumption of
deposit liabilities of these banking locations were immaterial.

    On March 31, 1992,  the Company acquired, through  merger, Mid Valley  Bank,
Weslaco, Texas. Simultaneously with the acquisition of Mid Valley Bank, both the
surviving  bank in that merger transaction  and Harlingen State Bank, Harlingen,
Texas, a subsidiary of the  Company, merged with and  into Texas State Bank  and
the  former Weslaco and Harlingen banks  became banking locations of Texas State
Bank. The Mid Valley Bank merger was accounted for under the purchase method  of
accounting.  Accordingly, certain income statement and balance sheet comparisons
during calendar 1991 and 1992 and  at year-end 1991 and 1992, respectively,  may
not be appropriate.

                       ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net  interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and
interest expense incurred  for the  funds supporting those  assets. The  largest
category  of earning  assets consists of  loans. The second  largest category of
earning assets is  investment securities,  followed by federal  funds sold.  For
analytical  purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily securities issued
by state and local governments or authorities, is adjusted by an increment which
equates tax-exempt income to interest from taxable assets.

    Earning  assets  are  financed  by  consumer  and  commercial  deposits  and
short-term  borrowings. In addition to these interest-bearing funds, assets also
are  supported   by  interest-free   funds,   primarily  demand   deposits   and
shareholders'   equity.  Variations  in  the  volume   and  mix  of  assets  and
liabilities,  and  their  relative  sensitivity  to  interest  rate   movements,
determine changes in net interest income.

    Taxable-equivalent  net interest income was $27.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, an  increase of $4.7  million or 20.3%  compared to the  year
ended  December 31,  1994, and taxable-equivalent  net interest  income of $23.1
million for the year  ended December 31, 1994,  increased $3.7 million or  19.3%
compared  to the year ended December 31,  1993. Both net interest income and the
yield on earning  assets were  reduced by  interest foregone  on nonaccrual  and
renegotiated loans. If interest on

                                       23
<PAGE>
those  loans  had been  accrued at  the  original contractual  rates, additional
interest income would have approximated $247,000, $476,000, and $149,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

    The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as interest
rate margin, represents net interest income divided by average  interest-earning
assets.  Since a  significant portion of  the Company's funding  is derived from
interest-free sources, primarily demand  deposits and shareholders' equity,  the
effective   rate  paid  for   all  funds  is   lower  than  the   rate  paid  on
interest-bearing liabilities  alone. As  the  following table  illustrates,  the
interest  rate margin of 5.33% for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased 21
basis points compared to 5.12%  for the year ended  December 31, 1994 while  the
interest  rate margin of 5.12% for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased 28
basis points compared to 4.84% for the year ended December 31, 1993.

    The increase in  the interest rate  margin for the  year ended December  31,
1995  is reflective of the shift in  the mix of interest-earning assets to loans
from lower yielding investment securities,  including federal funds sold,  which
contributed  to an increase in yield on interest-earning assets during the year.
The mix of interest-earning assets was changed by total average loans of  $370.3
million  increasing $61.2 million or  19.8%, total average investment securities
of $131.0 million increasing $967,000 or 0.7% and average federal funds sold  of
$19.8  million  increasing $8.3  million or  72.4%. The  increase in  loan yield
reflects the general  increase in  average interest  rates in  1995 compared  to
1994.  The increase in investment securities  yield resulted from lower yielding
investment securities maturing and the  reinvesting of the proceeds into  higher
yields.  The increase in interest on deposits during the year ended December 31,
1995 resulted primarily from increased volume  and the higher average rate  paid
compared to the previous year.

    The  following table  presents for the  last three calendar  years the total
dollar amount of interest  income from average  interest-earning assets and  the
resultant yields, as well as the average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed
both  in  dollars and  rates. Average  balances are  derived from  average daily
balances and the yields and costs are established by dividing income or  expense
by  the  average  balance  of  the  asset  or  liability.  Income  and  yield on
interest-earning assets  include  amounts  to convert  tax-exempt  income  to  a
taxable-equivalent basis, assuming a 34% effective income tax rate.

    The following table  presents the  effects of  changes in  volume, rate  and
rate/volume  on interest  income and  interest expense  for major  categories of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities. Nonaccrual loans  are
included  in assets, thereby  reducing yields (see  "Nonperforming Assets"). The
allocation of the rate/volume variance has been made pro-rata on the  percentage
that volume and rate variances produce in each category.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1995 was  $1.7
million,  an increase of  $600,000 or 55.3%  from the $1.1  million for the year
ended December  31, 1994.  The provision  for  loan losses  for the  year  ended
December  31, 1994 of  $1.1 million reflects  an increase of  $693,000 or 176.8%
from the $392,000  provision for  loan losses for  the year  ended December  31,
1993.  Provisions for  loan losses  are charged to  earnings to  bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a  level deemed appropriate by management based  on
such  factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted
by the  Company,  the  amount  of  nonperforming  assets,  regulatory  policies,
generally   accepted   accounting  principles,   general   economic  conditions,
particularly as they  relate to the  Company's lending area,  and other  factors
related  to the collectibility of the  Company's loan portfolio. The increase in
the provision for the  year ended December 31,  1995, compared to the  provision
for  the year ended December 31, 1994, was primarily attributable to loan growth
of $110.9 million and net charge-offs  of $1.1 million. See "Allowance for  Loan
Losses."

    In  January  1995, the  Company  adopted Statement  of  Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 ("Statement 114"), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment  of
a  Loan", and the amendment thereof, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 118  ("Statement  118"),  "Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of  a
Loan-Income  Recognition and Disclosures". In management's opinion, the adoption
of Statement  114 and  Statement  118 did  not have  a  material effect  on  the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

NONINTEREST INCOME

    Noninterest  income of  $6.5 million  for the  year ended  December 31, 1995
increased $746,000 or 12.9% compared to $5.8 million for the year ended December
31, 1994, and noninterest income of $5.8 million for the year ended December 31,
1994 increased $740,000  or 14.7% compared  to $5.0 million  for the year  ended
December  31, 1993. All  categories of noninterest  income, except Other Service
Charges and  Net  Investment  Securities  Gains (Losses),  for  the  year  ended
December  31, 1995, increased when compared to the year ended December 31, 1994.
Total Service  Charges of  $4.3 million  for the  year ended  December 31,  1995
increased  $392,000 or 10.0% compared  to the year ended  December 31, 1994, and
Total Service Charges  of $3.9  million for the  year ended  December 31,  1994,
increased  $646,000 or 19.6% compared  to the year ended  December 31, 1993. The
increase in Total Service  Charges for the years  ended December 31, 1995,  1994
and  1993  is attributable  to increased  account transaction  fees as  a result

                                       27
<PAGE>
of the deposit growth experienced by  the Company. The decline in Other  Service
Charges for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended December
31,  1994 was primarily attributable to  a decrease in foreign currency exchange
fees. The recent events in Mexico, primarily the peso devaluation, have resulted
in a decrease in volume and spread on peso exchange fee activity.

    Trust Service Fees  of $1.3  million for the  year ended  December 31,  1995
increased  $95,000 or 8.2% compared to $1.2  million for the year ended December
31, 1994, and Trust Service Fees of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31,
1994 increased  $74,000 or  6.8% compared  to $1.1  million for  the year  ended
December  31, 1993. The increase in Trust Service Fees in each of years 1995 and
1994 is attributable to increases in both  the number of trust accounts and  the
book  value of assets managed. The book  value of assets managed at December 31,
1995 and 1994 was $237.4 million  and $192.4 million, respectively. Assets  held
by  the trust department of  the Bank in fiduciary  or agency capacities are not
assets of the Company and are not included in the consolidated balance sheets.

    Net Investment Securities Gains (Losses)  was ($111,000) for the year  ended
December  31, 1995, compared to  an $8,000 gain for  the year ended December 31,
1994. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $99,000 loss recorded on  the
sale of two bonds.

    Other  operating income  of $601,000  for the  year ended  December 31, 1995
increased $192,000 or 46.9% compared to $409,000 for the year ended December 31,
1994 and other operating income of $409,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994
increased $27,000 or 7.1% compared to year ended December 31, 1993.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Noninterest  expense of $19.0  million for the year  ended December 31, 1995
increased $2.5 million  or 15.0% compared  to $16.5 million  for the year  ended
December  31, 1994, and noninterest expense of  $16.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994 increased  $2.0 million or 13.7%  compared with $14.5  million
for  the  year ended  December 31,  1993.  These increases  for the  years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were  primarily attributable to the increased  volume
of business conducted by the Company.

    The  largest category of noninterest expense, Salaries and Employee Benefits
("Personnel"), of $9.6 million for the  year ended December 31, 1995,  increased
$1.5  million or 19.3% compared  to year ended December  31, 1994 levels of $8.0
million. Personnel expense of $8.0 million for the year ended December 31,  1994
increased  $217,000 or 2.8% compared  to year ended December  31, 1993 levels of
$7.8

                                       28

million. Personnel  expense  increased for  the  year ended  December  31,  1995
primarily  due to staffing increases, including the additional staff acquired as
a result of the  RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions, and  increases in payroll  taxes,
medical insurance premiums and pension expenses for all employees.

    Net  occupancy expense of $1.1 million for  the year ended December 31, 1995
increased $108,000 or 11.2% compared to $961,000 for the year ended December 31,
1994, and net occupancy expense of $961,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994
increased $141,000 or 17.2% when compared to a net occupancy expense of $820,000
for the year ended December 31, 1993.  The increase for the year ended  December
31, 1995 is primarily attributable to the occupancy expenses associated with the
RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions.

    Equipment  expense  of $2.0  million for  the year  ended December  31, 1995
increased $380,000 or 23.1% compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December
31, 1994 and equipment expense of $1.6  million for the year ended December  31,
1994  increased $282,000 or 20.6%  when compared with $1.4  million for the year
ended December 31, 1993.  The equipment expense increase  noted during the  year
ended  December 31, 1995 is primarily  attributable to equipment obtained in the
RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions  and equipment  acquired to  service the  Company's
increasing customer base.

    Other Real Estate (Income) Expense, Net includes rent income from foreclosed
properties,  gain or  loss on  sale of other  real estate  properties and direct
expenses of foreclosed real estate  including property taxes, maintenance  costs
and write-downs. Write-downs of other real estate are required if the fair value
of  an  asset acquired  in a  loan foreclosure  subsequently declines  below its
carrying value. Other Real Estate (Income) Expense, Net of $107,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 increased $32,000 or 42.7% when compared to $75,000  net
expense  for  the  year ended  December  31,  1994. Other  Real  Estate (Income)
Expense, Net  of  $75,000 net  expense  for the  year  ended December  31,  1994
decreased  $403,000 or 122.9% compared to $328,000 net income for the year ended
December 31, 1993. The increased expense during the year ended December 31, 1995
is primarily attributable to commissions paid on new lease agreements on  rental
property  included in Other  Real Estate. Management  is actively seeking buyers
for all Other Real Estate and is of the opinion that the carrying value of Other
Real Estate approximates its estimated fair value less estimated closing costs.

    Advertising and  Public Relations  expense of  $772,000 for  the year  ended
December  31, 1995 increased $79,000 or 11.4%  compared to $693,000 for the year
ended December  31,  1994. The  increase  in advertising  and  public  relations
expense  is primarily  attributable to  a new  marketing program  and additional
advertising in the service area acquired in the RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions.

    FDIC insurance of $540,000 for the  year ended December 31, 1995,  decreased
$433,000  or 44.5% compared to $973,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 due
to a rebate and a premium rate reduction.  On August 8, 1995, the FDIC Board  of
Directors voted to reduce the deposit insurance premiums paid by most members of
the Bank Insurance Fund, effective as of June 1, 1995. As a result, the overpaid
assessments  for the period June 1 to  September 30, 1995 and interest (totaling
$297,000) were refunded on September 15, 1995. The Company continues to  receive
the  most favorable risk  classification for purposes  of determining the annual
deposit insurance assessment rate, although there  can be no assurance that  the
Company will continue in the most favorable risk classification in the future.

    The  increase  in Other  Losses  represents additional  losses  sustained on
overdraft accounts and the costs of settlement during the period ending December
31, 1995 of certain litigation.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

    In  December 1990, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards  No.  106  ("Statement   106"),
"Employers'  Accounting for Postretirement Benefits  Other Than Pensions", which
is effective for fiscal years beginning  after December 15, 1992. Statement  106
requires  companies  that  have  postretirement  benefit  plans  to  accrue  the
estimated cost of  providing those benefits  to an employee  and the  employee's
beneficiaries  and covered  dependents. The  Company does  not presently provide
postretirement benefits other  than the  KSOP Plan,  which is  available to  all
eligible  employees,  and  a  nonqualified deferred  compensation  plan  for the
benefit of Glen E. Roney, Chairman  of the Board, President and Chief  Executive
Officer.

INCOME TAX

    The  Company recorded income tax expense of  $4.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 compared to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1994.
The increase in income tax expense for  the year ended December 31, 1995 is  due
primarily  to an increased level of pretax income during the year ended December
31, 1995.

                                       30

    The Texas franchise tax is based in  part on capital and in part on  federal
taxable  income with certain modifications.  A portion of the  tax is accrued in
the year in which the income to which it relates is earned, even though the  tax
constitutes a fee for the privilege of doing business in a succeeding period and
is  payable in that period. The Company  recorded Texas franchise tax expense of
$217,000, $207,000 and $149,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994  and
1993, respectively.

NET INCOME

    Net  income was $8.7  million, $7.2 million  and $6.0 million  for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

                        ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

BALANCE SHEET COMPOSITION

    The Company continues  to experience  growth in total  assets, deposits  and
loans  attributable in the opinion of management, in part to the vitality of the
Rio Grande Valley economy and in part to the RGC/ Roma Branch Acquisitions.  The
recent  devaluation of the Mexican peso relative  to the U.S. dollar has reduced
retail sales  to  Mexican nationals.  However,  the  effects of  NAFTA  and  the
devaluation  have also  increased cross-border trade  and industrial development
including activity at  twin manufacturing  plants located  on each  side of  the
border  (referred  to  as  maquiladoras) which  benefit  the  Rio  Grande Valley
economy. Management does not believe that the recent Mexican financial  problems
will materially adversely affect the Company's growth and earnings prospects.

    Average interest-earning assets of $521.1 million increased $70.5 million or
15.7%  for the year ended  December 31, 1995 compared  to $450.6 million for the
year ended December  31, 1994  and $51.3  million or  12.8% for  the year  ended
December  31, 1994 compared  to $399.3 million  for the year  ended December 31,
1993. Management's  continued focus  on lending  has resulted  in average  loans
increasing  $61.2 million or 19.8% to $370.3 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 compared to December 31,  1994 levels of $309.0 million, while  average
investment  securities of $131.0 million increased $967,000 or 0.7% for the year
ended December 31, 1995 compared to December 31, 1994 levels of $130.0  million.
Total  average assets increased $73.7 million or 14.6% to $577.9 million for the
year ended December  31, 1995  compared to December  31, 1994  levels and  $56.1
million or 12.5% to $504.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 compared
to December 31, 1993 levels of $448.1 million.

    Average interest-bearing deposits increased $54.3 million or 15.3% to $409.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended December
31,  1994 levels of $355.2 million. Demand deposits also increased $10.0 million
or 10.7% for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $103.8 million compared to  the
year  ended December 31, 1994  levels of $93.8 million  partially as a result of
the increase in public funds  from several local municipalities and  independent
school  districts. The Company has a  stable noninterest-bearing source of funds
as reflected in the ratio of  average demand deposits to average total  deposits
for  years ended December  31, 1995, 1994  and 1993 of  20.2%, 20.9%, and 20.6%,
respectively.

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

    Texas State Bank, through its nine  banking locations, offers a broad  range
of  commercial banking  services to  individuals and  businesses in  its service
area. Texas State Bank also acts as a correspondent to a number of banks in  its
service   area,  providing   check  clearing,   wire  transfer,   federal  funds
transactions, loan  participations,  data  processing  and  other  correspondent
services.  The  amount  of cash  and  due from  banks  held  on any  one  day is
significantly influenced  by  temporary changes  in  cash items  in  process  of
collection.  At December 31,  1995, cash and  due from banks  was $30.9 million,
$9.5 million less than at December 31, 1994.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 ("Statement 115"), "Accounting  for Certain Investments  in Debt and  Equity
Securities". Statement 115 established

                                       32
<PAGE>
standards  of  financial  accounting  and reporting  for  investments  in equity
securities that have a readily determinable  fair value and for all  investments
in  debt securities. At acquisition,  the Bank is required  to classify debt and
equity securities into  one of three  categories: Held to  Maturity, Trading  or
Available  for  Sale.  At  each  reporting  date,  the  appropriateness  of  the
classification is reassessed. Investments in  debt securities are classified  as
Held  to Maturity  and measured  at amortized  cost in  the consolidated balance
sheet only  if management  has the  positive intent  and ability  to hold  those
securities  to maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as Trading and  measured
at  fair value in  the consolidated balance sheet  with unrealized holding gains
and losses included in  earnings. Investments not classified  as either Held  to
Maturity  or Trading are classified  as Available for Sale  and measured at fair
value in the consolidated balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses
reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized.

    Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 115, which caused
various investment  securities  to be  reclassified  from Held  to  Maturity  to
Available  for Sale. All treasury and agency  bonds with a maturity of two years
or less from December  31, 1993, all  floating rate bonds  and two small  equity
securities  were  reclassified to  Available for  Sale. During  1994, management
continued classifying bonds purchased with a final maturity of two years or less
as Available for Sale.  During 1995, management  has classified bonds  purchased
with  a final maturity of  three years or less as  Available for Sale. All other
bonds have been classified as Held  to Maturity. Future purchases of  investment
securities  will be classified as Available for Sale or Held to Maturity at time
of purchase as determined by the investment committee.

    On October 18, 1995, the  FASB decided to grant  to all entities a  one-time
opportunity  during  the period  from approximately  the  middle of  November to
December 31, 1995,  to reconsider their  intent and ability  to hold  securities
accounted  for as Held to Maturity under Statement 115. This opportunity allowed
entities to transfer securities from the Held to Maturity category to  Available
for  Sale or Trading  without calling into  question their intent  to hold other
debt securities  to  maturity.  On  December  31,  1995,  the  Bank  transferred
approximately  $1.5 million in Held to  Maturity securities to the Available for
Sale category resulting  in no change  to shareholders' equity  per share. As  a
result  of this transfer,  all Other Securities are  classified as Available for
Sale.

    At December  31, 1995,  1994  and 1993,  no  securities were  classified  as
Trading.

for Sale at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993:

LOANS

    The Company  manages  its  credit  risk  by  establishing  and  implementing
strategies  and  guidelines  appropriate to  the  characteristics  of borrowers,
industries, geographic locations  and products. Diversification  of risk  within
each  of  these  areas  is  a primary  objective.  Policies  and  procedures are
developed to  ensure that  loan commitments  conform to  current strategies  and
guidelines.  Management continues  to refine  the Company's  credit policies and
procedures to address the risks in  the current and prospective environment  and
to   reflect  management's  current  strategic  focus.  The  credit  process  is
controlled with continuous credit review and analysis, and by review by internal
and external auditors and regulatory authorities. The Company's loans are widely
diversified by borrower and industry group.

    The Company has collateral management  policies in place so that  collateral
lending  of  all  types  is  approached, to  the  extent  possible,  on  a basis
consistent with safe and sound standards. Valuation analysis is utilized to take
into consideration  the  potentially  adverse economic  conditions  under  which
liquidation  could  occur.  Collateral  accepted  against  the  commercial  loan
portfolio includes  accounts receivable  and inventory,  marketable  securities,
equipment  and agricultural products. Autos, deeds  of trust, life insurance and
marketable securities  are  accepted  as collateral  for  the  installment  loan
portfolio.

    Management  of the  Company believes  that the  Company has  benefitted from
increased loan demand due to passage  of NAFTA and the strong population  growth
in  the Rio Grande  Valley. More recently,  the devaluation of  the Mexican peso
relative to the  U.S. dollar has  reduced retail sales  to residents of  Mexico.
However,   the  effects  of  NAFTA  and  the  devaluation  have  also  increased
cross-border  trade  and  industrial  development  including  activity  at  twin
manufacturing  plants  located  on  each  side of  the  border  (referred  to as
maquiladoras) which benefit the Rio  Grande Valley economy. Management  believes
the  current Mexican financial problems will  not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's growth and earnings prospects.

    Total loans of $450.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased
$110.9 million or 32.6% compared to the  year ended December 31, 1994 levels  of
$339.9  million and increased $49.4 million or 17.0% for the year ended December
31, 1994 compared to levels of $290.5 million at

                                       35
<PAGE>
December 31, 1993. The increase in total  loans for the year ended December  31,
1995  is primarily attributable  to the RGC/Roma  Branch Acquisitions, funding a
large leveraged employee  stock ownership trust  loan (hereafter described)  and
management's efforts to improve the earnings mix of earning assets by increasing
loan  volume. The  increase in Commercial  loans in  general, and Commercial-Tax
Exempt loans in particular, for the  year ended December 31, 1995 was  primarily
attributable  to the funding  of a $34.0 million  employee stock ownership trust
loan  which  is  collateralized  by  stock  and  assets  of  the  employer   and
approximately  $27.5 million of cash and  cash equivalent assets. Excluding this
loan, Total Commercial  Loans at December  31, 1995 represented  an increase  of
$10.6  million, or  10.4%, compared  to levels at  December 31,  1994, and Total
Loans at December 31, 1995 represented  an increase of $76.9 million, or  22.6%,
compared  to levels at December 31, 1994.  A substantial portion of the increase
in loans classified as Real  Estate-Commercial Mortgage loans consists of  loans
secured by real estate and other assets to commercial customers. The increase in
total  loans  for the  year  ended December  31, 1992  is  primarily due  to the
acquisition of Mid Valley Bank. The following table presents the composition  of
the loan portfolio at the end of each of the last five years:

</TABLE>

    As  shown in  the preceding  table, loans  maturing within  one year totaled
$176.5 million at year-end 1995. The Company's policy on maturity extensions and
rollovers is based on management's assessment of individual loans. Approvals for
the extension or renewal of loans  without reduction of principal for more  than
one  twelve-month  period  are generally  avoided,  unless the  loans  are fully
secured or are revolving lines subject to annual analysis and renewal.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

    The Bank  has several  procedures  in place  to  assist in  maintaining  the
overall  quality of  its loan portfolio.  The Bank  has established underwriting
guidelines to be followed  by its officers and  monitors its delinquency  levels
for  any negative or adverse trends,  particularly with respect to credits which
have total exposures of $10,000 or more.

    Nonperforming assets  consist  of  nonaccrual loans,  loans  for  which  the
interest  rate has been renegotiated below  originally contracted rates and real
estate or other assets that have  been acquired in partial or full  satisfaction
of  loan obligations. At December 31, 1995, five loan relationships in excess of
$100,000 totaling  $1.6 million  accounted  for 76.1%  of the  total  nonaccrual
loans.  These five nonaccrual credits are  secured primarily by real estate, and
management believes that it is unlikely that any material loss will be  incurred
on disposition of the collateral. The remaining nonaccrual loans represent loans
of less than $100,000 each.

    The  Company's policy generally is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when
payment of principal or interest is  contractually past due 90 days, or  earlier
when  concern exists as to the ultimate collection of principal and interest. At
the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued  but
uncollected is reversed and charged against current income.

    Loans  which are contractually 90 days or more past due, which are both well
secured or  guaranteed  by financially  responsible  third parties  and  in  the
process of collection, generally are not placed on nonaccrual status. The amount
of such accruing loans 90 days or more past due for the years ended December 31,
1995,  1994 and 1993 totaled $642,000,  $226,000 and $439,000, respectively. The
increase in accruing  loans 90 days  or more past  due at December  31, 1995  as
compared  to  December  31, 1994  is  partly  attributable to  two  credits over
$100,000 included  in  the  category,  both  of which  are  in  the  process  of
collection.

                                       37
<PAGE>
    Nonperforming  assets of  $3.6 million at  December 31,  1995 decreased $1.2
million or  25.5% compared  to December  31,  1994 levels  of $4.8  million  and
decreased  $138,000 or  2.9% for  the year ended  December 31,  1994 compared to
December 31, 1993 levels of $5.0  million. Management actively seeks buyers  for
all   Other  Real  Estate.  See  "Noninterest   Expense"  above.  The  ratio  of
nonperforming assets plus accruing loans 90 days  or more past due as a  percent
of  total loans and other nonperforming assets at December 31, 1995 decreased to
0.94% from 1.47% at December  31, 1994 due primarily  to the reduction in  other
nonperforming  assets and the addition of $43.7 million of performing loans from
the RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions.

    Management is not aware of any borrower relationships that are not  reported
as  nonperforming where management has serious doubts  as to the ability of such
borrowers to comply  with the  present loan  repayment terms  which would  cause
nonperforming assets to increase materially.

    Effective  January  1,  1995,  the Company  adopted  Statement  114  and the
amendment thereof,  Statement 118.  Under Statement  114, a  loan is  considered
impaired  when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that a
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the  contractual
terms  of the loan  agreement. Statement 114  requires that an  impaired loan be
valued utilizing (i) the present value of expected future cash flows  discounted
at  the  effective  interest  rate of  the  loan,  (ii) the  fair  value  of the
underlying collateral,  or  (iii)  the  observable market  price  of  the  loan.
Statement  118  amended  Statement  114  by  expanding  the  related  disclosure
requirements and permitting  use of  existing methods  for recognizing  interest
income  on  impaired loans.  See "Texas  Regional Bancshares,  Inc. Management's
Discussion and  Analysis  of  Financial Position  and  Results  of  Operations--
Analysis of Results of Operations -- Provision for Loan Losses."

    At  December 31, 1995, the Company had a $2.0 million recorded investment in
impaired loans  for which  there was  a  related allowance  for loan  losses  of
$172,000. At December 31, 1995, there were no impaired loans for which there was
no related allowance for loan losses. The average level of impaired loans during
the year ended December 31, 1995 was $1.9 million. The Company recorded interest
income of $91,000 on its impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1995.

years is presented in the following table:

    Interest income that would  have been recorded for  the year ended  December
31,  1995  on nonaccrual  and  renegotiated loans  had  such loans  performed in
accordance with their original contractual terms and been outstanding throughout
the year ended December 31, 1995, or since origination, if held for only part of
that year, was approximately $247,000. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
amount of interest income actually recorded on nonaccrual and restructured loans
was approximately $176,000.

    Management regularly reviews  and monitors  the loan  portfolio to  identify
borrowers  experiencing  financial  difficulties. Management  believes  that, at
December 31,  1995, all  such loans  had  been identified  and included  in  the
nonaccrual,  restructured or 90 days past due loan totals reflected in the table
above.  Management  continues   to  emphasize   maintaining  a   low  level   of
nonperforming assets and returning nonperforming assets to an earning status.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    Management  analyzes the  loan portfolio  to determine  the adequacy  of the
allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision required to maintain  an
adequate  allowance.  In assessing  the  adequacy of  the  allowance, management
reviews the size,  quality and  risks of loans  in the  portfolio and  considers
factors  such as specific known risks, past experience, the status and amount of
nonperforming assets and economic conditions. A specific percentage is allocated
to total loans in good standing and additional amounts are added for  individual
loans considered to have specific loss potential. Loans identified as losses are
charged  off. In  addition, the  loan review committee  of the  Bank reviews the
assessments of management in  determining the adequacy  of the Bank's  allowance
for  loan  losses. Based  on  total allocations,  the  provision is  recorded to
maintain the  allowance  at a  level  deemed appropriate  by  management.  While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, there can be
no  assurance that future additions to the  allowance will not be necessary. The
allowance for  loan  losses  at  December  31,  1995  was  $4.5  million,  which
represents an increase of $1.0 million or 29.3% as compared to the allowance for
loan  losses at  December 31, 1994.  Management believes that  the allowance for
loan losses  at December  31, 1995  adequately reflects  the risks  in the  loan
portfolio. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination
process,  periodically  review the  Company's  allowance for  loan  losses. Such
agencies may require the Company to  recognize additions to the allowance  based
on  their  judgments of  information  available to  them  at the  time  of their
examination.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

    Premises and equipment of $18.4 million at December 31, 1995 increased  $3.1
million or 20.3% compared to $15.3 million at December 31, 1994 in addition to a
net increase of $480,000 or 3.2% for December 31, 1994 compared to $14.8 million
at December 31, 1993. The net increase for the year

                                       40
<PAGE>
ended  December 31, 1995 is primarily attributable  to the $1.8 million in fixed
assets acquired in the  RGC/ Roma Branch Acquisitions  and $1.0 million for  new
equipment and software for the data processing center.

INTANGIBLES

    Intangibles  of $5.7 million at December  31, 1995 increased $3.7 million or
188.1% compared to $2.0 million at  December 31, 1994 and decreased $224,000  or
10.1%  for December 31, 1994 compared to  $2.2 million at December 31, 1993. The
net increase  for  the year  ended  December 31,  1995  is attributable  to  the
goodwill recorded as a result of the RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions.

DEPOSITS

    Total  deposits  of $579.7  million at  December  31, 1995  increased $107.6
million or 22.8%  compared to  December 31, 1994  levels of  $472.1 million  and
total  deposits of $472.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased
$42.6 million or 9.9%  compared to December 31,  1993 levels of $429.5  million.
The  increase in total  deposits at December  31, 1995 compared  to December 31,
1994 is  primarily  attributable  to the  RGC/Roma  Branch  Acquisitions.  Total
noninterest-bearing  deposits of $120.4 million for  the year ended December 31,
1995 represented an  increase of  $20.8 million or  20.8% compared  to the  year
ended  December 31, 1994 and $10.2 million  or 11.5% for the year ended December
31, 1994  compared to  the year  ended  December 31,  1993. Total  public  funds
deposits  (consisting of Public Funds Demand Deposits, Public Funds Money Market
Checking and Savings and  Public Funds Time Deposits)  of $39.3 million for  the
year  ended  December 31,  1995  decreased $16.3  million  or 29.3%  compared to
December 31,  1994 levels  of $55.6  million.  The decline  in public  funds  is
primarily  due to the loss of a large public fund to a competitor as a result of
a competitive  bid in  September  1995. The  Bank  actively seeks  consumer  and
commercial  deposits,  including deposits  from  correspondent banks  and public

    Mexico is a part of the trade territory of the Company and foreign  deposits
from  Mexican sources have  traditionally been a source  of funding. In December
1994, the Mexican  government announced a  15% devaluation of  the Mexican  peso
relative  to the United States dollar, and  the Mexican peso has since continued
to decline relative to the dollar. The Company does not anticipate any  negative
impact  on foreign deposits  due to these  recent devaluations of  the peso. The
increase in  foreign  deposits is  primarily  attributable to  Mexican  deposits
obtained  with the  RGC/Roma Branch  Acquisitions. The  following table presents
foreign deposits, primarily from Mexican sources, at December 31, 1995 and 1994:

LIQUIDITY

    Liquidity management  assures  that adequate  funds  are available  to  meet
deposit   withdrawals,  loan  demand   and  maturing  liabilities.  Insufficient
liquidity can  result  in  higher  costs of  obtaining  funds,  while  excessive
liquidity  can  lead to  a  decline in  earnings due  to  the cost  of foregoing
alternative investments. The  ability to  renew and  acquire additional  deposit
liabilities  is a major source of  liquidity. The Company's principal sources of
funds are  primarily  within  the local  markets  of  the Bank  and  consist  of
deposits,  interest and principal  payments on loans  and investment securities,
sales of loans and investment securities and borrowings. See previous discussion
regarding  the  maturity   dates  for  "Loans,"   "Investment  Securities"   and
"Deposits."

    Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable,
or  which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future. These include
cash, federal funds sold and U.S. Government-backed securities. At December  31,
1995,  the Company's  liquidity ratio,  defined as  cash, U.S. Government-backed
securities and  federal  funds sold  as  a  percentage of  deposits,  was  27.5%
compared to 34.2%

                                       42
<PAGE>
at  December 31, 1994 and compared to  36.0% at December 31, 1993. The Company's
liquidity ratio has declined as a result of management's efforts to improve  the
Company's earnings mix by increasing loan volume.

    Liability   liquidity  is  provided  by  access  to  core  funding  sources,
principally various customers' interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing  deposit
accounts  in the Company's trade area. The Company  does not have or nor does it
solicit brokered deposits. Federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings are
additional sources of liquidity.  These sources of  liquidity are short-term  in
nature  and are  used, as  necessary, to fund  asset growth  and meet short-term
liquidity needs.

    During 1995,  funds for  $79.4  million of  investment purchases  and  $69.5
million  of net loan growth came from  various sources, including a net increase
in deposits of $27.9 million, $12.6 million in proceeds from sale of  investment
securities,  $62.5 million in  proceeds from maturing  investment securities and
$8.7 million of net income.

    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
requires that  federal  bank  regulatory  authorities  take  "prompt  corrective
action" with respect to any depository institution which does not meet specified
minimum  capital requirements. The applicable regulations establish five capital
levels which require or permit the FRB and other regulatory authorities to  take
supervisory  action. The relevant classifications  range from "well capitalized"
to "critically undercapitalized." The  classifications are generally  determined
by   applicable  ratios  of  the  institution,   including  Tier  I  capital  to
risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and leverage ratios.
Based on Texas  State Bank's capital  ratios at December  31, 1995, Texas  State
Bank was classified as "well capitalized" under the applicable regulations. As a
result,  the  Company  does  not  believe  that  the  prompt  corrective  action
regulations have any  material effect  on the  activities or  operations of  the
Company or Texas State Bank.

    The  principal sources  of liquidity  for the  Company during  1995 were the
proceeds from the 1994 sale of 1.0  million shares of Common Stock and  interest
income  of $338,000 from the Bank. The funds received were used primarily to pay
common stock dividends and other expenses.

    The Company is dependent on dividend  and interest income from the Bank  and
the  sale of  stock for its  liquidity. Applicable FRB  regulations provide that
bank holding  companies are  permitted  by regulatory  authorities to  pay  cash
dividends  on  their  common or  preferred  stock if  consolidated  earnings and
consolidated capital are within regulatory guidelines and the Bank is classified
as "well capitalized" for  purposes of FDICIA. See  "Business -- Regulation  and
Supervision" and "Business -- Capital Resources."

    The  funds management policy  of the Company  and the Bank  is to maintain a
reasonably balanced position of rate  sensitive assets and liabilities to  avoid
adverse  changes in  net interest income.  Changes in net  interest income occur
when interest rates on loans and  investments change in a different time  period
from  that of  changes in  interest rates  on liabilities,  or when  the mix and
volume of interest-earning assets  and interest-bearing liabilities change.  The
interest rate sensitivity gap represents the dollar amount of difference between
rate  sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities within a given time period
("GAP"). A GAP  ratio is determined  by dividing rate  sensitive assets by  rate
sensitive liabilities. A ratio of 1.0 indicates a perfectly matched position, in
which  case the  effect on  net interest income  due to  interest rate movements
would be zero.

    Rate sensitive  assets  maturing within  one  year exceeded  rate  sensitive
liabilities  with comparable maturities  at December 31,  1995 by $22.3 million.
Management monitors the rate sensitivity GAP on a regular basis and takes  steps
when  appropriate  to  improve the  sensitivity.  The ratio  of  cumulative rate
sensitivity GAP to Total Assets at a  period of twelve months or less was  3.45%
of interest-earning assets at December 31, 1995.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

    Financial  institutions  are  impacted  differently  by  inflation  than are
industrial companies.  While industrial  and manufacturing  companies  generally
have   significant  investments  in  inventories  and  fixed  assets,  financial
institutions ordinarily do  not have  such investments. As  a result,  financial
institutions  are generally  in a better  position than  industrial companies to
respond to inflationary trends by  monitoring the spread between interest  costs
and  interest income yields through adjustments of maturities and interest rates
of assets and liabilities. In addition,  inflation tends to increase demand  for
loans  from financial institutions as industrial companies attempt to maintain a
constant level  of goods  in inventory  and assets.  As consumers  of goods  and
services,  financial institutions are affected  by inflation as prices increase,
causing an increase in costs  of salaries, employee benefits, occupancy  expense
and similar items.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Shareholders'  equity of $62.7 million for  the year ended December 31, 1995
reflects a  net increase  of approximately  $7.0 million  or 12.5%  compared  to
shareholders' equity of $55.7 million for the year

                                       44
<PAGE>
ended  December  31,  1994.  This net  increase  was  primarily  attributable to
earnings for 1995. The net  increase in shareholders' equity reflects  dividends
paid  on Common Stock of $2.5  million which included $620,000 declared December
12, 1995 and paid on January 16, 1996.

    On March  21,  1994,  the  Board  of Directors  of  the  Company  adopted  a
resolution  calling  for  redemption  on  April  22,  1994  of  all  issued  and
outstanding preferred stock,  including the Company's  First Series  Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  Series  1990  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  and  Series 1991
Convertible Preferred Stock (herein  collectively called the "Preferred  Stock")
at  a redemption price of  $104 per share plus  all accrued and unpaid dividends
through the date fixed for redemption. The Preferred Stock was convertible  into
13.2 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock held.

    Effective  April 22, 1994,  356 shares of Preferred  Stock were redeemed and
74,172 shares of Preferred  Stock were converted into  979,009 shares of  Common
Stock.

    The  risk-based capital standards  as established by the  FRB apply to Texas
Regional and Texas State Bank. The numerator of the risk-based capital ratio for
bank  holding  companies   includes  Tier  I   capital,  consisting  of   common
shareholders'  equity  and  qualifying  cumulative  and  noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock;  and Tier  II  capital, consisting  of other  preferred  stock,
reserve  for  possible  loan  losses  and  certain  subordinated  and  term-debt
securities. Beginning on  December 31, 1993,  goodwill is deducted  from Tier  I
capital.  At no time is Tier II capital  allowed to exceed Tier I capital in the
calculation of total capital. The denominator or asset portion of the risk-based
capital ratio aggregates generic classes of balance sheet and off-balance  sheet
exposures,  each weighted by one of four factors, ranging from 0% to 100%, based
on the relative risk of the exposure class.

    Ratio targets are set for both Tier I and total capital (Tier I plus Tier II
capital). The minimum level of  Tier I capital to total  assets is 4.0% and  the
minimum total capital ratio is 8.0%. The FRB has guidelines for a leverage ratio
that  is designed as an  additional evaluation of capital  adequacy of banks and
bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is defined to be the company's Tier I
capital divided  by  its  risk-adjusted  total  assets.  An  insured  depository
institution  is  "well capitalized"  for  purposes of  the  FDICIA if  its Total
Risk-Based Capital  Ratio  is  equal  to  or greater  than  10.0%,  and  Tier  I
Risk-Based  Capital Ratio is equal to or  greater than 6.0%, and Tier I Leverage
Capital Ratio is equal to or greater than 5.0%. The Company's Tier I  Risk-Based
Capital Ratio was approximately 11.70% and 14.71% at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The Company's  Total Risk-Based  Capital Ratio  was approximately
12.64% and 15.67%  at December 31,  1995 and 1994,  respectively. The  Company's
Tier  I Leverage Capital  Ratio was 8.96%  and 10.37%, at  December 31, 1995 and
1994,  respectively.  Based  on  capital  ratios,  the  Company  is  within  the
definition of "well capitalized" for FRB purposes at December 31, 1995.

    The following table presents the Company's risk-based capital calculation:

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

    Effective  January  1,  1995,  the Company  adopted  Statement  114  and the
amendment thereof,  Statement 118.  Under Statement  114, a  loan is  considered
impaired  when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that a
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the  contractual
terms  of the loan  agreement. Statement 114  requires that an  impaired loan be
valued utilizing (i) the present value of expected future cash flows  discounted
at  the  effective  interest  rate of  the  loan,  (ii) the  fair  value  of the
underlying collateral,  or  (iii)  the  observable market  price  of  the  loan.
Statement  118  amended  Statement  114  by  expanding  the  related  disclosure
requirements and permitting  use of  existing methods  for recognizing  interest
income on impaired loans.

    Loans  which were  restructured prior to  the adoption of  Statement 114 and
which are performing in accordance with the renegotiated terms are not  required
to  be reported  as impaired. Loans  restructured subsequent to  the adoption of
Statement  114  are  required  to  be  reported  as  impaired  in  the  year  of
restructuring.  Thereafter, such  loans can  be removed  from the  impaired loan
disclosure if the loans  were paying a  market rate of interest  at the time  of
restructuring and are performing in accordance with their renegotiated terms.

    For  loans covered  by Statement  114, the  Company makes  an assessment for
impairment when and while such loans are  on nonaccrual status or when the  loan
has  been restructured.  When a loan  with unique risk  characteristics has been
identified as being impaired, the amount  of impairment will be measured by  the
Company  using discounted cash flows, except when it is determined that the sole
(remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation  of
the  underlying  collateral.  In  such  case,  the  current  fair  value  of the
collateral, reduced by costs to sell, will  be used in place of discounted  cash
flows.  At the time a  loan is placed on  nonaccrual status, interest previously
recognized but  uncollected  is reversed  and  charged against  current  income.
Subsequent  interest payments  received on  nonaccrual loans  are either applied
against principal or reported as income, depending upon management's  assessment
of the ultimate collectability of principal.

    In management's opinion, the adoption of Statement 114 and Statement 118 did
not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations.

    In October 1995, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123  ("Statement 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement 123
establishes  financial  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for   stock-based
employee  compensation plans. Statement 123 encourages entities to adopt a "fair
value" based  method  of accounting  for  stock-based compensation  plans  which
requires  an  estimate  of the  fair  value  of stock  options  or  other equity
instruments to which employees become entitled when they have rendered requisite
service or satisfied  other conditions necessary  to earn the  right to  benefit
from  the instruments.  Compensation cost is  then determined based  on the fair
value estimate and is recognized over  the service period, which is usually  the
vesting  period.  Statement  123  also  requires  that  an  employer's financial
statements include certain disclosures  about stock-based employee  compensation
arrangements regardless of the method used to account for them.

    The  accounting requirements of Statement 123 are effective for transactions
entered into in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. In management's
opinion, implementation of Statement 123 should  have no material effect on  the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

    The  fourth quarter net income  for 1995 of $2.4  million or $0.39 per share
reflected an increase of $139,000 or 6.1% compared to $2.3 million or $0.37  per
share for the fourth quarter of 1994. Earnings

</TABLE>

    Net interest income of $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 1995 increased
$1.3 million or 21.4% compared to $6.3  million for the fourth quarter of  1994,
reflecting  the increased volume of earning assets and net increase in yield for
the year ended December 31, 1995.  Average earning assets of $574.0 million  for
the  fourth quarter of 1995 increased $104.4 million or 22.2% compared to $469.6
million for the  fourth quarter  of 1994. The  fourth quarter  of 1995  interest
margin  was 5.28% compared to 5.31% for the  fourth quarter of 1994 and 5.15% in
the third quarter of 1995.

    The provision for loan losses charged against earnings in the fourth quarter
of 1995  was $625,000  compared to  $455,000  for the  fourth quarter  of  1994,
reflecting  an increase of $170,000  or 37.4%. The provision  for loan losses in
the fourth quarter of 1995 was primarily attributable to loan growth.

    Noninterest income of $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 1995  increased
$215,000  or 14.2%  compared to  $1.5 million  for the  fourth quarter  of 1994,
primarily due to an increased volume of business and as a result of the RGC/Roma
Branch Acquisitions. All components of noninterest income reflect increases  for
fourth  quarter of 1995 compared to fourth  quarter of 1994 except Other Service
Charges and Investment Securities Gains  (Losses). The decline in Other  Service
Charges  is primarily  attributable to  a decline  in foreign  currency exchange
fees. Investment Securities Gains (Losses)  of ($98,000) for the fourth  quarter
of  1995  compared to  Investment Securities  Gains (Losses)  of $8,000  for the
fourth quarter of 1994.

    Noninterest expense of $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 1995 increased
$1.2 million or 33.0% compared to $3.8  million for the fourth quarter of  1994.
The increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributable to Other Losses of
$239,000  for the fourth quarter  of 1995 reflecting a  net increase of $738,000
compared to a net gain of $499,000 for the fourth quarter of 1994. The net  gain
for  the  fourth quarter  of 1994  was  primarily attributable  to a  benefit of
$553,000 from the reversal of a second quarter 1994 accrual. The reversal of the
accrual resulted from the settlement of a lawsuit in the last quarter of 1994.

Harlingen,  Texas  ("Harlingen State  Bank")  in May  1984.  In March  1992, the
Company acquired Mid Valley Bank, Weslaco, Texas ("Mid Valley Bank") and  merged
Harlingen  State Bank and Mid Valley Bank  into Texas State Bank. In 1995, Texas
State Bank acquired the Rio Grande City and Roma branches of First National Bank
of South Texas (the "RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions"). Texas State Bank, which  is
the Company's sole subsidiary, operates nine banking locations in the Rio Grande
Valley:  four  banking locations  in McAllen  (including  its main  office), two
banking locations in Weslaco,  and one banking location  each in Harlingen,  Rio
Grande  City and  Roma. At  December 31,  1995, Texas  Regional had consolidated
total assets of $646.8 million, loans outstanding (net of unearned discount)  of
$450.9  million, total deposits  of $579.7 million,  and shareholders' equity of
$62.7 million.

    Upon consummation of the Mergers, Texas State Bank will have 15 full service
banking locations. In addition to the banking locations listed in the  preceding
paragraph,  Texas State Bank will add one  banking location in McAllen, three in
Mission and  one each  in Penitas  and Hidalgo.  Assuming the  Mergers and  this
offering  had been consummated at December 31, 1995, the Bank would have had pro
forma consolidated assets of $1.143 billion, loans outstanding (net of  unearned
discounts)  of  $685.3  million, total  deposits  of $1.024  billion,  and total
shareholders' equity of $105.3 million.

    The business  strategy of  Texas Regional  is for  the Bank  to provide  its
customers  with  the  financial  sophistication and  breadth  of  products  of a
regional bank,  while retaining  the local  appeal  and level  of service  of  a
community bank. The Board of Directors and senior management of the Company have
maintained  the  Company's  community  orientation  by  tailoring  products  and
services to  meet community  and customer  needs. Management  believes that  the
Company is well positioned in its market due to its responsive customer service,
the  strong community involvement of Texas  State Bank management and employees,
recent trends in the Texas banking environment in general and the economy of the
Rio Grande Valley in particular. Management's strategy is to provide a  business
culture  in which individual customers and small and medium sized businesses are
accorded the  highest  priority in  all  aspects of  the  Company's  operations.
Management  believes that individualized customer service will allow the Company
to increase its  market share in  lending volume  and deposits. As  part of  its
operating  and growth strategies, the Company  is working to continue to attract
business from, and provide  service to, small and  medium sized businesses,  and
expand operations in the Rio Grande Valley. Management believes that the Mergers
are consistent with this strategy.

    By   maximizing  personal  knowledge  of  and  contact  with  customers  and
endeavoring to  understand  the needs  and  preferences of  its  customers,  the
Company  is working to maintain and  further enhance its reputation of providing
excellent customer  service, allowing  it  to achieve  its growth  and  earnings
goals.  The Company has developed an  organizational structure that allows it to
make credit and other banking  decisions rapidly. Management believes that  this
structure,  when  compared  to  competing  financial  institutions,  enables the
Company to  provide a  higher degree  of service  and increased  flexibility  to
creditworthy customers.

    The  Bank  continues  to focus  on  small  and medium  sized  businesses and
individual customers as its principal market,  and seeks to provide services  to
its  customers across all product lines.  Many financial institutions in the Rio
Grande  Valley  have  become  part   of  much  larger  state-wide  or   national
organizations. Management believes that the acquiring institutions in many cases
have  shifted decision making and  operations out of the  Rio Grande Valley, and
therefore have decreased the level of personal service that the Company seeks to
provide to small and medium sized businesses that are the core of the  Company's
existing  business and  marketing efforts.  The Company  intends to  continue to
target its marketing efforts to those businesses and individuals who prefer  the
personalized customer service emphasized by the Company.

    Bank  management and other employees participate  actively in a wide variety
of civic and community activities and organizations, including local chambers of
commerce, industrial foundations  and charitable  and civic  activities such  as
educational  institutions, health care organizations  and the McAllen Affordable
Housing Corporation. Management has also been actively involved in organizations
to promote  border trade  and economic  development. The  Company believes  that
these  activities  assist  the  Bank through  increased  visibility  and through
development and maintenance of customer relationships.

    For its business  customers, Texas  State Bank  offers checking  facilities,
certificates  of  deposit,  short  term  loans  for  working  capital  purposes,
construction financing, mortgage loans, term loans for fixed asset and expansion
needs, and  other commercial  loans. The  services provided  for individuals  by
Texas  State Bank include  checking accounts, savings  accounts, certificates of
deposit, individual retirement  accounts and consumer  loan programs,  including
installment loans for home repair and for purchases of consumer goods, including
automobiles,  trucks  and  boats,  and mortgage  loans.  Texas  State  Bank also
provides travelers checks, money orders and safe deposit facilities, and  offers
trust  services. While First State Bank and Border Bank provide similar services
and products for  their customers, the  products and services  offered at  these
locations will be expanded to include all products and services offered by Texas
State Bank.

    Texas  State Bank has also expanded the  services which it provides to third
party correspondent  banks. The  Texas State  Bank data  processing center,  for
example,  presently serves three banks in  addition to providing data processing
services for  all Texas  State  Bank banking  locations.  It is  expected  that,
following  consummation  of the  Mergers  and a  conversion  in fall  1996, data
processing for the  bank facilities formerly  operated as First  State Bank  and
Border Bank facilities will be performed by the Texas State Bank data processing
facility.

    The  Company has  expanded its  market area  and increased  its market share
through both  internal growth  and  through acquisitions.  In August  1995,  the
Company  completed the RGC/Roma Branch  Acquisitions. In that transaction, which
was accounted for as a purchase, Texas State Bank acquired substantially all  of
the  fixed assets associated with the  banking locations, certain loans coded to
the banking  locations,  and  certain  other assets,  in  consideration  of  the
assumption  of  certain deposit  accounts coded  to  the banking  locations. The
RGC/Roma Branch  Acquisitions increased  loans and  deposits of  the Company  by
$43.7  million and $79.7 million, respectively,  at the time of the acquisition.
In addition to the pending Mergers, management believes there may be  additional
opportunities  to  expand by  acquiring financial  institutions or  by acquiring
assets and deposits  that will allow  the Company to  enter adjacent markets  or
further  increase market share in existing markets. Management intends to pursue
acquisition  opportunities  in  strategic  markets  in  circumstances  in  which
management  believes that its managerial, operational and capital resources will
enhance  the  performance  of  acquired  institutions.  Except  for  the  Merger
Agreements,  there are currently no agreements  or understandings related to any
acquisition.

MARKET REGIONS

    Texas Regional's  operations are  located in  the Rio  Grande Valley,  which
consists  of Cameron, Hidalgo, Willacy and  Starr Counties. Cameron, Hidalgo and
Starr Counties are each directly adjacent  to the Rio Grande River, which  forms
part  of the  border between  the United States  and Mexico.  Texas State Bank's
banking locations are located in  Hidalgo County (McAllen and Weslaco),  Cameron
County  (Harlingen), and Starr County (Rio Grande City and Roma). The offices of
First State Bank and Border Bank are all located in Hidalgo County.

    The  ability  of  Texas  Regional  to  continue  its  rate  of  growth   and
profitability  is closely linked  to the economy  of the Rio  Grande Valley. The
economy of the Rio  Grande Valley is based  principally on retailing  (including
trade with Mexico), government, agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, health care
and  education. A large number of retirees spend  all or part of the year in the
Rio Grande  Valley.  Many  twin manufacturing  plants,  or  "maquiladoras",  are
located  in the  Rio Grande  Valley or  in cities  located across  the border in
Mexico, such as Reynosa and Matamoros.

    The City of McAllen,  which is the location  of the Company's  headquarters,
serves  as the center  of a 150  mile retail market  area. A large  part of this
trade area is composed of the Mexican states of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, which
had estimated populations of 3.1 million and 2.2 million, respectively, in 1990.
The major  industrial and  commercial center  of northern  Mexico, the  City  of
Monterrey in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, is located approximately 150 miles
southwest  of  McAllen.  Among  the  largest  cities  in  the  Mexican  state of
Tamaulipas are Reynosa, located ten miles south of McAllen and estimated to have
a population in excess of 700,000 persons, and Ciudad Victoria, which is located
200 miles  south  of McAllen.  The  Rio Grande  Valley  market includes  a  U.S.
population  of approximately  800,000, a  population which  increased 128.0% (or
3.5% annually) between 1970 and 1994. The market area served by Texas State Bank
has been  recognized as  among the  fastest  growing areas  in the  nation.  The
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission  area has a  projected population growth  rate of 23.8%
between 1994  and  2000, and  the  Brownsville-Harlingen area  has  a  projected
population growth rate of 16.0% during that same period.

    The  Rio Grande Valley has also experienced significant recent growth in the
retail and  construction  industries. Retail  sales  in the  Rio  Grande  Valley
totaled  approximately  $5.9 billion  in 1994,  representing an  annual compound
growth rate  of 7.9%  since 1984.  With respect  to new  construction  activity,
building  permits in  the Rio  Grande Valley have  grown 89.8%  between 1989 and
1994, representing an annual compound growth rate of 13.7%.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

    The primary source of income generated  by Texas State Bank is the  interest
earned  from  its loan  and investment  portfolios.  Texas State  Bank maintains
diversification when considering investments and the granting of loan  requests.
Emphasis  is placed on the  borrower's ability to generate  cash flow to support
its debt obligations and other cash related expenses. Lending activities include
commercial loans,  agricultural loans,  consumer loans  and real  estate  loans.
Commercial  loans and  agricultural loans  are originated  primarily for working
capital funding. Consumer loans include  those for the purchase of  automobiles,
mobile  homes, home improvements and investments.  Real estate loans include the
origination of loans for commercial property acquisition or remodeling, and also
include conventional mortgages for the purchase of single-family houses or lots.
A substantial proportion  of the properties  collateralizing Texas State  Bank's
mortgage portfolio is located in the Company's primary market area.

    During  1995, Frank  A. Kavanagh,  President of  Texas State  Bank's Weslaco
banking location, was appointed the Chief  Lending Officer of Texas State  Bank.
During   1995,  Texas   State  Bank  also   further  standardized  documentation
requirements and centralized  loan controls  and supervision.  Texas State  Bank
management  continues to seek to preserve and  enhance the quality of the Bank's
loan portfolio.

    At December 31, 1995, Texas Regional's total loan portfolio (net of unearned
discount) was $450.9 million, representing 77.8% and 69.7% of its total deposits
and total  assets, respectively,  at  that date.  Total loans  increased  $110.9
million,  or 32.6%, during 1995 from December 31, 1994 levels of $339.9 million.
A significant portion of this increase  was attributable to the RGC/Roma  Branch
Acquisitions.  The Company's legal  lending limit to any  one borrower was $11.5
million at December 31, 1995. However, the legal lending limit does not  include
the  portion of a loan collateralized by cash or cash equivalents and government
guaranties. All current loans fall  well below applicable legal lending  limits.
Texas  Regional's lending policy generally limits  loans to one borrower to $8.0
million, with  exceptions  allowed for  selected  customers. An  example  of  an
exception  is a $34.0 million loan made during 1995 to fund a leveraged employee
stock ownership trust, which was secured  by, among other assets, cash and  cash
equivalents  of $27.5 million. See "Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. Management's
Discussion   and   Analysis    of   Financial   Condition    and   Results    of
Operations--Analysis of Financial Condition--Loans."

    Assuming  consummation of the Mergers, on a  pro forma basis at December 31,
1995, Texas Regional's  total loan  portfolio (net of  unearned discount)  would
have  been $685.3  million and  its legal  lending limit  would have  been $21.5
million.

    At December 31, 1995, First State Bank and Border Bank had $13.0 million  of
loans  secured by non-U.S. collateral, primarily real estate and other assets in
Mexico. Management currently intends to maintain the portfolio of such loans but
does not intend to significantly expand the volume of such loans.

    The following table  summarizes the loan  portfolio of the  Company by  loan
category  and amount at December  31, 1995 and on a  pro forma basis at December
31, 1995, assuming that the Mergers had been consummated at December 31, 1995:

COMMERCIAL LENDING

    At December 31,  1995, the Company  had $146.5 million  of commercial  loans
outstanding,  representing 32.5%  of its  total loans.  Commercial loan balances
increased $44.6 million, or 43.8%, during 1995 from December 31, 1994 levels  of
$101.9 million. The increase in commercial loans for the year ended December 31,
1995  was primarily  attributable to  the funding  of a  $34.0 million leveraged
employee stock ownership trust loan which is collateralized by stock and  assets
of  the employer  and approximately  $27.5 million  of cash  and cash equivalent
assets. Excluding this loan, commercial  loans at December 31, 1995  represented
an increase of $10.6 million, or 10.4%, compared to levels at December 31, 1994.
On  a pro forma  basis at December 31,  1995, the Company  would have had $215.3
million of commercial loans  outstanding, representing 31.4%  of total loans  at
December 31, 1995.

    Texas State Bank offers a variety of commercial loan services including term
loans,   lines  of   credit,  and   equipment  financing.   A  broad   range  of
short-to-medium term commercial loans, both collateralized and uncollateralized,
is made available  to businesses  for working capital  (including inventory  and
receivables),  business  expansion (including  acquisitions  of real  estate and
improvements), and the  purchase of equipment  and machinery. The  purpose of  a
particular loan generally determines its structure.

    Generally,  Texas  State Bank's  commercial  loans are  underwritten  in the
Bank's primary market  area on the  basis of the  borrower's ability to  service
such  debt  from  income. As  a  general  practice, Texas  State  Bank  takes as
collateral a lien  on any  available real  estate, equipment,  or other  assets.
Working  capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas
term loans are primarily collateralized by long-term assets.

    Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis  of
the  borrower's ability to  make repayment from his  employment and other income
and which  are collateralized  by real  property whose  value tends  to be  more
readily  ascertainable, commercial loans typically are underwritten on the basis
of the borrower's ability to make repayment  from the cash flow of its  business
and   generally  are  collateralized  by   business  assets,  such  as  accounts
receivable, equipment and inventory. As a  result, the availability of funds  or
collateral  value available  to support  the repayment  of commercial  loans may
deteriorate over time,  cannot be  appraised with precision,  and may  fluctuate
based on the success of the business.

AGRICULTURAL LOANS

    At  December 31, 1995,  the Company had $25.1  million of agricultural loans
outstanding, representing 5.6%  of its total  loans. Agricultural loan  balances
increased  $7.9 million, or 45.9%, during 1995  from December 31, 1994 levels of
$17.2 million. On a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995, the Company would have
had $34.0 million of agricultural loans outstanding, representing 5.0% of  total
loans.

REAL ESTATE LOANS

    At  December 31, 1995, the  Company had $236.0 million  of real estate loans
outstanding. Real estate loan balances increased $45.9 million, or 24.1%  during
1995  from  December  31,  1994  levels of  $190.2  million.  Real  estate loans
represented 52.3% and 55.9% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 1995  and
1994, respectively. On a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995, the Company would
have  had $371.3  million of  real estate loans  outstanding, or  54.2% of total
loans.

    A substantial portion of the Bank's  real estate mortgage loans are  secured
by non-farm, non-residential properties, which are loans to commercial customers
for  purposes of providing working capital. In addition, some of the Bank's real
estate mortgage loans have been made to finance or refinance the acquisition and
holding of commercial real  estate. The Bank offers  a variety of mortgage  loan
products  which generally are (i) amortized over  five to 15 years, (ii) payable
in monthly installments of principal and interest, and (iii) due and payable  in
full within three to five years.

    Finally, a small portion of the Bank's lending activity has consisted of the
origination  of  single-family  residential  mortgage  loans  collateralized  by
owner-occupied property  located in  the Bank's  primary market  area. The  Bank
intends  to pursue increased originations  of single-family residential mortgage
loans with respect to its existing customer base. Loans collateralized by single
family residential real estate generally have  been originated in amounts of  no
more than 85% of appraised value. The Bank requires mortgage title insurance and
hazard  insurance  in the  amount  of the  loan.  Although the  contractual loan
payment periods for single  family residential real  estate loans are  generally
amortized  over five to  20 years, they  are payable in  monthly installments of
principal and interest and are typically due and payable in full within three to
five years. At  December 31,  1995, approximately  $13.0 million  of the  single
family  residential mortgage loans at First State Bank and Border Bank consisted
of loans to  low and  moderate income  borrowers. The  characteristics of  these
loans  may contribute  to a higher  level of  delinquencies. Management believes
that this component of the pro forma  portfolio will not have an adverse  impact
on the financial performance of the Company.

CONSUMER LOANS

    At  December  31, 1995,  the  Company had  $43.3  million of  consumer loans
outstanding, representing  9.6%  of its  total  loans. Aggregate  consumer  loan
balances  increased $12.6 million, or 40.9%,  during 1995 from December 31, 1994
levels of $30.7 million. On a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995, the  Company
would have had $64.7 million of consumer loans outstanding, or 9.4% of its total
loans.

    Consumer loans made by the Bank have included automobile loans, recreational
vehicle  loans,  boat  loans,  second mortgage  loans,  home  improvement loans,
personal  loans  (collateralized  and  uncollateralized)  and  deposit   account
collateralized  loans. The terms  of these loans  typically range from  12 to 60
months and vary based upon the nature of collateral and size of loan.

    Consumer loans are  attractive to  the Bank  because they  typically have  a
short  term and carry higher interest rates than those charged on other types of
loans. Installment loans,  however, do pose  additional risks of  collectability
when compared to traditional types of loans granted by commercial banks, such as
residential  mortgage loans. In many instances, the  Bank is required to rely on
the borrower's ability to repay since the collateral may be of reduced value  at
the time of collection. Accordingly, the initial determination of the borrower's
ability to repay is of primary importance in the underwriting of consumer loans.

INVESTMENTS

    At  December 31, 1995 the Company had federal funds sold of $3.6 million and
investment securities of $131.6 million,  including $63.1 million classified  as
Available for Sale and $68.5 million classified as Held to Maturity. Investments
are managed to maintain adequate sources of liquidity and diversification and to
generate acceptable levels of tax-equivalent yield.

    On  a  pro forma  basis at  December 31,  1995, after  giving effect  to the
Mergers and  this offering  at December  31, 1995,  the Company  would have  had
federal  funds sold of $4.9 million and investment securities of $328.1 million,
including $65.9  million classified  as Available  for Sale  and $262.2  million
classified  as Held to  Maturity. The pro  forma adjustments include assumptions
regarding the use of sources of liquidity including federal funds sold and sales
of certain investment securities  to fund a portion  of the purchase price.  See
"Texas   Regional  Bancshares,  Inc.  Pro  Forma  Combined  Condensed  Financial
Information." Management believes that sources of liquidity will be adequate  to
fund  the required portion  of consideration in  the Mergers but  will decide on
specific securities  to  be sold  based  on market  conditions  at the  time  of
Closing.

    The  following table summarizes  the investment portfolio  of the Company by
investment category and amount at December 31, 1995 and on a pro forma basis  at
December  31, 1995, assuming  that the Mergers had  been consummated at December
31, 1995:

    As a part of the Company's purchase accounting adjustments, the Company will
review investment securities  acquired in  the Mergers  for reclassification  as
Available for Sale or Held to Maturity.

DEPOSITS

    The Company has a stable noninterest-bearing source of funds as reflected in
the  ratio of average demand deposits to  average total deposits for years ended
December 31, 1995 and  1994 of 20.2% and  20.9%, respectively. Deposits  provide
funding  for the Company's investments in loans and securities, and the interest
paid for deposits  must be managed  carefully to control  the level of  interest
expense.

    Texas  State Bank's  deposits at December  31, 1995 were  $579.7 million, an
increase of $107.6 million, or 22.8%  during 1995 from December 31, 1994  levels
of  $472.1 million. A portion of this  increase was attributable to the RGC/Roma
Branch Acquisitions. Deposits currently consist primarily of core deposits  from
the  Rio Grande Valley and surrounding areas. Texas State Bank does not have any
"brokered deposits", defined as deposits  which, to the knowledge of  management
of  Texas Regional, have  been placed with  the Bank by  a person who  acts as a
broker in placing such  deposits on behalf  of others. On a  pro forma basis  at
December 31, 1995, the Bank's deposits would have been $1.024 billion.

    At  December 31, 1995, certificates  of deposit held by  Texas State Bank in
excess of $100,000 were  $126.4 million, or  21.8% of total  deposits. On a  pro
forma  basis at December 31,  1995, certificates of deposit  held by the Bank in
excess of $100,000 would have been $265.5 million, or 25.9% of total deposits.

    Texas State Bank acts as local depository for a number of local governmental
entities in its  market area,  including the City  of McAllen,  the South  Texas
Community  College District, the City of Weslaco, the Weslaco Independent School
District, the City of Rio Grande City, the City of Roma and Starr County.  Local
government  deposits are subject  to competitive bid  and in many  cases must be
secured by government securities. Total deposits by or on behalf of governmental
entities at December 31, 1995,  aggregated approximately $39.3 million, or  6.8%
of  total deposits. On a pro forma basis  at December 31, 1995, the Bank's total
deposits by or on behalf of government entities would have been $128.5  million,
or 12.6% of total deposits.

    As  with loan transactions, Texas State Bank has developed deposit relations
with depositors who are Mexican residents. At December 31, 1995, $56.5  million,
or 9.8% of the Bank's total demand and time deposits were deposited primarily by
or  on behalf of residents of Mexico. On a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995,
$146.9 million, or  14.4% of the  Bank's total demand  and time deposits,  would
have  been deposited primarily by  or on behalf of  residents of Mexico. As with
loan transactions, management  believes that  Texas State  Bank's percentage  of
deposits  by or on behalf of residents of Mexico, and the percentage of deposits
on a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995, on behalf of residents of Mexico, are
somewhat less than that of  banks of comparable size  located in the Rio  Grande
Valley.

COMPETITION

    The banking industry in the market area served by Texas State Bank is highly
competitive.  Competition among  financial institutions  is based  upon interest
rates offered on  deposit accounts, interest  rates charged on  loans and  other
credit  and service charges, the quality and scope of the services rendered, the
convenience of  banking facilities,  and, in  the case  of loans  to  commercial
borrowers, relative lending limits. A substantial number of the commercial banks
in  the Rio Grande  Valley are branches of  much larger organizations affiliated
with national, regional  or state-wide  banking companies,  and as  a result  of
those  affiliations have  greater resources than  Texas Regional  or Texas State
Bank. However, as  an independent  community bank headquartered  in Texas  State
Bank's  primary market area, management of the Company believes that Texas State
Bank's community commitment and involvement in its primary market area, as  well
as its commitment to quality and personalized banking services, are factors that
contribute to the Company's competitiveness.

PERSONNEL

    At  December  31, 1995,  Texas  Regional employed  332  full-time equivalent
employees, and on a pro  forma basis at December  31, 1995, would have  employed
467 full-time equivalent employees. Substantially all of the present First State
Bank and Border Bank officers and employees are expected to be employed by Texas
State  Bank. The Company's employees are  not unionized, and management believes
employee relations to be favorable.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

    In addition to  the generally  applicable state and  federal laws  governing
businesses  and  employers,  the  Company  and  Texas  State  Bank  are  further
extensively regulated  by special  federal  and state  laws applicable  only  to
financial  institutions and their parent companies. Virtually all aspects of the
Company's operations are  subject to specific  requirements or restrictions  and
general   regulatory   oversight,   from   laws   regulating   consumer  finance
transactions, such as the Truth In Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
and the  Equal  Credit  Opportunity  Act, to  laws  regulating  collections  and
confidentiality,  such  as the  Fair Debt  Collections  Practices Act,  the Fair
Credit  Reporting  Act  and  the  Right  to  Financial  Privacy  Act.  With  few
exceptions,  state and  federal banking laws  have as  their principal objective
either the  maintenance of  the  safety and  soundness  of the  federal  deposit
insurance  system or the protection of consumers or classes of consumers, rather
than the specific protection of shareholders  of the Company. To the extent  the
following material describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the particular statute or regulation.

    REGULATION OF THE COMPANY

    Texas  Regional is  a bank  holding company within  the meaning  of the Bank
Holding Company Act of  1956 ("BHCA"), as amended,  and therefore is subject  to
regulation  and supervision by the FRB. In  addition, the Company is required to
file reports with and to furnish such  other information as the FRB may  require
pursuant  to the BHCA, and to subject itself  to examination by the FRB. The FRB
has the authority  to issue bank  holding companies orders  to cease and  desist
from  unsound practices and violations of conditions imposed by, or violation of
agreements with, the FRB.  The FRB is also  empowered to assess civil  penalties
against  companies or individuals who violate  the BHCA or orders or regulations
thereunder in  amounts up  to $1.0  million  per day,  to order  termination  of
non-banking  activities of  non-banking subsidiaries of  bank holding companies,
and to order termination of ownership and control of a non-banking subsidiary by
a  bank  holding  company.  Certain  violations  may  also  result  in  criminal
penalties.  The FRB  and the  FDIC, as  appropriate, are  authorized to exercise
comparable authority, under the  Federal Deposit Insurance  Act (the "FDI  Act")
and other statutes, with respect to subsidiary banks.

    The  FRB takes the position that a bank holding company is required to serve
as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may
not conduct its operations in  an unsafe or unsound  manner. In addition, it  is
the   FRB's  position  that,  in  serving  as   a  source  of  strength  to  its

                                       56
<PAGE>
subsidiary banks, a  bank holding company  should stand ready  to use  available
resources  to  provide adequate  capital funds  to  its subsidiary  banks during
periods of  financial stress  or  adversity and  should maintain  the  financial
flexibility  and  capital-raising capacity  to  obtain additional  resources for
assisting its subsidiary  banks. A bank  holding company's failure  to meet  its
obligations  to  serve as  a source  of  strength to  its subsidiary  banks will
generally be considered by the FRB to be an unsafe and unsound banking  practice
or a violation of the FRB regulations or both. This doctrine has become known as
the  "source of strength" doctrine. Although  the United States Court of Appeals
for the Fifth  Circuit found the  FRB's source of  strength doctrine invalid  in
1990,  stating that the  FRB had no  authority to assert  the doctrine under the
BHCA, the decision was reversed by the United States Supreme Court on procedural
grounds.  Changes  in  the   FDI  Act  made  by   the  FDICIA  now  require   an
undercapitalized  institution to  submit to the  FRB a  capital restoration plan
with a  guaranty by  each  company having  control of  the  bank of  the  bank's
compliance with the plan.

    The  BHCA  and the  Change in  Bank Control  Act, together  with regulations
promulgated by the FRB, require that, depending on the particular circumstances,
either FRB approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the FRB  and
not  disapproved prior to  any person or  company acquiring "control"  of a bank
holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions for  certain
transactions.  Control is  conclusively presumed  to exist  if an  individual or
company acquires 25%  or more  of any  class of  voting securities  of the  bank
holding  company. Control is  rebuttably presumed to exist  if a person acquires
10% or more but less than 25% of  any class of voting securities and either  the
company  has registered securities  under Section 12  of the Exchange  Act or no
other person will own  a greater percentage of  that class of voting  securities
immediately  after  the transaction.  The  regulations provide  a  procedure for
challenge of the rebuttable control presumption.

    As a bank holding company, the Company is required to obtain approval  prior
to  merging or consolidating with any  other bank holding company, acquiring all
or substantially all of the assets of any bank or acquiring ownership or control
of shares of  a bank  or bank  holding company  if, after  the acquisition,  the
Company  would directly or  indirectly own or  control 5% or  more of the voting
shares of such bank or bank holding company.

    The Company is also prohibited from acquiring a direct or indirect  interest
in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a
bank  or  bank  holding company  and  from  engaging directly  or  indirectly in
activities other  than  those  of  banking, managing  or  controlling  banks  or
furnishing services to its subsidiary bank, except that it may engage in and may
own  shares of companies engaged in certain activities found by the FRB to be so
closely related to banking or managing and  controlling banks as to be a  proper
incident  thereto. These activities include, among others, operating a mortgage,
finance, credit card, or factoring  company; performing certain data  processing
operations;  providing investment and  financial advice; acting  as an insurance
agent for certain types of  credit-related insurance; leasing personal  property
on a full-payout, non-operating basis; and providing certain stock brokerage and
investment  advisory  services. In  approving  acquisitions or  the  addition of
activities,  the  FRB  considers  whether  the  acquisition  or  the  additional
activities can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as
greater  convenience,  increased  competition,  or  gains  in  efficiency,  that
outweigh such  possible adverse  affects as  undue concentration  of  resources,
decreased  or  unfair  competition,  conflicts of  interest  or  unsound banking
practices. In  considering any  application for  approval of  an acquisition  or
merger,  the  FRB is  also  required to  consider  the financial  and managerial
resources of the companies and the  banks concerned, as well as the  applicant's
record  of compliance with  the Community Reinvestment Act  (the "CRA"). The CRA
generally requires  a  financial  institution  to  take  affirmative  action  to
ascertain  and meet the credit needs of  its entire community, including low and
moderate income neighborhoods.

    The BHCA generally imposes certain  limitations on extensions of credit  and
other  transactions by and between banks that are members of the Federal Reserve
System and other banks and non-bank companies in the same holding company. Under
the BHCA and the FRB's regulations, a bank holding company and its  subsidiaries
are  prohibited from engaging in certain  tie-in arrangements in connection with
any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.

    The Company, as an affiliate of the Bank, is subject to certain restrictions
regarding transactions between a bank and companies with which it is affiliated.
These provisions limit extensions of  credit (including guarantees of loans)  by
the  Bank to  affiliates, investments  in the stock  or other  securities of the
Company by the Bank, and the nature  and amount of collateral that the Bank  may
accept from any affiliate to secure loans extended to the affiliate.

    REGULATION OF THE BANK

    Texas  State Bank is  a Texas state-chartered bank  subject to regulation by
the Banking Department. Texas State Bank,  the deposits of which are insured  by
the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") of the FDIC, is also a member of the Federal
Reserve System, and therefore the FRB is the primary federal regulator for Texas
State Bank.

    The  requirements and restrictions applicable to Texas State Bank under laws
of the United States  and the State  of Texas include  (i) the requirement  that
reserves  be maintained,  (ii) restrictions  on the  nature and  amount of loans
which can be made,  (iii) restrictions on the  business activities in which  the
Bank  may engage, (iv) restrictions on the payment of dividends to shareholders,
and (v) the maintenance of minimum capital requirements.

    Texas Regional is dependent  upon dividends received  from Texas State  Bank
for  discharge of Texas  Regional's obligations and for  payment of dividends to
the  Company's  shareholders.  However,  the  application  of  minimum   capital
requirements  and other  rules and  regulations applicable  to Texas  State Bank
restrict dividend payments by Texas State  Bank. The Banking Department and  the
FRB  can each  further limit  payment of  dividends if  the regulatory authority
finds that  the payment  of  dividends would  constitute  an unsafe  or  unsound
practice. In addition, Texas law requires that, before declaring a dividend, not
less  than 10% of the net  profits of a bank earned  since the last dividend was
declared be  transferred to  a  "certified surplus"  account. Except  to  absorb
losses  in excess of  undivided profits and  uncertified surplus, such certified
surplus may not  be reduced  without the prior  written consent  of the  Banking
Commissioner.  However, state banks are not required to transfer any amount that
would increase the  certified surplus account  to more than  the capital of  the
bank.  See "Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial  Condition  and Results  of  Operations --  Liquidity  and  Capital
Resources."

    Interest rate limitations for Texas State Bank are primarily governed by the
laws of the State of Texas. The maximum annual interest rate that may be charged
on  most loans made by Texas State Bank is based on doubling the average auction
rate, to the nearest 0.25%, for United States Treasury Bills, as computed by the
Office of  Consumer Credit  Commissioner of  the State  of Texas.  However,  the
maximum  rate does not decline below 18% or  rise above 24% (except for loans in
excess of $250,000 that are made  for business, commercial, investment or  other
similar  purposes  (excluding agricultural  loans),  in which  case  the maximum
annual rate may not rise above 28%,  rather than 24%). On fixed rate  closed-end
loans, the maximum non-usurious rate is to be determined at the time the rate is
contracted,  while on floating  rate and open-end loans  (such as credit cards),
the rate varies over  the term of  the indebtedness. State  usury laws (but  not
late charge limitations) have been preempted by federal law for loans secured by
a first lien on residential real property.

    Banks  are affected  by the credit  policies of  other monetary authorities,
including the  FRB, which  regulate the  national supply  of bank  credit.  Such
regulation  influences overall growth  of bank loans,  investments, and deposits
and may also affect interest  rates charged on loans  and paid on deposits.  The
monetary  policies of  the FRB  have had a  significant effect  on the operating
results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in
the future.

    FDICIA

    FDICIA requires  that  federal  bank  regulatory  authorities  take  "prompt
corrective  action" with  respect to any  depository institution  which does not
meet  specified  minimum  capital   requirements.  The  applicable   regulations
establish  five  capital  levels  which  require or  permit  the  FRB  and other
regulatory authorities to take supervisory action. The relevant  classifications
range from "well capitalized" to

                                       58
<PAGE>
"critically  undercapitalized". Under these  regulations, which became effective
December 19, 1992,  an institution is  considered well capitalized  if it has  a
total  risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital
ratio of 6.0% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and it is not
subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt  corrective
action  directive to meet and maintain a  specific capital level for any capital
measure. An institution is considered adequately  capitalized if it has a  total
risk-based  capital ratio of 8.0% or greater,  a Tier I risk-based capital ratio
of 4.0% or  greater and  a leverage  capital ratio of  3.0% or  greater (if  the
institution  is  rated composite  1 in  its most  recent report  of examination,
subject to appropriate federal banking  agency guidelines), and the  institution
does  not meet the definition of  a well capitalized institution. An institution
is considered undercapitalized if it has  a total risk-based capital ratio  that
is  less than 8.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0%, or
a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0%  (or a leverage ratio that is less  than
3.0%  if  the institution  is rated  composite 1  in its  most recent  report of
examination, subject  to  appropriate  federal  banking  agency  guidelines).  A
significantly  undercapitalized institution is one  which has a total risk-based
capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that  is
less  than  3.0%, or  a  leverage ratio  that is  less  than 3.0%.  A critically
undercapitalized institution is  one which  has a  ratio of  tangible equity  to
total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.

    The FRB is authorized by the legislation to take various enforcement actions
against  any significantly undercapitalized institution and any undercapitalized
institution that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails
to implement a plan  accepted by the appropriate  agency. These powers  include,
among  other things, requiring the  institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting
asset growth,  restricting  interest rates  paid,  requiring prior  approval  of
capital   distributions  by  any   bank  holding  company   which  controls  the
institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or  by
the  holding  company of  the institution  itself, requiring  a new  election of
directors,  and  requiring  the  dismissal  of  directors  and  officers.  These
restrictions,  either  individually or  in aggregate,  could  if imposed  have a
significantly adverse impact on the operations of the Bank.

    With certain  exceptions,  an institution  will  be prohibited  from  making
capital  distributions  or  paying  management  fees  if  the  payment  of  such
distributions or fees  will cause  the institution  to become  undercapitalized.
Furthermore,  undercapitalized  institutions will  be  required to  file capital
restoration plans with  the appropriate federal  regulator. Pursuant to  FDICIA,
undercapitalized  institutions also will  be subject to  restrictions on growth,
acquisitions, branching and engaging in new  lines of business unless they  have
an  approved capital plan that permits otherwise.  The FRB also may, among other
things, require an undercapitalized institution to issue shares or  obligations,
which  could be voting stock, to  recapitalize the institution or, under certain
circumstances to divest itself of any subsidiary.

    Critically undercapitalized institutions  may be subject  to more  extensive
control and supervision and the FRB may prohibit any critically undercapitalized
institution from, among other things, entering into any material transaction not
in  the ordinary course of business, amending its charter or bylaws, or engaging
in   certain   transactions   with    affiliates.   In   addition,    critically
undercapitalized  institutions generally will be prohibited from making payments
of principal or interest on outstanding subordinated debt. Within 90 days of  an
institution  becoming  critically  undercapitalized,  the  FRB  must  appoint  a
receiver or conservator  unless certain findings  are made with  respect to  the
prospect for the institution's continued operation.

    Based on Texas State Bank's capital ratios at December 31, 1995, Texas State
Bank was classified as "well capitalized" under the applicable regulations. On a
pro  forma basis  at December 31,  1995, Texas  State Bank would  also have been
"well capitalized" under applicable regulations.  As a result, the Company  does
not  believe that  FDICIA's prompt corrective  action regulations  will have any
material effect on the activities or operations of Texas State Bank.

    FDICIA also requires the  FDIC to establish a  schedule to increase (over  a
period  of not more than  15 years) the reserve ratio  of the BIF, which insures
deposits of Texas State  Bank, to 1.25% of  insured deposits, and impose  higher
deposit  insurance premiums on BIF members, if necessary, to achieve that ratio.
FDICIA also  requires  a  risk-based assessment  system  for  deposit  insurance
premiums  commencing January 1,  1994. Since BIF  reached its designated reserve
ratio in mid-1995, the FDIC adjusted the BIF

                                       59
<PAGE>
assessments,  so that the assessment rate now in effect ranges from a minimum of
zero to a maximum of $0.27  per $100 of deposits. Institutions whose  assessment
rate would be zero are required to pay a statutory minimum semiannual assessment
of  $1,000.  Based on  the risk  category  applicable to  Texas State  Bank, the
premium paid by Texas State Bank is presently $2,000 per annum.

    FDICIA contains numerous  other provisions,  including accounting,  auditing
and  reporting requirements, the termination (beginning in 1995) of the "too big
to fail" doctrine except in special cases, regulatory standards in areas such as
asset quality, earnings and compensation,  and revised regulatory standards  for
the  powers of  state chartered  banks, real  estate lending,  bank closures and
capital adequacy.

    COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT

    Under the CRA,  a bank's applicable  regulatory authority (the  FDIC or  the
FRB)  is required to  assess the record  of each financial  institution which it
regulates to determine if the institution  meets the credit needs of its  entire
community,  including  low-  and  moderate-income  neighborhoods  served  by the
institution, and  to take  that record  into account  in its  evaluation of  any
application  made by such  institution for, among other  things, approval of the
acquisition or establishment of  a branch or other  deposit facility, an  office
relocation,  a merger, or the acquisition or  shares of capital stock of another
financial institution. The regulatory authority prepares a written evaluation of
an institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community  and
assigns  a rating. The Bank received a  "satisfactory" rating in its most recent
CRA  review.  Both  the  United  States  Congress  and  the  banking  regulatory
authorities  have proposed substantial changes to the CRA and fair lending rules
and regulations which, if enacted, could  have a material adverse effect on  the
Company.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Capital  management, which  is a  continuous process  at Texas  Regional and
Texas State  Bank, consists  of providing  equity to  support both  current  and
future  operations. The Company  is subject to  capital adequacy requirements of
various banking regulators,  such as  the FRB,  the Banking  Department and  the
FDIC.  At  December  31,  1995,  Texas Regional  and  its  subsidiaries  were in
compliance with  minimum  capital  requirements  of  the  respective  regulatory
agencies and are expected to remain in compliance in the future.

    The  various  federal  bank  regulatory agencies,  including  the  FRB, have
adopted risk-based capital requirements for  assessing bank holding company  and
bank  capital  adequacy. These  standards define  capital and  establish minimum
capital requirements in  relation to  assets and off-balance  sheet exposure  as
adjusted  for credit risk. The risk-based  capital standards currently in effect
are  designed  to  make  regulatory  capital  requirements  more  sensitive   to
differences  in risk profile among bank  holding companies and banks, to account
for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding  liquid
assets.   Assets  and  off-balance  sheet  items  are  assigned  to  broad  risk
categories, each with  appropriate risk  weights. The  resulting capital  ratios
represent  capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance
sheet items.

    The risk-based capital standards  as established by the  FRB apply to  Texas
Regional  and Texas State Bank. The minimum standard for the ratio of capital to
risk-weighted assets (including certain  off-balance sheet obligations, such  as
standby letters of credit) is 8.0%. At least half of the risk-based capital must
consist  of common equity, retained earnings, and qualifying perpetual preferred
stock, less  deductions for  goodwill  and various  other intangibles  ("Tier  I
capital").  The remainder ("Tier II capital") may consist of a limited amount of
subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities,
preferred stock, and  a limited amount  of the general  valuation allowance  for
loan  losses. The sum of Tier I capital and Tier II capital is "total risk-based
capital."

    The  FRB  also  has  adopted  guidelines  which  supplement  the  risk-based
regulations  to include a  minimum leverage ratio  of Tier I  capital to average
total consolidated assets  ("Leverage ratio")  of 3.0%. The  FRB has  emphasized
that  the  foregoing  standards  are supervisory  minimums  and  that  a banking
organization will be permitted to maintain  such minimum levels of capital  only
if it has well diversified

                                       60
<PAGE>
risk,  including no undue interest rate  exposure; excellent asset quality; high
liquidity; good earnings; and  is in general considered  to be a strong  banking
organization,  rated composite  1 under  applicable federal  guidelines, and the
banking organization is not experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All
other banking organizations  are required  to maintain  a Leverage  ratio of  at
least  4.0%  to 5.0%.  These rules  further  provide that  banking organizations
experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
capital  positions  substantially  above  the  minimum  supervisory  levels  and
comparable  to peer group  averages, without significant  reliance on intangible
assets. The FRB  continues to  consider a "tangible  Tier I  leverage ratio"  in
evaluation  proposals  for  expansion or  new  activities. The  tangible  Tier I
leverage ratio is  the ratio of  a banking organization's  Tier I capital,  less
deductions  for intangibles  otherwise includable  in Tier  I capital,  to total
tangible assets.

    Bank regulators continue to consider raising capital requirements applicable
to banking organizations beyond current  levels. However, the Company is  unable
to  predict whether higher capital  requirements will be imposed  and, if so, at
what levels and on what schedules, and therefore cannot predict what effect such
higher requirements may have on the Company and the Bank.

  (1) Calculated  on the  basis of  the closing sale  price per  share for the
      Common Stock of $17.25 as reported by the Nasdaq National Market  System
      for December 31, 1995.

    The  Company  has three  stock option  plans. A  fourth plan,  the Company's
employee stock bonus plan, was terminated during 1995. Texas Regional's Board of
Directors has the authority to grant options  to purchase up to an aggregate  of
262,988  shares of  Common Stock  under the  terms of  the present  stock option
plans, in each case at the then  present fair market value of the Common  Stock.
One  of these plans, the Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. 1995 Nonstatutory Stock
Option Plan, was adopted in 1995 and is expected to be considered and voted upon
by  the  shareholders  of  the  Company  at  the  1996  annual  meeting  of  the
shareholders.  As of the date of this Prospectus, options for the purchase of an
aggregate of 262,988 shares of Common  Stock have been granted under the  plans,
including  the options included  in the tables  above, with the  result that the
Company's Board of Directors does not have the authority to grant any additional
options to purchase Common Stock pursuant  to the stock option plans, except  to
the  extent  that  any outstanding  options  in  the future  lapse  or otherwise
terminate unexercised.

    In December  1993, the  Company adopted  a Deferred  Compensation Plan  (the
"Deferred  Compensation Plan") for the benefit  of Mr. Roney, which provides for
payments to be  made to  Mr. Roney  (or in  the event  of his  death during  the
period,  to his designated beneficiary or his  estate) in the amount of $100,000
per year  commencing  October  29,  2002,  and  continuing  for  fourteen  years
thereafter.  The obligation to make such payments requires Mr. Roney to continue
to be employed by the Company until October 29, 2002, unless his compensation is
reduced from  that  paid  in  1993,  his  duties  are  materially  changed,  his
employment  is terminated due  to his disability  or death, or  he is discharged
without cause. If Mr. Roney dies prior  to October 29, 2002, the payments  would
commence  immediately and be paid to  his designated beneficiary, or his estate.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had  funded, pursuant to the Trust under  Glen
E. Roney Deferred Compensation Plan, an aggregate of $291,000. The Trust was set
up  for the purpose of payment of the deferred compensation benefit. The Company
incurred expenses  of  approximately $87,000  during  each of  the  years  ended
December  31, 1995 and 1994, with respect to the Deferred Compensation Plan. See
"Business --  Personnel." In  January  1996, the  Company's Board  of  Directors
amended  the Deferred Compensation Plan and Trust  to change the identity of the
Trustee and to make  other changes designed to  assist in obtaining a  favorable
determination  letter from the Internal Revenue Service  as to the status of the
Deferred Compensation Plan for federal income tax purposes.

    First State  Bank has  three separate  deferred compensation  plans for  the
benefit  of three  First State  Bank employees, and  Border Bank  has a deferred
compensation plan for the  benefit of one Border  Bank employee. The plans  each
provide  for  retirement  benefits  to  be paid  to  the  specified  employee, a
designated beneficiary or the employee's estate. One plan commenced payments  to
a  retired  employee  of approximately  $13,000  per  year on  January  4, 1988,
continuing annually  thereafter until  June  2003. A  second plan  provides  for
payments  of  approximately $13,300  per  year to  commence  in April  1990, and
continuing until June 2005;  however, the employee elected  to receive a  lesser
amount  payable over a longer  period of time. The  third plan, covering Elliott
Bottom, provides for retirement benefit payment of

                                       68
<PAGE>
$50,000 per year commencing in March 1999 and continuing annually thereafter for
20  years.  A  fourth  plan  commenced   payments  to  a  retired  employee   of
approximately  $1,112.50  per  month in  March  1995, and  provides  for monthly
payments thereafter for 180 months. First State Bank and Border Bank own and are
beneficiaries of  life insurance  policies on  the employees  covered under  the
deferred  compensation plans, with face values in amounts approximately equal to
the total benefits  paid or payable  under the plans.  Upon consummation of  the
Mergers,  Texas  State Bank  will become  obligated to  make payments  under the
plans, and will  own and become  the beneficiary of  the related life  insurance
policies.

    Beginning in 1991, the Bank established a discretionary incentive bonus pool
for  the benefit of employees and directors  of the Bank. Contributions are made
to the discretionary  bonus pool based  on projected year-end  return on  assets
earned by the Bank, calculated as follows: in the event that the year-end return
on  average  assets  of  the  Bank, prior  to  any  amount  attributable  to the
discretionary bonus ("ROA") for the year is in excess of 1.00%, 2% of net income
for the year  is contributed; in  the event that  the ROA for  the year  exceeds
1.05%, in addition to the base contribution, 5% of net income in excess of 1.00%
ROA  is  contributed; if  the  ROA for  the  year exceeds  1.10%,  an additional
contribution is made in the amount of 10% of net income in excess of 1.05%  ROA.
For  each  0.05%  increase in  ROA,  the  proportion of  the  excess  net income
contributed is increased by 5% of net income, up to an ROA of 1.25%. A total  of
25%  of any amount  of net income in  excess of 1.25% ROA  is contributed to the
pool. Amounts  are  paid out  of  the  discretionary bonus  pool  to  individual
employees  and  directors of  the Bank  as  determined by  the Stock  Option and
Compensation Committee. An aggregate of $574,000 was awarded to employees of the
Bank out of the discretionary bonus pool during 1995, and $43,000 was awarded to
directors of  the Bank  that are  not employees  of the  Bank. An  aggregate  of
$375,000  was awarded to employees and  $43,000 to non-employee directors out of
the discretionary bonus pool during 1994.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

    In 1990, Texas Regional adopted the KSOP. Since adoption of the KSOP,  Texas
Regional  has made  contributions to  the KSOP,  on behalf  of employees  of the
Company, in the aggregate amount of $2.8 million, and employees have in addition
made salary  deferral contributions  to  the KSOP  in  the aggregate  amount  of
$512,000 through December 31, 1995. All Texas Regional contributions are used to
purchase  Common  Stock, and  employees have  the option  to direct  that salary
deferral contributions  (and certain  applicable  target benefit  plan  rollover
contributions) be invested either in a money market fund or in Common Stock. The
aggregate  number of  shares of  Common Stock  held pursuant  to the  KSOP as of
December 31, 1995, was 302,007 (about 4.9% of total outstanding shares of Common
Stock). All assets  in the  KSOP, including Common  Stock held  pursuant to  the
KSOP,  are held by the KSOP Trust, which  holds the shares of stock on behalf of
the employee participants in the KSOP.

    Trustees of  the KSOP  Trust, who  are selected  by, and  all of  whom  are,
directors  of Texas Regional, are Morris Atlas,  Frank N. Boggus, Joe M. Kilgore
and Glen E. Roney.  Employees are entitled  to direct the  voting of any  shares
allocated  to their employee accounts, and the trustees of the KSOP Trust direct
the voting of any  unallocated shares held  by the KSOP  Trust. At December  31,
1995,  there were  no unallocated  shares held by  the KSOP  Trust. During 1996,
management of Texas Regional anticipates recommending to the Board of  Directors
of  Texas Regional  certain amendments  to the  KSOP to  make available  to plan
participants more diverse investment options.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

    Texas State  Bank has  had,  in the  ordinary  course of  business,  banking
transactions  with  certain  of  its officers  and  directors  and  with certain
officers and directors of Texas Regional. Loans by Texas State Bank to executive
officers and directors of Texas State Bank and Texas Regional, in the aggregate,
amounted to  $4.0  million  at  December  31,  1995,  or  0.9%  of  total  loans
outstanding  and  6.3%  of  the  shareholders'  equity  of  the  Bank.  All loan
transactions with officers and directors of Texas Regional and Texas State Bank,
and their related and  affiliated parties, have been  on substantially the  same
terms as those

                                       69
<PAGE>
prevailing  for comparable transactions  with other loan  customers of the Bank,
and have not  included more than  the normal risk  of collectibility  associated
with  Texas  State  Bank's  other  banking  transactions  or  other  unfavorable
features.

    Prior to 1993, the Company leased office facilities from Kerria Plaza, Ltd.,
a real estate limited partnership in which Mr. James W. Collins, former Director
and former Secretary-Treasurer of  the Company, is  general partner and  certain
principals  of the Company  own an interest. Management  of the Company believes
that the terms  of the leases  were comparable  to terms of  leases between  the
partnership  and third parties. Persons having  a direct or indirect interest in
Kerria Plaza, Ltd.,  their relationship  to the  Company and  their interest  in
Kerria  Plaza, Ltd.,  were: James  W. Collins,  individually and  as Trustee for
Carvan, Vanco and KVTC Trusts (of which Mr. Collins is not a beneficiary, but of
which his spouse and children are beneficiaries), owned a 27% interest in Kerria
Plaza, Ltd.; Glen E. Roney, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company,  owned an  11% interest  in Kerria  Plaza, Ltd.;  Frank N.  Boggus,
former  President and a present Director of  the Company, owned a 4% interest in
Kerria Plaza, Ltd.; and Robert G. Farris, a Director of the Company, owned a  2%
interest in Kerria Plaza, Ltd.

    Kerria  Plaza, Ltd.  purchased the  Kerria Plaza  building in  1984. In June
1992,  the  directors  of  Texas  State  Bank  obtained  an  appraisal  from  an
independent  third party  appraiser indicating that  the market  value of Kerria
Plaza office  building was  $2.5  million. In  January  1993, Texas  State  Bank
purchased  the  Kerria Plaza  office building  from Kerria  Plaza, Ltd.  for the
appraised value of $2.5 million.

    Mr. Collins is  Chairman of the  Board of Rioco  Corporation, a real  estate
brokerage   and  property  management  company.  During  1995  and  1994,  Rioco
Corporation received from Texas State  Bank leasing commissions totaling  $1,237
and $1,260, respectively, resulting from leases of office space in Kerria Plaza.
Rioco  Corporation continues to manage the Kerria Plaza building for Texas State
Bank under  a property  management  agreement which  management of  the  Company
believes  is  on  terms  comparable  to  terms  available  from  other  property
management companies operating  in the area,  which management agreement,  among
other  things,  provides for  payment  of management  and  accounting fees  at a
minimum of $2,900 per month and payment  of leasing commissions in the event  of
the lease of office space in the building to third party tenants.

    Texas  State Bank, along  with other banks  in the Rio  Grande Valley, sells
credit life insurance for Texas State  Life Insurance Company. Texas State  Life
Insurance  Company is owned 50% by Mr.  Roney and 50% by Mr. Collins. Commission
fee income received by Texas State Bank from Texas State Life Insurance  Company
totaled $82,475 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

    Mr.  Joe M. Kilgore, a Director of the Company, is a partner in the law firm
of McGinnis,  Lochridge &  Kilgore,  L.L.P. His  firm  received fees  for  legal
services  rendered to the Company and its subsidiary during 1995, but the amount
of fees received did not exceed either 5% of his firm's gross revenues for  1995
or 5% of Texas Regional's total operating expenses for the year ended 1995.

    Mr. Morris Atlas, a Director of the Company, is a partner in the law firm of
Atlas  & Hall, L.L.P. His firm received  fees for legal services rendered to the
Company and its subsidiary during 1995, but the amount of fees received did  not
exceed either 5% of his firm's gross revenues for 1995 or 5% of Texas Regional's
total operating expenses for the year ended 1995.

    During  1995, Texas State Bank purchased a tract of real estate from Scott &
White Memorial  Hospital and  Scott, Sherwood  & Brindley  Foundation ("Scott  &
White"),  a Texas non-profit corporation, for $227,000. Texas State Bank intends
to hold the property for possible future development as a banking location.  Mr.
Roney and Mr. Kilgore each serve as members of the Board of Directors of Scott &
White.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

    Texas Regional is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and
10,000,000  shares  of Preferred  Stock with  such preferences,  limitations and
relative rights as may be determined by  the Board of Directors of the  Company.
Prior  to April  1991, the  Company had  authority to  issue Class  B Non-Voting
Common Stock as well. The Class B Non-Voting Common class was created to provide
a mechanism  for  equalizing  consideration  to  shareholders  at  the  time  of
acquisition  of  Texas  State  Bank  and  Harlingen  State  Bank  in  1983.  All
outstanding shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock were converted into  Class
A  Voting Common shares  in April 1991, and  the class of  shares referred to as
Class B Non-Voting Common Stock was eliminated. As used herein, the term "Common
Stock" refers to the Company's Class A Voting Common Stock.

COMMON STOCK

    As of  the  date  hereof,  Texas Regional  has  issued  and  outstanding  an
aggregate of 6,196,791 shares of Common Stock and an aggregate of 262,988 shares
of Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to options previously granted
by  the Company. The  only class of  shares which Texas  Regional has issued and
outstanding is  the  Common  Stock.  The  shares  of  First  Series  Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  Series  1990  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  and  Series 1991
Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding prior  to 1994 have been converted  into
Common  Stock or redeemed  by the Company. The  Common Stock has  a par value of
$1.00 per share. Holders of Common Stock  do not have preemptive rights for  the
acquisition  of additional capital  stock of the Company.  Each holder of Common
Stock is entitled to one  vote for each share held  on all matters submitted  to
shareholders,  including election of  directors. Holders of  Common Stock do not
have cumulative voting rights in the  election of directors. The Texas  Regional
share  certificates  issued  to  purchasers  of  Common  Stock  in  the offering
described in this  Prospectus will  bear legends  describing the  fact that  the
Texas  Regional Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") deny
preemptive rights  and  do  not  allow cumulative  voting  in  the  election  of
directors.

    Holders  of Common Stock are  entitled to dividends as  and when declared by
the Board of  Directors of Texas  Regional out of  legally available funds.  See
"Price Range of Common Stock and Dividend Policy."

PREFERRED STOCK

    The  Company is  authorized to  issue up  to 10,000,000  shares of Preferred
Stock, $1.00  par value  per share.  The Company  does not  have any  shares  of
preferred  stock outstanding  as of  the date  of this  Prospectus and  does not
presently have plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. The Company's Board
of Directors is authorized by the Articles of Incorporation to provide,  without
further  shareholder action, for the issuance of one or more series of preferred
stock. The Company's Board of Directors has  the power to fix the various  terms
with  respect  to  each  such  series,  including  voting  powers, designations,
preferences, dividend rates, conversion and exchange, redemption provisions, the
amount holders are  entitled to  receive upon any  liquidation, dissolution,  or
winding  up of the Company, and voting  rights to which the holders of Preferred
Stock would be entitled.

TRANSFER AGENT

    The transfer agent for the Common Stock is Texas Regional Bancshares,  Inc.,
Kerria  Plaza,  Suite  301,  3700  North  Tenth  Street,  McAllen,  Texas 78501,
Attention Ann M. Sefcik, Controller.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

    After completion  of  this  offering,  the  Company  will  have  outstanding
8,706,791  shares  of Common  Stock (assuming  election  by the  Underwriters to
purchase shares subject  to the Underwriters'  over-allotment option). Of  these
shares,  the 2,510,000 shares  of Common Stock sold  in this offering (including
such over-allotment  shares)  will be  freely  tradable without  restriction  or
limitation under the Securities Act except to the extent such shares are subject
to  the  agreement with  the Underwriters  described below,  and except  for any
shares purchased by "affiliates" of the Company, as that term is defined in  the
Securities  Act.  In  addition,  an  aggregate  of  4,811,531  shares  presently
outstanding are also not restricted

                                       73
<PAGE>
and, under certain  conditions, may  be freely tradable  without restriction  or
limitation  under  the  Securities  Act.  The  remaining  1,385,260  shares  are
"restricted" shares within the meaning of Rule 144 adopted under the  Securities
Act  ("Rule 144").  Restricted shares  outstanding on  the date  hereof owned by
"affiliates" may only be sold if they are registered under the Securities Act or
unless an exemption  from registration, such  as that provided  by Rule 144,  is
available.

    The   Company,  its  executive  officers,  its  directors  and  the  Selling
Shareholder have agreed not,  directly or indirectly, to  offer, sell, offer  to
sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (or
announce  any offer, sale, offer of sale,  contract of sale, grant of any option
to purchase or  any other disposition  of), any  shares of Common  Stock or  any
securities  convertible  into or  exchangeable,  or exercisable  for,  shares of
Common Stock  for a  period  of 120  days after  the  date of  the  Underwriting
Agreement  without the prior written consent of the Underwriters (the "Lockup").
Following the  Lockup, these  shares will  be eligible  for sale  in the  public
market,  subject to the conditions  and restrictions of Rules  144 and Rule 144A
also adopted under the Securities  Act ("Rule 144A"), as hereinafter  described.
See "Underwriting."

    No  prediction can be  made as to the  effect, if any,  that market sales of
shares or the  availability of shares  for sale  will have on  the market  price
prevailing  from time  to time.  Nevertheless, sales  of substantial  amounts of
Common Stock in the public market after the lapse of the restrictions  described
above  could adversely affect the prevailing market price and the ability of the
Company to raise equity capital in the future at a time and price which it deems
appropriate.

    In general, under Rule  144 as currently in  effect, any person (or  persons
whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned
Restricted Shares for at least a two-year period (as computed under Rule 144) is
entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of such shares that does
not  exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
(approximately 87,000 shares after giving effect to this offering, assuming  the
Underwriters  exercise the available over-allotment option in full) and (ii) the
average weekly trading volume in the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National  Market
System  during the  four calendar weeks  immediately preceding  such sale. Sales
under Rule 144 are also subject to certain provisions relating to the manner and
notice of sale  and the  availability of  current public  information about  the
Company.  A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed an
affiliate of the Company at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding  a
sale, and who has beneficially owned Restricted Shares for at least a three-year
period (as computed under Rule 144), would be entitled to sell shares under Rule
144(k)  without regard to  the volume limitation  and other conditions described
above. Restricted  Shares and  options  to purchase  Common  Stock sold  by  the
Company  to, among  others, its  employees, officers  and directors  pursuant to
written compensation plans or  contracts and in reliance  on Rule 701 under  the
Securities  Act, may be resold  in reliance on Rule 144  by such persons who are
not affiliates subject only  to the provisions of  Rule 144 regarding manner  of
sale,  and by such persons who are  affiliates without complying with Rule 144's
holding period requirements. Rule 144A permits the immediate sale by the current
holders of Restricted  Shares of all  or a  portion of their  shares to  certain
qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc.

    We  have  audited  the  accompanying consolidated  balance  sheets  of Texas
Regional Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as  of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  the
related  consolidated statements of income,  changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each  of the years  in the three-year  period ended December  31,
1995.  These  consolidated financial  statements are  the responsibility  of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility  is  to express  an opinion  on  these
consolidated 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  consolidated financial  statements referred  to above
present fairly,  in  all material  respects,  the financial  position  of  Texas
Regional  Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of  December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the results of their operations  and their cash flows for  each of the years  in
the  three-year  period ended  December 31,  1995  in conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The  accounting and  reporting policies  of Texas  Regional Bancshares, Inc.
(the "Parent"  or "Corporation")  and subsidiary  (collectively, the  "Company")
conform  to generally accepted accounting principles and to prevailing practices
within  the  banking  industry.  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
conformity  with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets  and
liabilities  and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial  statements and  the  reported amounts  of revenues  and  expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    A summary of the more significant accounting policies follows:

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Regional
Bancshares,  Inc.  (the "Corporation")  and its  wholly owned  subsidiary, Texas
State  Bank  (the  "Bank"),   collectively  (the  "Company").  All   significant
intercompany  accounts and  transactions have been  eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in the  subsidiary are  accounted for on  the equity  method in  the
Parent's financial statements.

TRUST ASSETS

    Assets  held by the trust department of  the subsidiary bank in fiduciary or
agency capacities  are not  assets of  Texas Regional  Bancshares, Inc.  or  its
subsidiary and are not included in the consolidated balance sheets.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    In  May  1993,  the  Financial Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB") issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards  No.  115  ("Statement   115"),
"Accounting  for Certain Investments  in Debt and  Equity Securities." Statement
115 establishes standards of financial accounting and reporting for  investments
in  equity securities that  have a readily  determinable fair value  and for all
investments in debt securities. At acquisition,  a bank is required to  classify
debt  and  equity securities  into one  of three  categories: Held  to Maturity,
Trading or Available for  Sale. At each reporting  date, the appropriateness  of
the  classification is reassessed. Investments in debt securities are classified
as Held to Maturity and measured at amortized cost in the balance sheet only  if
management  has  the positive  intent and  ability to  hold those  securities to
maturity. Securities that  are bought and  held principally for  the purpose  of
selling  them in the  near term are  classified as Trading  and measured at fair
value in the balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses included  in
net  income.  Investments not  classified as  Held to  Maturity nor  Trading are
classified as Available for Sale and measured at fair value in the balance sheet
with unrealized holding  gains and losses  reported in a  separate component  of
shareholders' equity until realized.

    Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 115, which caused
various  investment  securities  to be  reclassified  from Held  to  Maturity to
Available for Sale. All treasury and agency  bonds with a maturity of two  years
or  less from December  31, 1993, all  floating rate bonds  and two small equity
securities were reclassified to Available for Sale. As a result, at December 31,
1993 the Company recorded  an increase in shareholders'  equity of $179,000,  as
unrealized  holding  gains. Future  purchases of  investment securities  will be
classified as Available  for Sale or  Held to  Maturity at time  of purchase  as
determined  by  the  investment committee.  At  December  31, 1995  and  1994 no
securities were classified as Trading.

    On October 18, 1995, the  FASB decided to grant  to all entities a  one-time
opportunity  during the period  from approximately mid  November to December 31,
1995, to reconsider their intent and ability to hold securities accounted for as
Held to  Maturity  under  Statement  115.  This  allowed  entities  to  transfer

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
securities  from the Held to Maturity category  to Available for Sale or trading
without calling into  question their  intent to  hold other  debt securities  to
maturity.  On December 31, 1995, the Bank transferred approximately $1.5 million
in Held to Maturity securities to  the Available for Sale category resulting  in
no  change to stock  equity per share. As  a result of  this transfer, all other
securities are classified as Available for Sale.

LOANS

    Loans are  stated  at the  principal  amount outstanding,  net  of  unearned
discount.   Interest   income  on   discounted  loans   is  recognized   on  the
sum-of-the-months-digits method which  approximates the  interest method,  while
interest income on other loans is calculated using applicable interest rates and
the daily amount of outstanding principal.

LOAN FEES

    Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
and  recognized over the lives of the related loans as an adjustment of the loan
yields.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

    Nonperforming assets are  comprised of (a)  loans for which  the accrual  of
interest  has been discontinued, (b) loans for  which the interest rate has been
reduced to less than originally contracted  rates due to a serious weakening  in
the  borrower's financial condition  and (c) other assets  which consist of real
estate and other property which have been acquired in lieu of loan balances  due
and which are awaiting disposition.

    A  loan is generally placed on  nonaccrual status when principal or interest
is past due 90 days or  more, and the loan is  not both well-secured and in  the
process  of collection. A  loan is also placed  on nonaccrual status immediately
if, in the opinion  of management, full collection  of principal or interest  is
unlikely. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously
recognized  but  uncollected is  reversed  and charged  against  current income.
Subsequent interest payments  received on  nonaccrual loans  are either  applied
against  principal or reported as income, depending upon management's assessment
of the ultimate collectibility of principal.

    Real estate  and other  assets acquired  in lieu  of loan  balances due  are
recorded  at the  lesser of  cost basis or  estimated fair  value less estimated
closing costs. Valuation losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses  on
foreclosure.  Write-downs  of  real  estate  and  other  assets  are  charged to
noninterest expense if the estimated fair value subsequently declines below  its
carrying  value. Realized  gains and  losses on sales  of other  real estate are
included in noninterest expense.

    Effective January  1,  1995,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No.  114 ("Statement  114"), "Accounting  by Creditors for
Impairment of  a  Loan"  and  the  amendment  thereof,  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No.  118 ("Statement  118"), "Accounting  by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures". Under Statement 114, a
loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events,  it
is  probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the  loan agreement. Statement 114 requires that  an
impaired  loan be valued utilizing (i) the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan, (ii) the fair value
of the underlying collateral, or (iii) the observable market price of the  loan.
Statement  118  amended  Statement  114  by  expanding  the  related  disclosure
requirements and permitting  use of  existing methods  for recognizing  interest
income on impaired loans.

    Loans  which were  restructured prior to  the adoption of  Statement 114 and
which are performing in accordance with the renegotiated terms are not  required
to be reported as impaired. Loans restructured

                                      F-8

                 TEXAS REGIONAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
subsequent  to the  adoption of  Statement 114  are required  to be  reported as
impaired in the  year of restructuring.  Thereafter, such loans  can be  removed
from  the impaired  loan disclosure if  the loans  were paying a  market rate of
interest at the  time of  restructuring and  are performing  in accordance  with
their renegotiated terms.

    For  loans covered  by this statement,  the Company makes  an assessment for
impairment when and while such loans are on nonaccrual or when the loan has been
restructured. When a loan with  unique risk characteristics has been  identified
as  being impaired,  the amount  of impairment will  be measured  by the Company
using discounted  cash  flows,  except  when it  is  determined  that  the  sole
(remaining)  source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of
the underlying  collateral.  In  such  case,  the  current  fair  value  of  the
collateral,  reduced by costs to sell, will  be used in place of discounted cash
flows. At the time  a loan is placed  on nonaccrual status, interest  previously
recognized  but  uncollected is  reversed  and charged  against  current income.
Subsequent interest payments  received on  nonaccrual loans  are either  applied
against  principal or reported as income, depending upon management's assessment
of the ultimate collectibility of principal.

    The adoption of  Statement 114  and Statement 118  did not  have a  material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The  allowance  for loan  losses is  established by  a charge  to operations
(provision for loan  losses). Actual loan  losses or recoveries  are charged  or
credited  directly to this allowance. The provision  for loan losses is based on
management's estimate of the amount  required to maintain an allowance  adequate
to  absorb  potential  losses  in  the  loan  portfolio.  While  management uses
available information to recognize  losses on loans, there  can be no  assurance
that future additions to the allowance will not be necessary.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

    Premises  and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciable assets  are  depreciated  over their  estimated  useful  lives.  For
financial reporting, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method; in
computing federal income tax, both the straight-line and accelerated methods are
used.  Maintenance and  repairs which  do not  extend the  life of  premises and
equipment are charged to noninterest expense.

INCOME TAX

    The Company  files a  consolidated federal  income tax  return. The  Company
establishes  a deferred  tax asset  or liability  for the  recognition of future
deductions or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit  carry-forwards.
Deferred  tax expense or benefit is recognized as  a result of the change in the
asset or liability during the year.

EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS

    Primary earnings  per  share  are  computed  by  dividing  net  income  less
preferred  stock dividends,  if any,  by the  weighted average  number of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period,  retroactively
adjusted  for  stock  splits  effected  as  a  stock  dividend.  The convertible
preferred stock did not satisfy the  criteria for consideration as common  stock
equivalents.

    Fully diluted earnings per share is computed as if all convertible preferred
stock had been converted to common stock.

CASH FLOWS

    For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds
are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

</TABLE>

    For  the years ended December  31, 1995 and December  31, 1994, the deferred
tax  liability  results  primarily  from  the  use  of  accelerated  methods  of
depreciation  of equipment for  tax purposes and the  write-off of core deposits
for book purposes. The  deferred tax asset results  from differences in the  bad
debts  written-off for financial purposes and  the amount allowed under tax law,
and a difference  in other real  estate basis due  to write-downs for  financial
statement   purposes  for  both   years  ended  December   31,  1995  and  1994,
respectively.

    The valuation allowance was established to reduce the amount that will  more
likely  than not be realized  due to increased recoveries  in allowance for loan
losses.

    The  Corporation's First Series Convertible  Preferred Stock and Series 1990
Convertible Preferred Stock were issued in 1989 and 1990, respectively, for cash
equal to the  stated value  of $100.00 per  share. The  Series 1991  Convertible
Preferred  Stock was issued in 1991 in connection with the Company's acquisition
of Mid Valley Bank of  Weslaco, Texas. The shares  of First Series, Series  1990
and Series 1991 Preferred Stock ranked on a parity with each other, and superior
to  the Class  A Voting  Common Stock  of the  Corporation, as  to dividends and
liquidation  preference.  Shares  of  each   series  of  Preferred  Stock   were
convertible into shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of the Corporation.

    On  March 21, 1994, the Board of  Directors adopted a resolution calling for
the redemption on April 22, 1994, of all issued and outstanding Preferred  Stock
at a redemption price of $104.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
through  the date fixed  for redemption. At  that time, the  Preferred Stock was
convertible into 13.2 shares of  Class A Voting Common  Stock for each share  of
Preferred  Stock held. Effective  April 22, 1994, 356  shares of Preferred Stock
were redeemed for cash and 74,172 shares of Preferred Stock were converted  into
979,009  shares of Class A Voting Common Stock.  As a result, as of December 31,
1994, there were no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

    Pursuant to the Texas  Business Corporation Act, the  Board of Directors  of
the  Corporation has the authority  to eliminate any series  of shares which the
Board has authority to establish, if there are no shares outstanding or held  as
treasury  shares. Upon adoption  of a resolution eliminating  the series and all
references to the series,  the shares resume status  as authorized but  unissued
shares of Preferred Stock for which the Board has the authority to determine the
designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights.

    On  February 14, 1995, the Board of  Directors of the Corporation approved a
resolution to  eliminate  the  series  of  shares  known  as  the  First  Series
Convertible Preferred, the Series 1990 Convertible Preferred and the Series 1991
Convertible  Preferred shares of  the Corporation, and  further provided for the
elimination of all references thereto from  the Articles of Incorporation. As  a
result  of the elimination of the series  of Preferred shares, the shares resume
status as authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock for which the  Board
has  the authority to  determine the designations,  preferences, limitations and
relative rights.

(10)  COMMON STOCK
    On  March  16, 1994,  the  Corporation completed  a  public offering  of 1.2
million shares of the Corporation's Class  A Voting Common Stock at an  offering
price  of $12.00  per share, and  contemporaneously listed the  Common Stock for
trading in the NASDAQ  Stock Market's National Market  System under the  trading
symbol  "TRBS." In the  offering, the Corporation sold  one million newly issued
shares and an aggregate of 200,000 shares were sold on behalf of certain selling
shareholders of the  Corporation. As  a part  of the  offering, the  Corporation
granted  the Underwriters  an option, exercisable  within 30  days following the
date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to 180,000 additional  shares
of  Corporation Class A Voting Common  Stock solely to cover over-allotments. On
April 15,  1994, the  Underwriters exercised  this option  and purchased  28,291
additional shares of Class A Voting Common Stock.

    On  May 11, 1993, the Board of Directors approved a 20% stock split effected
as a stock dividend to Class A Voting Common Stock shareholders of record on May
11, 1993, with any fractional shares resulting from such stock split to be  paid
in cash based on a value of $10.00 per share.

(11)  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
    In  1984,  the  Company  adopted  a  target  benefit  pension  plan covering
substantially all of their  employees. In December,  1990, the Company  restated
its  target  benefit pension  plan  as an  Employee  Stock Ownership  Plan (with
section 401(k)  provisions)  (the  "KSOP"). The  Company  received  a  favorable
determination  letter on  July 29, 1993,  in which the  Internal Revenue Service
stated that  the  plan, as  designed,  was  in compliance  with  the  applicable
requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code. Employer  contributions to the KSOP
are discretionary, and as such, determined  at the sole discretion of the  Board
of  Directors. The KSOP  covers employees who  have completed twelve consecutive
months of credited  service, as  defined in  the plan,  and attained  age 21.  A
participant's  account balance will be fully  vested after six years of credited
service. The purpose  of the restatement  is to permit  employees to acquire  an
equity  interest in  the Company  through the  KSOP's purchase  of common stock.
Pension expense, which includes  Employer matching as  discussed below, for  the
years  ended  December  31, 1995,  1994  and  1993 was  $526,000,  $462,000, and
$570,000, respectively.

    A Participant of  the KSOP may  authorize the Company  to contribute to  the
Trust  on  his  behalf  Salary Reduction  Contributions.  Such  Salary Reduction
Contributions shall be stated as a whole  percentage and shall not be less  than
1%  or more  than 15%  of the  Participant's compensation.  The total  amount of
Salary Reduction  Contributions  for any  Plan  Year shall  not  exceed  $7,000,
multiplied  by any cost of living  adjustment factor prescribed by the Secretary
of the Treasury under Section 415(d) of the Code. Such contributions are matched
at the discretion  of the  Board of Directors  up to  a maximum of  100% of  the
Participant's   Salary  Reduction   Contribution  and   shall  be   based  on  a
Participant's Salary Reduction Contribution  of up to  4% of such  Participant's
compensation.  The Participant's and Employer  matching contributions are vested
immediately.

    In March 1986, the shareholders of the Company approved three separate stock
plans involving the Class A Voting  Common Stock, providing for the issuance  of
up  to 253,434  shares to  certain key employees  for their  purchase and 10,000
shares as part of  a bonus plan  for employees of the  Company. One option  plan
provides  for sale of up  to 126,717 shares to the  chief executive officer at a
price to be determined by a committee of directors on the date of grant; another
provides for sale of up to 126,717 shares  at fair market value at the date  the
options  are  granted  to key  employees  of  the Company,  excluding  the chief
executive officer.  The  third plan  provides  for up  to  10,000 shares  to  be
distributed  as  employee  bonuses  without  payment  of  consideration  by  the
employees. The third plan was terminated effective January 9, 1996.

(11)  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
    On May 10,  1994, options to  acquire up  to 126,717 Class  A Voting  Common
shares  at  $12.00 per  share were  granted  to Glen  E. Roney,  Chief Executive
Officer and a member of  the Board of Directors  of Texas Regional, pursuant  to
the  Texas  Regional  Bancshares,  Inc.  1985  Non-Statutory  Stock  Option Plan
exercisable commencing  May 10,  1995. In  addition, options  to acquire  up  to
49,433  Class A Voting Common shares at $12.00 per share were granted to certain
key employees of  the Company pursuant  to the Texas  Regional Bancshares,  Inc.
Incentive  Stock  Option  Plan  exercisable commencing  May  10,  1995 including
options to acquire 8,333  shares granted to Glen  E. Roney. The Incentive  Stock
Option  Plan expired in September 1995. Any options outstanding under this Plan,
at the time of its  termination, remain in effect  until the options shall  have
been  exercised or the expiration date of  the option, whichever is earlier. The
options to acquire 49,433 Class A Voting Common Stock were awarded May 10, 1994,
and expire on May 10, 2000. During 1995, options to acquire 3,162 Class A Voting
Common Stock were exercised at a price of $12.00 per share.

    Effective December 12, 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Nonstatutory Stock
Option Plan of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (the "Plan"), which provides  for
granting  to key employees of the Company  options to acquire up to an aggregate
maximum of 90,000 shares of the Class A Voting Common Stock of the  Corporation,
subject  to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits and upon the occurrence
of other events as specified in the Plan. The Board of Directors has recommended
the Plan to the shareholders of the Corporation and has authorized and  directed
the  officers of  the Corporation  to submit  the Plan  to the  shareholders for
approval at  the next  regular or  special meeting  of the  shareholders of  the
Corporation.  In addition, options to acquire up to 90,000 Class A Voting Common
shares at $17.25 per share were granted to certain key employees of the  Company
pursuant  to the Plan including options to acquire 65,000 shares granted to Glen
E. Roney.  Options to  purchase one-fourth  of the  shares as  granted shall  be
exercisable  commencing on the later of July 1, 1996, or the date of approval of
the Plan by the shareholders of the Corporation, and (provided that the Plan has
received the  approval  of  the  shareholders of  the  Corporation)  options  to
purchase  an additional  one-fourth of the  shares as granted  pursuant to these
resolutions shall be exercisable beginning July  1 of each year thereafter,  and
in  each case options  to purchase shares granted  pursuant to these resolutions
shall thereafter be exercisable at  any time prior to  July 1, 2002, subject  to
other provisions applicable to such options as specified in the Plan.

    Effective   as  of  December  14,  1993,  the  Company  adopted  a  Deferred
Compensation Plan for the  benefit of Glen E.  Roney. The Deferred  Compensation
Plan  provides for a retirement benefit payable  to Mr. Roney (or his designated
beneficiary or his estate if Mr. Roney dies prior to payment of the full  amount
of  deferred compensation) of $100,000 per year commencing October 29, 2002, and
continuing annually thereafter for  fourteen years. If Mr.  Roney dies prior  to
commencement  of the retirement benefit, payments would commence immediately and
be paid to his  designated beneficiary or his  estate. The Company also  adopted
the Trust Under Glen E. Roney Deferred Compensation Plan, in the form prescribed
by   applicable  regulations  adopted  by   the  Internal  Revenue  Service  for
nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Among other things, the Plan and Trust
provide for an  initial deposit  into the Trust  by the  Company and  subsequent
deposits  in the discretion of  the Board of Directors,  and further provide for
full funding of the amount necessary to discharge the retirement benefit in  the
event  of a change of control, as that term is defined in the Trust. The Company
has incurred  Deferred  Compensation  expense  and has  funded  into  the  Trust
$87,000,  $87,000 and  $116,000 respectively, for  the years  ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(12)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Company  enters  into   various
transactions which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
are not included on the consolidated balance

(12)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
sheets.  These transactions are referred  to as "off-balance sheet commitments."
The Company enters into  these transactions to meet  the financing needs of  its
customers.  These transactions include commitments  to extend credit and letters
of credit  which  involve elements  of  credit risk  in  excess of  the  amounts
recognized  in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company attempts to minimize
its exposure to  loss under  these commitments by  subjecting them  to the  same
credit approval and monitoring procedures as its other credit facilities.

    The  Company enters into contractual  commitments to extend credit, normally
with fixed expiration dates or termination  clauses, at specified rates and  for
specific purposes. Customers use credit commitments to ensure that funds will be
available  for working capital purposes, for  capital expenditures and to ensure
access to funds  at specified  terms and  conditions. Substantially  all of  the
Company's  commitments to extend credit  are contingent on customers maintaining
specific credit standards at the time  of loan funding. Management assesses  the
credit  risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining
the level of the allowance for possible loan losses.

    Letters of  credit are  written for  conditional commitments  issued by  the
Company  to  guarantee the  performance  of a  customer  to a  third  party. The
Company's policies generally require that letters of credit arrangements contain
security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.

    At December  31, 1995,  the Company  had outstanding  commitments to  extend
credit  of approximately $79.0 million which  included standby letters of credit
of approximately $2.6 million.  Management does not anticipate  any losses as  a
result of these commitments.

    Future  minimum lease payments  on operating leases as  of December 31, 1995
are as follows:

(15)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards  No.  107  ("Statement 107"),
"Disclosures about Fair Value Instruments",  requires that the Company  disclose
estimated  fair  values for  its  financial instruments.  Fair  value estimates,
methods and  assumptions  are  set  forth  below  for  the  Company's  financial
instruments.

DEBT SECURITIES

    For  securities held as investments, fair  market value equals quoted market
price, if available. If a  quoted market price is  not available, fair value  is
estimated using quoted market prices for a similar security.

    Investments  not classified as Held to Maturity or Trading are classified as
Available for Sale and measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets
with unrealized holding  gains and losses  reported as a  separate component  of
shareholders' equity until realized.

    The  following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of
securities classified as Available for Sale at December 31, 1995:

LOANS

    The  Company does  not consider its  loan portfolio to  have the homogeneous
categories of loans for which the fair value could be estimated by using  quoted
market  prices for securities backed by similar loans. Therefore, the fair value
of all loans  is estimated by  discounting future cash  flows using the  current
rates  at which  similar loans  would be made  to borrowers  with similar credit
ratings for the  same remaining maturities.  Assumptions regarding credit  risk,
cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market
information and specific borrower information.

DEPOSIT LIABILITIES

    The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market
deposits is the amount payable on demand  at the reporting date. The fair  value
of  certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash
flows. The discount  rate is  estimated using  the rates  currently offered  for
deposits  of  similar remaining  maturities.  The following  table  presents the
carrying value and estimated fair value  of deposit liabilities at December  31,
1995:

</TABLE>

    The  fair value estimates above do not include the benefit that results from
the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of
borrowing funds in the  market. The Company has  not attempted to determine  the
amount  of  increase  in  net  assets that  would  result  from  the  benefit of
considering the low-cost funding provided by deposit liabilities.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT, STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT AND FINANCIAL GUARANTEES
WRITTEN

    These financial  instruments are  not  sold or  traded, and  estimated  fair
values  are not readily available. The  carrying amount of commitments to extend
credit and standby  letters of credit  is the net  unamortized deferred cost  or
income arising from these unrecognized financial instruments. The estimated fair
value  of these  commitments is considered  to be the  carrying value. Financial
guarantees written consist  of obligations  for credit cards  issued to  certain
customers.  Substantially all of the  liability for financial guarantees written
is collateralized by deposits pledged to the Company.

LIMITATIONS

    Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market  information  and  information  about  the  financial  instrument.  These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at  one time the  Company's entire holdings  of a particular  financial
instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's
financial instruments, fair  value estimates  are based  on judgments  regarding
future   expected   loss   experience,   current   economic   conditions,   risk
characteristics of  various  financial  instruments  and  other  factors.  These
estimates  are subjective  in nature  and involve  uncertainties and  matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

    Fair  value  estimates  are  based on  existing  on-  and  off-balance sheet
financial instruments without  attempting to estimate  the value of  anticipated
future  business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial  instruments.  For  example,  the  Company  has  a  substantial  trust
department that contributes net fee income annually. The trust department is not
considered  a financial instrument, and its value has not been incorporated into
the fair value estimates. Other significant assets and liabilities that are  not
considered financial assets or liabilities include the deferred tax liabilities,
property,  plant,  equipment and  goodwill. In  addition, the  tax ramifications
related to  the  realization of  the  unrealized gains  and  losses can  have  a
significant  effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many
of the estimates.

(16)  ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
    On January 10, 1996, the  Company announced definitive agreements have  been
signed  under which Texas State Bank,  the principal operating subsidiary of the
Corporation, will  acquire through  merger the  First State  Bank &  Trust  Co.,
Mission,  Texas,  and  The  Border Bank,  Hidalgo,  Texas  (the  "Mergers"). The
definitive agreements have been approved by the appropriate Boards of  Directors
of  the Corporation,  Texas State  Bank, First  State Bank  & Trust  Co. and The
Border Bank. Under the terms of the definitive agreements, Texas State Bank will
acquire First State Bank  & Trust Co.  for a total  cash consideration of  $79.0
million and will acquire The Border Bank for a total cash consideration of $20.5
million.

    The  following pro forma  combined condensed balance sheet  was based on the
assumption that the acquisition had been  consummated on December 31, 1995.  The
Mergers will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

    The  Mergers are subject to completion  of satisfactory due diligence by the
Corporation and must be approved by the shareholders of First State Bank & Trust
Co. and The Border Bank.  The Mergers must also  be approved by the  appropriate
regulators.  Closing is also contingent upon the Corporation having successfully
raised $40.0 million of additional capital to partially fund these  transactions
on terms and conditions acceptable to the Corporation.

(16)  ACQUISITION ACTIVITY (CONTINUED)
    During  August 1995, the Bank acquired two branch bank locations, one in Rio
Grande City,  Texas,  and  the  other  in  Roma,  Texas  (the  "RGC/Roma  Branch
Acquisitions").  The transaction included the purchase of $43.7 million in loans
and the  assumption of  approximately $79.7  million in  deposit liabilities  of
these  branches. Investment  securities were  not acquired.  Purchase accounting
adjustments for the purchase of loans and the assumption of deposit  liabilities
of  the  RGC/Roma  Branch  Acquisitions were  immaterial.  This  transaction was
accounted for as a purchase.

    The Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1995 reflected the
assets and  liabilities of  the  RGC/Roma Branch  Acquisitions. The  results  of
operations  of the RGC/Roma  Branch Acquisitions were  included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements of income from the date of acquisition.

    The following unaudited  pro forma combined  condensed statements of  income
for  the years  ended December  31, 1995  and 1994,  assume the  Mergers and the
RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions occurred January 1, 1994. Intangibles arising  from
the Mergers and RGC/Roma Branch Acquisitions are approximately $21.6 million and
$4.1  million, respectively. The pro  forma adjustments reflect the amortization
of the core deposit  premium over a 10-year  period, the fixed maturity  deposit
premium  over a 3-year period and the goodwill intangible over a 15-year period.
The pro forma results do not necessarily represent the actual results that would
have occurred  and should  not be  considered indicative  of future  results  of
operations.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The  following  discussion  provides  additional  information  regarding the
financial condition and the results of operations for First State Bank for  each
of  the years ended December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with  the financial statements of  First State Bank and  the
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $8.6 million, a decrease
of  2.2% compared to net income of $8.8  million for the year ended December 31,
1994. The earnings  per share of  $43.23 for  the year ended  December 31,  1995
decreased  $0.98 or 2.2% compared  to earnings per share  of $44.21 for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

    Return on average assets for 1995 was 2.12%, compared to 2.15% for 1994  and
1.99%  for 1993.  Return on  average stockholders'  equity was  15.28% for 1995,
compared to 17.13% for 1994 and 17.20% for 1993.

    Earnings performance for the year ended December 31, 1995 reflected a  small
increase  in net  interest income  offset by an  increase in  provision for loan
losses. The increase  in net interest  income for 1995  resulted primarily  from
higher interest rates.

                       ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Taxable-equivalent  net interest income was $20.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, an  increase of $101  thousand or 0.5%  compared to the  year
ended  December 31,  1994 and  taxable-equivalent net  interest income  of $20.6
million for the  year ended December  31, 1994 increased  $204 thousand or  1.0%
compared to the year ended December 31, 1993.

    The  net yield on interest-earning assets, also referred to as interest rate
margin, represents  net  interest  income divided  by  average  interest-earning
assets.  The net interest margin  of 5.40% for the  year ended December 31, 1995
increased 6 basis points compared to 5.34% for the year ended December 31, 1994.
The net interest rate  margin for the  year ended December  31, 1994 reflects  a
decrease of 6 basis points from the 5.40% for the year ended December 31, 1993.

    Average  interest-earnings assets  declined $2.1  million or  0.6% to $383.1
million for the year ended December  31, 1995. Small declines in commercial  and
consumer loans and federal funds sold were partially offset by increases in real
estate  loans and  investments. Average  interest-earning assets  increased $8.0
million or 2.1%  to $385.3 million  for the  year ended December  31, 1994.  The
increase  in average  interest-earning assets  for 1994  resulted primarily from
increases in investment securities  of $11.5 million and  loans of $4.2  million
offset by a decline in federal funds sold.

    Average  interest-earning assets comprised 93.8%  of average total assets in
1995, compared to 93.8% in 1994 and 92.9% in 1993.

    Average interest-bearing deposits declined $10.0  million or 3.1% to  $308.6
million  for the  year ended December  31, 1995  compared to a  decrease of $979
thousand or 0.3% to $318.5 million for  the year ended December 31, 1994.  These
changes  in  the mix  of interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing deposits
caused the  ratio of  interest-bearing deposits  to interest-earning  assets  to
decline to 80.5% in 1995, compared to 82.7% in 1994 and 84.7% in 1993.

    Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $2.3 million or 6.0% to $40.2
million in 1995 compared to an increase of $1.1 million or 2.9% to $38.0 million
in  1994. The  ratio of  average noninterest-bearing  deposits to  average total
deposits was 11.5% for 1995, compared to 10.6% for 1994 and 10.3% for 1993.

    The following table  presents for the  last three calendar  years the  total
dollar  amount of interest  income from average  interest-earning assets and the
resultant yields, reported on a taxable-equivalent

                                      F-32
<PAGE>
basis, as well as  the average interest-bearing  liabilities, expressed both  in
dollars  and rates.  Average balances are  derived from weekly  balances and the
yields and costs are  established by dividing income  or expense by the  average
balance  of the asset or liability.  Income and yield on interest-earning assets
include amounts  to convert  tax-exempt income  to a  taxable-equivalent  basis,
assuming a 34% effective federal income tax rate.

(1)  For analytical purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily issued by
    state and  local governments  or authorities,  is adjusted  by an  increment
    which  equates tax-exempt income to interest from taxable assets (assuming a
    34% effective federal income tax rate).

                                      F-33

    The following table  presents the  effects of  changes in  volume, rate  and
rate/volume  on interest  income and  interest expense  for major  categories of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities. Nonaccrual loans  are
included  in assets, thereby  reducing yields (see  "Nonperforming Assets"). The
allocation of the rate/volume variance has been made pro-rata on the  percentage
that volume and rate variances produce in each category.

  (1) For  analytical  purposes,  income  from  tax-exempt  assets,  primarily
      securities issued  by state  and local  governments or  authorities,  is
      adjusted  by an  increment which  equates tax-exempt  income to interest
      from taxable assets (assuming a 34% effective federal income tax rate).

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1995 was  $2.4
million  an increase of $236 thousand or  10.8% from the year ended December 31,
1994. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1994 of $2.2
million reflects  a decrease  of $98  thousand  or 4.3%  from the  $2.3  million
provision  for loan losses  for the year ended  December 31,1993. Provisions for
loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses
to a  level  deemed  appropriate  by  management  based  upon  such  factors  as
historical  experience, the volume and type  of lending conducted by First State
Bank,  the  amount  of  nonperforming  assets,  regulatory  policies,  generally
accepted  accounting  principles, general  economic conditions,  particularly as
they relate to First State Bank's lending area, and other factors related to the
collectibility of First  State Bank's  loan portfolio. See  "Allowance for  Loan
Losses."

    In  January 1995, First State Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 ("Statement 114"), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment  of
a  Loan" and the amendment thereof,  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 118  ("Statement  118"),  "Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of  a
Loan-Income  Recognition and Disclosures". In management's opinion, the adoption
of Statement 114 and Statement 118 did not have a material effect on First State
Bank's results of operations.

NONINTEREST INCOME

    Noninterest income of  $1.4 million  for the  year ended  December 31,  1995
increased  $101 thousand or 7.8%  compared to the year  ended December 31, 1994,
and noninterest income  of $1.3  million for the  year ended  December 31,  1994
decreased  $25 thousand  or 1.9%  compared to  $1.3 million  for the  year ended
December 31, 1993.

    First State Bank offers  trust services, but does  not actively pursue  this
type  of business.  Trust service  fees were $24  thousand, $37  thousand and $3
thousand for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
book value  of assets  managed  at December  31,  1995 was  approximately  $11.5
million. Assets held by the trust department of First State Bank in fiduciary or
agency capacities are not assets of First State Bank and are not included in the
balance sheet.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Noninterest expense of  $6.3 million for  the year ended  December 31,  1995
increased  $122 thousand or 2.0%  compared to the year  ended December 31, 1994,
and noninterest expense  of $6.1  million for  the year  ended December  31,1994
decreased  $1.2 million or 16.3%  compared with $7.3 million  for the year ended
December 31, 1993.

    The largest category  of noninterest  expense, Total  Salaries and  Employee
Benefits  ("Personnel"), of  $2.8 million for  the year ended  December 31, 1995
increased $262  thousand or  10.2%  compared to  year  ended December  31,  1994
levels.  Personnel expenses of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1994
increased $224 thousand or 9.6% compared to year ended December 31, 1993  levels
of  $2.3 million.  Personnel expense increased  primarily due to  an increase in
compensation levels.

    Occupancy expense of  $568 thousand  for the  year ended  December 31,  1995
increased  $13 thousand or 2.3% compared to the year ended December 31,1994, and
occupancy expense  of  $555  thousand  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1994
decreased  $85  thousand or  13.3% when  compared to  occupancy expense  of $640
thousand for the year ended December 31, 1993.

    Equipment expense was $341 thousand, $278 thousand and $261 thousand for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

    Other noninterest expense of  $2.4 million for the  year ended December  31,
1995  decreased $114 thousand  or 4.5% compared  to the year  ended December 31,
1994 and other noninterest expense of  $2.5 million for the year ended  December
31, 1994 decreased $1.5 million or 36.8% when compared with the $4.0 million for
the  year ended December 31, 1993. The  increase in other noninterest expense in
1995 resulted from an increase in legal and professional, caused primarily  from
audit  fees incurred in 1995, and increases in stationery, supplies and postage,
all of  which  were  offset by  a  reduction  in FDIC  insurance  premiums.  The
principal  factor attributable to the decrease  in other noninterest expense for
the year ended  December 31,  1994 was  a cost  to settle  litigation which  was
recorded  in 1993 and  is included in  other losses in  the detailed summary. In
1993, First State Bank settled a lender liability claim by a former borrower.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

    In  December 1990, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards  No.  106  ("Statement   106"),
"Employers'  Accounting for Postretirement Benefits  Other Than Pensions", which
is effective for fiscal years beginning  after December 15, 1992. Statement  106
requires  companies  that  have  postretirement  benefit  plans  to  accrue  the
estimated cost of  providing those benefits  to an employee  and the  employee's
beneficiaries  and  covered  dependents.  First  State  Bank  does  not  provide
postretirement benefits other than nonqualified deferred compensation plans  for
the benefit of the President and two other former officers of First State Bank.

INCOME TAX

    Income  tax expense amounted to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31,
1995 compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Tax  expense
varies  from one  year to the  next with changes  in the level  of income before
taxes, changes in the amount of tax-exempt interest income, and the relationship
of these changes to each other.

    First State Bank's effective tax rate for 1995 was 28.4% compared with 26.5%
in 1994. Income tax expense differs from the amount computed at statutory  rates
primarily  due  to tax-exempt  interest from  certain investment  securities and
loans.

    Effective January 1, 1993, First  State Bank adopted Statement of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 109 ("Statement  109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Through December 31,  1992, First State  Bank accounted for  income taxes  under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 ("APB 11"). Statement 109 has changed
First  State  Bank's method  of accounting  for income  taxes from  the deferred
method required  under APB  11 to  the  asset and  liability method.  Under  the
deferred method, annual

                                      F-37
<PAGE>
income  tax  expense  is  matched with  pretax  accounting  income  by providing
deferred  taxes  at  current  tax  rates  for  timing  differences  between  the
determination  of  net  income for  financial  reporting and  tax  purposes. The
objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax  assets
and  liabilities for  the recognition of  future deductions  or taxable amounts.
Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized  as a result of the change in  the
asset or liability during the year.

NET INCOME

    Net  income was $8.6 million,  $8.8 million, and $8.1  million for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

million  for the year ended December 31, 1995 and declined $979 thousand or 0.3%

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

    First State Bank  offers a  broad range  of commercial  banking services  to
individuals  and businesses. The amount  of cash and due  from banks held on any
one day is significantly influenced by changes  in cash items in the process  of
collection.  At December 31,  1995, cash and  due from banks  was $16.3 million,
$1.7 million less than at December 31, 1994.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    Investment securities consist of two categories: Available for Sale and Held
to Maturity.  Securities classified  as Held  to Maturity  are those  securities
First  State Bank has both  the positive intent and  ability to hold to maturity
and are carried at amortized cost.  Securities classified as Available for  Sale
are  those securities which First  State Bank intends to  hold for an indefinite
period of time but not necessarily to maturity. These securities may be sold  as
part  of  asset/liability management  strategy,  or in  response  to significant
movements in interest rates, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations,
and other similar  factors. These securities  are carried at  fair value in  the
accompanying balance sheet. The percentage of the investment portfolio allocated
to  Available for Sale and Held to Maturity was 14.1% and 85.9%, respectively at
December 31, 1995 compared  with 18.5% and 81.5%,  respectively at December  31,
1994.

    At  December 31,  1995, U.S.  Government Agency  securities with  a carrying
value of approximately  $11.4 million contained  interest features which  adjust
according  to  various dual  indices and/or  which could  adjust to  zero. These
features relate only to  the interest payments and  do not affect the  principal
amount  due.  At  December  31,  1995,  the  weighted  average  coupon  of these
securities equalled  3.00%. One  issue with  a book  value of  $3.5 million  has
adjusted  to  zero percent  and will  mature  in May  1996. The  following table
presents the  maturities, amortized  cost  and estimated  market value  of  such

LOANS

    First State  Bank closely  monitors the  markets in  which it  conducts  its
lending.  A  certain degree  of risk  is  inherent in  the extension  of credit.
Management has instituted credit  policies designed to  monitor and control  the
level  of losses and nonperforming assets.  These policies require evaluation of
new credit  requests and  continuing  review of  existing credits  to  identify,
monitor and quantify any evidence of deterioration of quality or potential loss.

                                      F-41
<PAGE>
    First  State Bank attempts to diversify risk with the objective of achieving
optimum rates of return while minimizing losses for the benefit of  stockholders
and  protection of depositors. Diversification of  the loan portfolio by type of
loan, industry concentration and type of  borrower also tends to reduce risk  by
minimizing the adverse impact of any single event or set of occurrences.

    Total  loans at December 31,  1995 decreased $5.9 million  or 3.0% to $188.4
million compared to the  year-end balance at December  31, 1994. Total loans  at
December  31, 1994 of $194.3 million decreased $547 thousand or 0.3% compared to
the year-end  balance of  $194.9 million  at December  31, 1993.  The  principal
reason  for  the decrease  in total  loans  at year-end  1995 was  reductions in
agricultural and agricultural mortgage loans outstanding.

    Real estate loans, including construction, commercial mortgage, agricultural
mortgage and 1-4 family mortgage, continue to represent the largest component of
First State Bank's  loan portfolio. The  percent of real  estate loans to  total
loans  was  56.2%,  53.2%  and  53.0%, at  December  31,  1995,  1994  and 1993,
respectively.

    The  decline  in  agricultural  and  agricultural  mortgage  loans  resulted
primarily  from  reduced  borrowing  by  certain  customers  and  several  large
borrowers who discontinued farming and paid off their loans. This was offset  by
increases  in other lines which are normally paid down at this time of the year.
See "Nonperforming Assets."

for more than one  twelve-month period are generally  avoided, unless loans  are
fully  secured, or are revolving lines of  credit subject to annual analysis and
renewal.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

    Nonperforming assets  consist  of  nonaccrual loans,  loans  for  which  the
interest  rate has been renegotiated below  originally contracted rates and real
estate or other assets that have  been acquired in partial or full  satisfaction
of loan obligations.

    First  State Bank's policy generally is to place a loan on nonaccrual status
when payment of  principal or  interest is contractually  past due  90 days,  or
earlier when concern exists as to ultimate collection of principal and interest.
At  the time a loan is placed  on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued
but uncollected is reversed and charged against current income. At December  31,
1995,  three  of  the loans  on  nonaccrual status  totaling  approximately $1.8
million had balances in excess of $100 thousand.

    Loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more, which are both  well
secured  or  guaranteed  by financially  responsible  third parties  and  in the
process of collection, generally are not placed on nonaccrual status. The amount
of such loans past due  90 days or more for  the years ended December 31,  1995,
1994  and 1993 that are not classified  as nonaccrual totaled $4.9 million, $3.2
million and  $3.4  million, respectively.  Included  in this  classification  at
December  31,  1995  were agricultural  loans  of $2.4  million  which represent
carryovers from the 1995 crop year and for which borrowers are awaiting disaster
payments and/or insurance proceeds.

    Nonperforming assets  of $3.2  million  at December  31, 1995  increased  $1
thousand compared to December 31, 1994 levels of $3.2 million and decreased $475
thousand  or 13.1% for the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to December 31,
1993 levels of $3.6 million.

    First State  Bank's classification  of  nonperforming loans  includes  those
loans  for which management  believes collection is  doubtful. Management is not
aware  of  any  specific  borrower  relationships  that  are  not  reported   as
nonperforming  where management  has serious  doubts as  to the  ability of such
borrowers to comply  with the  present loan  repayment terms  which would  cause
nonperforming assets to increase materially.

    Interest income that would have been  recorded for the years ended  December
31,  1995,  1994  and 1993  on  nonaccrual  loans had  such  loans  performed in
accordance with their original contract  terms was approximately $531  thousand,
$820 thousand and $232 thousand, respectively.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    Management  analyzes the  loan portfolio  to determine  the adequacy  of the
allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision required to maintain  an
adequate  allowance.  In assessing  the  adequacy of  the  allowance, management
reviews the size,  quality and  risks of loans  in the  portfolio and  considers
factors  such as specific known risks, past experience, the status and amount of
nonperforming assets and economic conditions. A specific percentage is allocated
to total loans in good standing and additional amounts are added for  individual
loans considered to have specific loss potential. Loans identified as losses are
charged  off. Based on total allocations,  the provision is recorded to maintain
the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management. While management uses
available information to recognize  losses on loans, there  can be no  assurance
that  future additions to the allowance will not be necessary. The allowance for
loan losses at December 31, 1995 was $4.2 million, which represents an  increase
of  $281  thousand or  7.2%  as compared  to the  allowance  for loan  losses at
December 31, 1994.  Management believes that  the allowance for  loan losses  at
December  31, 1995 adequately reflects the risks in the loan portfolio. However,
various regulatory agencies, as an  integral part of their examination  process,
periodically  review First State Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies
may require First State  Bank to recognize additions  to the allowance based  on
their  judgments  of  information  available  to  them  at  the  time  of  their
examination.

    As a  result  of criticisms  reflected  in the  October  4, 1993  Report  of
Examination  by the Texas  Department of Banking,  a Memorandum of Understanding
(the "Memorandum") was  entered into  between the  Board of  Directors of  First
State  Bank and  the Banking  Commissioner of  Texas on  December 14,  1993. The
Memorandum required  that First  State Bank,  among other  provisions,  increase
Board  of Directors supervision  over loan activities,  revise the existing loan
policy, increase the  allowance for  loan losses and  reduce criticized  assets.
Additionally,   First   State  Bank's   Board  of   Directors  is   required  to

                                      F-44
<PAGE>
submit to the Commissioner and Regional Director of the FDIC a written report of
the actions taken to comply with the Memorandum. Management has made efforts  to
comply with the requirements of the Memorandum.

for the last five years:

    Mexico is a  part of the  trade territory  of First State  Bank and  foreign
deposits  from  Mexican sources  have traditionally  been  a source  of funding.
Although First  State Bank  experienced  a short  term  negative impact  on  its
Mexican  deposits due to the recent devaluation  of the peso, First State Bank's
Mexican deposit levels have since recovered.

LIQUIDITY

    Liquidity  management  assures that  adequate  funds are  available  to meet
deposit  withdrawals,  loan  demand   and  maturing  liabilities.   Insufficient
liquidity  can  result  in  higher costs  of  obtaining  funds,  while excessive
liquidity can  lead to  a  decline in  earnings due  to  the cost  of  foregoing
alternative  investments.  The ability  to renew  or acquire  additional deposit
liabilities is a major source of liquidity. First State Bank's principal sources
of funds are primarily within the local markets of First State Bank and  consist
of deposits, interest and principal payments on loans and investment securities.

    Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable,
or  which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future. These include
cash, federal funds sold and U.S. Government-backed securities. At December  31,
1995,   First   State   Bank's   liquidity   ratio,   defined   as   cash,  U.S.
Government-backed securities, and federal funds sold as a percentage of deposits
was 48.1% compared to 45.2% at December 31, 1994.

    Liability  liquidity  is  provided  by  access  to  core  funding   sources,
principally  various customers' interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit
accounts in the First State Bank's trade area.

    During 1995, funds for  $34.3 million of investment  purchases and the  $2.1
million  net  decrease in  deposits came  from  various sources,  including $3.4
million net repayments on loans, $47.8 million proceeds from maturing or  called
securities and $8.6 million of net income.

    The  Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation Act of  1991 ("FDICIA") requires
that federal bank  regulatory authorities take  "prompt corrective action"  with
respect  to any  depository institution  which does  not meet  specified minimum
capital requirements. The applicable  regulations establish five capital  levels
which  require or permit the Federal  Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC")
and other  regulatory  authorities  to take  supervisory  action.  The  relevant
classifications  range from "well capitalized"  to "critically capitalized." The
classifications  are   generally  determined   by  applicable   ratios  of   the
institution,  including Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to
risk-weighted assets and leverage  ratios. Based on  First State Bank's  capital
ratios  at  December  31,  1995,  First  State  Bank  was  classified  as  "well
capitalized" under the  applicable regulations.  As a result,  First State  Bank
does not believe that the prompt corrective action regulations have any material
effect on its activities or operations.

    The  funds management policy of First State  Bank is to maintain a liability
sensitive position. Changes in net interest income occur when interest rates  on
loans  and investments change in a different time period from that of changes in
interest rates on liabilities,  or when the mix  and volume of  interest-earning
assets  and interest-bearing  liabilities change. The  interest rate sensitivity
gap represents the dollar amount of difference between rate sensitive assets and
rate sensitive liabilities within  a given time period  ("GAP"). A GAP ratio  is
determined  by dividing rate  sensitive assets by  rate sensitive liabilities. A
ratio of 1.0 indicates a perfectly matched position, in which case the effect on
net interest income due to interest rate movements would be zero.

    Rate sensitive liabilities maturing within one year exceeded rate  sensitive
assets with comparable maturities at December 31, 1995 by $83.3 million.

    The   following  table   summarizes  interest  rate   sensitive  assets  and
liabilities by maturity at December 31, 1995:

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

    Financial  institutions  are  impacted  differently  by  inflation  than are
industrial companies.  While industrial  and manufacturing  companies  generally
have   significant  investments  in  inventories  and  fixed  assets,  financial
institutions ordinarily do  not have  such investments. As  a result,  financial
institutions  are generally  in a better  position than  industrial companies to
respond to inflationary trends by monitoring

                                      F-48
<PAGE>
the spread between interest costs  and yields through adjustments to  maturities
and  interest rates of  assets and liabilities. In  addition, inflation tends to
increase demand for  loans from financial  institutions as industrial  companies
attempt  to  maintain a  constant level  of  goods in  inventory and  assets. As
consumers  of  goods  and  services,  financial  institutions  are  affected  by
inflation as prices increase, causing an increase in costs of salaries, employee
benefits, occupancy expense and similar items.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Stockholders'  equity of $59.4  million at December 31,  1995 reflects a net
increase of  $4.1 million  or 7.5%  compared to  stockholders' equity  of  $55.3
million  at December  31,1994. This net  increase was  primarily attributable to
earnings for 1995  of $8.6  million. The  net increase  in stockholders'  equity
reflects dividends paid on common stock of $5.0 million in 1995.

    The  risk-based capital standards as established  by the FDIC apply to First
State Bank. The  numerator of the  risk-based capital ratio  for banks  includes
Tier  I  capital,  consisting  of  common  stockholders'  equity  and qualifying
cumulative and noncumulative  perpetual preferred  stock; and  Tier II  capital,
consisting  of  other  preferred stock,  reserve  for possible  loan  losses and
certain subordinated and term-debt securities.  Beginning on December 31,  1993,
goodwill  is deducted from Tier I capital. At no time is Tier II capital allowed
to exceed Tier I capital in the calculation of total capital. The denominator or
asset portion  of the  risk-based capital  ratio aggregates  generic classes  of
balance  sheet and  off-balance sheet  exposures, each  weighted by  one of four
factors, ranging from 0%  to 100%, based  on the relative  risk of the  exposure
class.

    Ratio targets are set for both Tier I and Total Capital (Tier I plus Tier II
capital).  The minimum level of  Tier I capital to total  assets is 4.0% and the
minimum Total Capital  ratio is  8.0%. The FDIC  has guidelines  for a  leverage
capital ratio that is an additional evaluation of capital adequacy of banks. The
leverage ratio is defined to be First State Bank's Tier I capital divided by its
risk   adjusted  total  assets.  An  insured  depository  institution  is  "well
capitalized" for purposes  of FDICIA if  its Total Risk-Based  Capital Ratio  is
equal  to or greater than 10.0%, and Tier I Risk-Based Capital Ratio is equal to
or grater than 6.0%, and  Tier I Leverage Capital Ratio  is equal to or  greater
than 5.0%. Based on capital ratios, First State Bank is within the definition of
"well capitalized" for FDIC purposes at December 31, 1995.

    First  State Bank's Tier I Risk-Based Capital Ratio was approximately 18.47%
and 17.99% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. First State Bank's Total
Risk-Based Capital Ratio  was approximately  19.78% and 19.26%  at December  31,
1995  and 1994, respectively.  First State Bank's Tier  I Leverage Capital Ratio
was approximately 14.88% and 13.98% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

    Effective  January 1, 1995,  First State Bank adopted  Statement 114 and the
amendment thereof,  Statement 118.  Under Statement  114, a  loan is  considered
impaired  when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that a
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the  contractual
terms  of the loan  agreement. Statement 114  requires that an  impaired loan be
valued utilizing (i) the present value of expected future cash flows  discounted
at  the  effective  interest  rate of  the  loan,  (ii) the  fair  value  of the
underlying collateral,  or  (iii)  the  observable market  price  of  the  loan.
Statement  118  amended  Statement  114  by  expanding  the  related  disclosure
requirements and permitting  use of  existing methods  for recognizing  interest
income on impaired loans.

    Loans  which were  restructured prior to  the adoption of  Statement 114 and
which are performing in accordance with the renegotiated terms are not  required
to  be reported  as impaired. Loans  restructured subsequent to  the adoption of
Statement  114  are  required  to  be  reported  as  impaired  in  the  year  of
restructuring.  Thereafter, such  loans can  be removed  from the  impaired loan
disclosure if the loans  were paying a  market rate of interest  at the time  of
restructuring and are performing in accordance with their renegotiated terms.

    For loans covered by Statement 114, First State Bank makes an assessment for
impairment  when and while such loans are  on nonaccrual status or when the loan
has been restructured.  When a loan  with unique risk  characteristics has  been
identified as being impaired, the amount of impairment will be measured by First
State  Bank using discounted cash  flows, except when it  is determined that the
sole source of repayment  for the loan  is the operation  or liquidation of  the
underlying  collateral. In such case, the  current fair value of the collateral,
reduced by costs to sell, will be used in place of discounted cash flows. At the
time a loan is placed on  nonaccrual status, interest previously recognized  but
uncollected  is reversed and charged against current income. Subsequent interest
payments received on nonaccrual  loans are either  applied against principal  or
reported  as  income, depending  upon  management's assessment  of  the ultimate
collectibility of principal.

    In management's opinion, the adoption of Statement 114 and Statement 118 did
not have a material effect on First State Bank's results of operations.

    In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("Statement 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  Statement
123  establishes financial  accounting and  reporting standards  for stock-based
employee compensation plans.

    Statement 123 encourages entities  to adopt a "fair  value" based method  of
accounting  for stock-based compensation plans which requires an estimate of the
fair value of stock options or  other equity instruments which employees  become
entitled  to  when  they  have rendered  requisite  service  or  satisfied other
conditions necessary  to  earn  the  right  to  benefit  from  the  instruments.
Compensation  cost is then  determined based on  the fair value  estimate and is
recognized over  the  service  period,  which is  usually  the  vesting  period.
Statement  123  also requires  that an  employer's financial  statements include
certain  disclosures  about   stock-based  employee  compensation   arrangements
regardless of the method used to account for them.

    The  accounting requirements of Statement 123 are effective for transactions
entered into in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. In management's
opinion, implementation of Statement 123 should have no material effect on First
State Bank's financial statements.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
First State Bank & Trust Co.:

    We  have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First State Bank & Trust
Co. (the "Bank") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and  cash flows for each of the  years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Bank'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 financial position of First State Bank & Trust Co.
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    As discussed in  note 1 to  the financial statements,  the Bank changed  its
method  of accounting for investment securities  in 1994 to adopt the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for  Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The  accounting  and reporting  policies of  the  Bank conform  to generally
accepted accounting principles  and to prevailing  practices within the  banking
industry. A summary of the more significant accounting policies follows:

    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported amounts  of  assets and  liabilities and
disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities  at the date  of the  financial
statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    For purposes of reporting  cash flows, cash and  due from banks and  federal
funds  sold are considered to be  cash equivalents. Federal funds sold generally
have one-day maturities.

TRUST ASSETS

    Assets held by the  trust department in fiduciary  or agency capacities  are
not  assets of the Bank and are not included in the balance sheets. Trust assets
at December  31, 1995  and 1994  are approximately  $11,542,000 and  $11,400,000
respectively.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    In  May  1993,  the  Financial Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB") issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards  No.  115  ("Statement   115"),
"Accounting  for Certain Investments  in Debt and  Equity Securities." Statement
115 establishes standards of financial accounting and reporting for  investments
in  equity securities that  have a readily  determinable fair value  and for all
investments in debt securities. At acquisition,  a bank is required to  classify
debt  and  equity securities  into one  of three  categories: held  to maturity,
trading or available for  sale. At each reporting  date, the appropriateness  of
the  classification is reassessed. Investments in debt securities are classified
as held to maturity and measured at amortized cost in the balance sheet only  if
management  has  the positive  intent and  ability to  hold those  securities to
maturity. Securities that  are bought and  held principally for  the purpose  of
selling  them in the  near term are  classified as trading  and measured at fair
value in the balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses included  in
earnings.  Investments  not  classified  as held  to  maturity  nor  trading are
classified as available for sale and measured at fair value in the balance sheet
with unrealized  holding  gains and  losses,  net of  applicable  income  taxes,
reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.

    Effective  January 1,  1994, the  Bank adopted  Statement 115,  which had no
impact on  the Bank's  income statement  as all  securities were  classified  as
either  held  to  maturity  or available  for  sale.  Accounting  for securities
classified as held  to maturity will  continue on the  basis of amortized  cost.
Securities  classified as  available for sale  will be measured  at market value
with the  net  unrealized  holding  gains and  losses  reported  in  a  separate
component  of  stockholders'  equity  until  realized.  Purchases  of investment
securities are classified as available for sale  or held to maturity at time  of
purchase as determined by management.

    Premiums  and  discounts are  amortized and  accreted  using a  method which
approximates level  yield. Gains  and losses  on available  for sale  investment
securities  sold are recognized in  operations at the time  of sale based on the
specific identification method. Security purchases and sales are recorded on the
trade date.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
LOANS

    Management continually reviews the loan  portfolio to identify loans  which,
with respect to principal or interest, have or may become collection problems. A
loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past
due 90 days or more, and the loan is not both well-secured and in the process of
collection.  A loan is also  placed on nonaccrual status  immediately if, in the
opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is unlikely.  At
the  time a loan is placed  on nonaccrual status, interest previously recognized
but uncollected  is  reversed and  charged  against current  income.  Subsequent
interest  payments  received  on  nonaccrual loans  are  either  applied against
principal or reported  as income,  depending on management's  assessment of  the
ultimate collectibility of principal.

    Unearned  interest on  installment loans  is recognized  as income  over the
terms of the related loans on a basis which results in approximately level rates
of return over the terms of the loans.

    In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114 ("Statement 114"), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which
addresses the  accounting  by creditors  for  impairment of  certain  loans,  as
defined.  In October 1994,  Statement 114 was amended  by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,
Income Recognition and Disclosures."  Implementation of these pronouncements  in
the first quarter of 1995 did not have a material effect on the Bank's financial
statements.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The  allowance for loan losses  is established by a  charge to operations as
deemed necessary by management to maintain  the allowance for loan losses at  an
amount considered adequate to absorb known or possible loan losses in the Bank's
loan  portfolio. The provision is determined based on management's evaluation of
the loan  portfolio,  giving  consideration  to  existing  economic  conditions,
changes  in the loan portfolio, historical  loan loss factors and other relevant
information. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

    Loans are  charged against  the allowance  for loan  losses when  management
believes  the  collection  of  principal  is  unlikely.  Recoveries  of  amounts
previously charged off are credited to the allowance.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

    Bank  premises  and  equipment  are  recorded  at  cost.  Expenditures   for
improvements  are capitalized. Repairs  and maintenance which  do not extend the
life of  bank  premises  and  equipment are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over
the  estimated  useful lives  of the  assets.  Any gain  or loss  resulting from
disposition of premises and equipment is reflected in earnings.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

    Other real estate owned is recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure
which is subsequently considered cost. At subsequent dates, other real estate is
carried at the lower of  fair value less estimated costs  to sell or cost.  Fair
values are determined generally by reference to appraisals. Rental income earned
and  expenses incurred  related to real  estate owned are  recognized during the
period earned or incurred and are  included in noninterest expense at their  net
amount.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

    Deferred  tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax
consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial   statement
carrying  amounts of  existing assets and  liabilities and  their respective tax
bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets  and
liabilities

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which  those  temporary differences  are expected  to  be recovered  or settled.
Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized  as a result of the change in  the
asset or liability during the year.

(2)   RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
    The  Bank is required to maintain certain  daily reserve balances on hand or
on deposit with  the Federal  Reserve Bank  in accordance  with Federal  Reserve
Board requirements. These deposits are noninterest bearing and not available for
investment  purposes. Cash and  due from bank  balances maintained in accordance
with such requirements at December 31, 1995 was approximately $5,611,000.

(3)   INVESTMENT SECURITIES
    The amortized cost and estimated market value, which is the carrying  value,
of  investment securities available  for sale at December  31, 1995 and December
31, 1994 are as follows:

to maturity securities have a market value of $7,681,000. All of the  securities
mature  during 1996 and 1997, with the exception of one security maturing in the
year 2000. The securities are paying interest at a rate of approximately  3.00%.
One  security of approximately $500,000 has an interest rate floor of 3.00%. The
interest rate on the other securities could reset to zero. No loss of  principal
is anticipated by management on any of the aforementioned securities.

    There  were no sales for  the year ended December  31, 1995 and December 31,
1994 from either the available for sale or held to maturity categories.

    Securities  with  a   carrying  value  of   approximately  $88,016,000   and
$84,645,000   were  pledged  to  secure   public  deposits  of  $79,216,000  and

</TABLE>

    The majority of the Bank's loans are to companies and individuals which  are
headquartered or are employed in the Rio Grande Valley, but may conduct business
on  a statewide, national, or international  scale. Repayment of those loans may
be dependent on the economy  in the Rio Grande Valley  which is impacted by  the
economic situation in Mexico and surrounding areas.

    All loans to officers, directors and stockholders of the Bank and associates
of  such persons are, in the opinion  of management, made in the ordinary course
of business  on  substantially the  same  terms, including  interest  rates  and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans of like quality
and risk of collectibility. The outstanding balance of total personal borrowings
of  executive officers and directors  of the Bank at  December 31, 1995 and 1994
were approximately $2,032,000 and $1,446,000, respectively.

    At December  31, 1995,  the Bank  had a  $1,736,000 recorded  investment  in
impaired loans, all of which are nonaccrual loans, for which there was a related
allowance  of $836,000. All loans considered impaired at December 31, 1995 had a
related allowance for loan  losses. The average level  of impaired loans  during
the  year ended  December 31,  1995 was  $2,536,000. The  Bank recorded interest
income of $41,500 on its impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1995.

    Nonaccrual loans approximated $2,724,000 and $2,562,000 at December 31, 1995
and 1994,  respectively. If  interest on  these loans  had been  accrued at  the
original  contractual  rates,  interest  income  would  have  been  increased by
approximately $531,000, $820,000 and $232,000  for the years ended December  31,
1995,  1994 and 1993.  There were no renegotiated  loans outstanding at December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

    In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various  transactions
which,  in  accordance with  generally accepted  accounting principles,  are not
included  on  the  balance  sheets.  These  transactions  are  referred  to   as
"off-balance sheet commitments." The Bank enters into these transactions to meet
the  financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to
extend credit and letters of credit  which involve elements of credit risk.  The
Bank  minimizes its exposure to loss  under these commitments by subjecting them
to credit approval and monitoring procedures.

    Management  believes that  it is  more likely than  not that  the results of
future operations  will  generate  sufficient  taxable  income  to  realize  the
deferred tax assets.

(9)   EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
    The  Bank has three separate deferred  compensation plans for the benefit of
certain Bank employees. The plans provide for retirement benefits to be paid  to
the  specific employee  (or a designated  beneficiary or estate  if death occurs
prior to payment of  the full amount of  deferred compensation) on reaching  age
65.  One  plan  entered  into  on  December  10,  1963,  commenced  payments  of
approximately  $13,000  each  year  on  January  4,  1988,  continuing  annually
thereafter  through June 2003. A second plan, entered into on September 1, 1979,
provides for payments of approximately $13,000 each year which was scheduled  to
commence  on April  1, 1990, continuing  annually thereafter  through June 2005;
however, the employee elected to receive  an amount less than that provided  for
in  the  plan over  a  longer period  of  time. The  third  plan provides  for a
retirement  benefit   payable  of   $50,000  per   year  commencing   in   March

(9)   EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
1999  and continuing  annually thereafter for  20 years. The  amounts charged to
compensation expense related to  the deferred compensation  plans for the  years
ended  December  31, 1995,  1994  and 1993  were  $15,300, $13,600  and $11,800,
respectively.

    The Bank owns and is the beneficiary of three life insurance policies on the
employees or former employees  covered by the  deferred compensation plans.  The
life  insurance policy face values are  amounts approximately equal to the total
benefits paid under the plans.

(10)  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
    The Bank is involved in certain  claims and suits occurring in the  ordinary
course  of business.  Management believes that  the probable  resolution of such
claims and  suits will  not have  a  material adverse  affect on  the  financial
condition of the Bank.

(11)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

used to determine the estimated fair values  are set forth below for the  Bank's

</TABLE>

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

    Carrying  value approximates  fair value  because of  the short  maturity of
these instruments and no anticipated credit concerns.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD

    Carrying value  approximates fair  value because  of the  short maturity  of
these instruments and no anticipated credit concerns.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    The  fair  values of  investment securities  are  estimated based  on quoted
market prices from investment dealers and companies.

NET LOANS

    The fair value of loans is estimated for segregated groupings of loans  with
similar  financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated  by type  and the fair
value of loans is estimated using current market rates for the type of loan.

DEPOSITS

    The fair value of  deposits with short-term or  no stated maturity, such  as
checking,  savings,  NOW accounts  and money  market accounts,  is equal  to the
amounts payable at December 31, 1995. The fair value of certificates of deposits
is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates  currently offered for  deposits of similar  remaining
maturities.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

    The  fair value of  commitments to extend  credit and letters  of credit are
estimated using current interest rates and committed rates.

(12)  REGULATORY SUPERVISION
    As a  result  of criticisms  reflected  in the  October  4, 1993  Report  of
Examination  by the Texas  Department of Banking,  a Memorandum of Understanding
(the "Memorandum") was entered into between  the Board of Directors of the  Bank
and  the  Banking Commissioner  of Texas  on December  14, 1993.  The Memorandum
required that  the Bank,  among  other provisions,  increase Board  of  Director
supervision  over loan activities, revise the existing loan policy, increase the
allowance for loan losses and reduce criticized assets. Additionally, the Bank's
Board of  Directors is  required  to submit  to  the Commissioner  and  Regional
Director  of the FDIC, a written report of  the actions taken to comply with the
Memorandum within fifteen days after the  end of each calendar quarter.  Failure
to  comply with  the requirements  of the Memorandum  could subject  the Bank to
additional action by bank regulatory authorities. Management has made efforts to
comply with  the requirements  of the  Memorandum and  believes such  additional
action will not be taken by regulatory authorities.

(13)  PENDING TRANSACTION
    On  January 9,  1996, a  definitive agreement  was signed  under which First
State Bank &  Trust Co. will  be purchased  by Texas State  Bank, the  principal
operating  subsidiary of Texas Regional Bancshares,  Inc. The agreement has been
approved by the Boards of Directors of First State Bank & Trust Co., Texas State
Bank and Texas  Regional Bancshares, Inc.  The sale  of the Bank  is subject  to
approval by the appropriate regulatory agencies and contingent upon, among other
things,  Texas Regional  Bancshares, Inc. having  successfully raised additional
capital to partially fund the transaction.

                                THE BORDER BANK
          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The following  discussion  provides  additional  information  regarding  the
financial  condition and the results  of operations for Border  Bank for each of
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. This discussion should be read
in conjunction  with the  financial  statements of  Border  Bank and  the  notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $1.9 million, a decrease
of  19.0% compared to net income of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31,
1994. The earnings  per share  of $9.42  for the  year ended  December 31,  1995
decreased  $2.20 or 18.9% compared to earnings  per share of $11.62 for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

    Return on average assets for 1995 was 1.62%, compared to 1.98% for 1994  and
1.83%  for 1993.  Return on  average stockholders'  equity was  11.50% for 1995,
compared to 15.73% for 1994 and 15.79% for 1993.

    Earnings performance  for  the year  ended  December 31,  1995  reflected  a
decrease  in  net  interest income,  a  decrease  in noninterest  income  and an
increase in provision for loan losses.  The decrease in net interest income  for
1995 resulted primarily from an increase in interest expense.

                       ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Taxable-equivalent  net interest income was $5.2  million for the year ended
December 31, 1995,  a decrease of  $529 thousand  or 9.2% compared  to the  year
ended  December  31, 1994  and taxable-equivalent  net  interest income  of $5.8
million for the  year ended  December 31, 1994  increased $52  thousand or  0.9%
compared to the year ended December 31, 1993.

    The  net yield on interest-earning assets, also referred to as interest rate
margin, represents  net  interest  income divided  by  average  interest-earning
assets.  The net interest rate  margin of 4.92% for  the year ended December 31,
1995 decreased 42 basis points compared to 5.34% for the year ended December 31,
1994. The decrease in net interest rate margin is due primarily to higher  rates
paid  on time deposits. The net interest rate margin for the year ended December
31, 1994 reflects  a decrease of  15 basis points  from the 5.49%  for the  year
ended December 31, 1993.

    Average  interest-earning  assets declined  $1.5 million  or 1.4%  to $106.5
million for the year ended December  31, 1995. The decrease in  interest-earning
assets  was consistent for all  categories of interest-earning assets, including
loans, investment securities  and federal funds  sold. Average  interest-earning
assets  increased $3.8  million or  3.7% to  $108.0 million  for the  year ended
December 31,  1994. The  increase in  average interest-earning  assets for  1994
resulted  primarily from  an increase in  investment securities  of $5.8 million
offset by declines in loans and federal funds sold.

    Average interest-earning assets comprised 91.6%  of average total assets  in
1995, compared to 92.0% in 1994 and 91.8% in 1993.

    Average  interest-bearing deposits  declined $3.0  million or  3.2% to $92.2
million for the year  ended December 31,  1995 compared to  an increase of  $2.2
million  or 2.4% to  $95.3 million for  the year ended  December 31, 1994. These
changes in  the mix  of interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  deposits
caused  the  ratio of  interest-bearing deposits  to interest-earning  assets to
decline to 86.6% in 1995, compared to 88.2% in 1994 and 89.3% in 1993.

    Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $180 thousand or 2.6% to $7.1
million in 1995 compared to an increase of $113 thousand or 1.7% to $6.9 million
in 1994.  The ratio  of average  noninterest-bearing deposits  to average  total
deposits was 7.2% for 1995, compared to 6.8% for each of 1994 and 1993.

    The  following table  presents for the  last three calendar  years the total
dollar amount of interest  income from average  interest-earning assets and  the
resultant yields, reported on a taxable-equivalent basis, as well as the average
interest-bearing  liabilities,  expressed  both in  dollars  and  rates. Average
balances are  derived  from  weekly  balances  and  the  yields  and  costs  are
established by dividing income or expense by the average balance of the asset or
liability.  Income  and  yield  on interest-earning  assets  include  amounts to
convert  tax-exempt  income  to  a  taxable-equivalent  basis,  assuming  a  34%
effective federal income tax rate.

  (1) For analytical purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily issued
      by  state  and  local  governments or  authorities,  is  adjusted  by an
      increment which  equates  tax-exempt  income to  interest  from  taxable
      assets (assuming a 34% effective federal income tax rate).

    The  following table  presents the  effects of  changes in  volume, rate and
rate/volume on  interest income  and interest  expense for  major categories  of
interest-earning  assets and interest-bearing  liabilities. Nonaccrual loans are
included in assets,  thereby reducing yields  (see "Nonperforming Assets").  The
allocation  of the rate/volume variance has been made pro-rata on the percentage
that volume and rate variances produce in each category.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The  provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $485
thousand, an increase of $88 thousand or  22.2% from $397 thousand for the  year
ended  December  31, 1994.  The provision  for  loan losses  for the  year ended
December 31, 1994 reflects an increase of  $132 thousand or 49.8% from the  $265
thousand  provision  for  loan  losses  for  the  year  ended  December 31,1993.
Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the total  allowance
for  loan losses  to a  level deemed appropriate  by management  based upon such
factors as historical experience,  the volume and type  of lending conducted  by
Border  Bank, the amount of nonperforming assets, regulatory policies, generally
accepted accounting  principles, general  economic conditions,  particularly  as
they  relate to  Border Bank's  lending area, and  other factors  related to the
collectibility of Border Bank's loan portfolio. See "Allowance for Loan Losses."

    In January  1995,  Border Bank  adopted  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 114 ("Statement 114"), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan" and the amendment  thereof, Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards
No.  118  ("Statement  118"),  "Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of a
Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures". In management's opinion, the  adoption
of  Statement 114  and Statement 118  did not  have a material  effect on Border
Bank's results of operations.

NONINTEREST INCOME

    Noninterest income of  $316 thousand for  the year ended  December 31,  1995
decreased  $87 thousand or 21.6%  compared to the year  ended December 31, 1994,
and noninterest income  of $403 thousand  for the year  ended December 31,  1994
increased  $117 thousand or 40.9%  compared to $286 thousand  for the year ended
December 31,  1993. The  principal  factor affecting  the level  of  noninterest
income  in  1994 was  a  reimbursement to  Border Bank  of  $142 thousand  by an
insurance company in connection with the prior year settlement of a lawsuit (See
"Noninterest Expense") which was partially offset by a payment by Border Bank of
$48 thousand to resolve unrelated litigation.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Noninterest  expense of  $2.2 million for  the year ended  December 31, 1995
decreased $18 thousand or 0.8% compared to the year ended December 31, 1994, and
noninterest expense  of  $2.2  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,1994
decreased  $296 thousand or 11.9% compared with  $2.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1993.

    The largest category  of noninterest  expense, Total  Salaries and  Employee
Benefits  ("Personnel") of  $1.1 million  for the  year ended  December 31, 1995
decreased $5 thousand or 0.5% compared  to year ended December 31, 1994  levels.
Personnel expense of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased
$116  thousand or 12.3% compared to year  ended December 31, 1993 levels of $945
thousand. Personnel  expense increased  for  the year  ended December  31,  1994
primarily due to an increase in compensation levels.

    Occupancy  expense of  $234 thousand  for the  year ended  December 31, 1995
increased $6 thousand or 2.6% compared  to the year ended December 31,1994,  and
occupancy  expense  of  $228  thousand  for the  year  ended  December  31, 1994
increased $57  thousand or  33.3% when  compared to  occupancy expense  of  $171
thousand  for the year ended  December 31, 1993. The  increases in 1995 and 1994
are primarily attributable to an expansion to Border Bank which began in 1994.

    Equipment expense was $148 thousand, $139 thousand and $144 thousand for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

    Other noninterest expense of $729 thousand  for the year ended December  31,
1995 decreased $15 thousand or 2.0% compared to the year ended December 31, 1994
and  other noninterest expense of $744 thousand  for the year ended December 31,
1994 decreased $474 thousand  or 38.9% when compared  with the $1.2 million  for
the  year  ended December  31, 1993.  The principal  factor attributable  to the
decrease in other noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 was a
cost to  settle litigation  which was  recorded in  1993. In  1993, Border  Bank
settled a lender liability claim by a former borrower.

    The   increase  in  legal  and  professional  fees  in  1995  was  primarily
attributable to audit fees incurred in 1995.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

    In  December 1990, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards  No.  106  ("Statement   106"),
"Employers'  Accounting for Postretirement Benefits  Other Than Pensions", which
is effective for fiscal years beginning  after December 15, 1992. Statement  106
requires  companies  that  have  postretirement  benefit  plans  to  accrue  the
estimated cost of  providing those benefits  to an employee  and the  employee's
beneficiaries   and   covered   dependents.  Border   Bank   does   not  provide
postretirement benefits other than a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for
the benefit of a former President.

INCOME TAX

    Income tax expense amounted to $381 thousand for the year ended December 31,
1995 compared to $604 thousand for the year ended December 31, 1994. Tax expense
varies from one  year to the  next with changes  in the level  of income  before
taxes, changes in the amount of tax-exempt interest income, and the relationship
of these changes to each other.

    Border  Bank's effective tax rate for 1995  was 16.8% compared with 20.6% in
1994. Income tax  expense differs from  the amount computed  at statutory  rates
primarily due to tax-exempt interest from certain investment securities.

                                      F-72
<PAGE>
    Effective  January  1,  1993,  Border Bank  adopted  Statement  of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("Statement  109"), "Accounting for Income  Taxes".
Through  December  31,  1992,  Border  Bank  accounted  for  income  taxes under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 ("APB 11"). Statement 109 has changed
Border Bank's method  of accounting for  income taxes from  the deferred  method
required  under APB  11 to  the asset and  liability method.  Under the deferred
method, annual income tax  expense is matched with  pretax accounting income  by
providing deferred taxes at current tax rates for timing differences between the
determination  of  net  income for  financial  reporting and  tax  purposes. The
objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax  assets
and  liabilities for  the recognition of  future deductions  or taxable amounts.
Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized  as a result of the change in  the
asset or liability during the year.

NET INCOME

    Net  income was $1.9  million, $2.3 million  and $2.1 million  for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

    Border  Bank  offers  a  broad  range  of  commercial  banking  services  to
individuals  and businesses. The amount  of cash and due  from banks held on any
one day  is significantly  influenced by  changes in  cash items  in process  of
collection. At December 31, 1995, cash and due from banks was $4.0 million, $0.9
million more than at December 31, 1994.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    Investment securities consist of two categories: Available for Sale and Held
to  Maturity. Securities  classified as  Held to  Maturity are  those securities
Border Bank has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are
carried at amortized cost. Securities classified as Available for Sale are those
securities which Border Bank  intends to hold for  an indefinite period of  time
but  not  necessarily to  maturity.  These securities  may  be sold  as  part of
asset/liability management strategy, or in response to significant movements  in
interest  rates, liquidity  needs, regulatory capital  considerations, and other
similar factors. These securities are carried at fair value in the  accompanying
balance sheet. The percentage of the investment portfolio allocated to Available
for  Sale and Held to Maturity was 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively at December 31,
1995 compared with 14.9% and 85.1%, respectively at December 31, 1994.

    At December  31, 1995,  U.S. Government  Agency securities  with a  carrying
value  of approximately  $4.0 million  contained interest  features which adjust
according to  various dual  indices and/or  which could  adjust to  zero.  These
features  relate only to the  interest payments and do  not affect the principal
amount due.  At  December  31,  1995,  the  weighted  average  coupon  of  these
securities  equalled 2.76%.  One issue  with a  book value  of $1.5  million has

LOANS

    Border Bank closely monitors the markets in which it conducts its lending. A
certain  degree of risk is  inherent in the extension  of credit. Management has
instituted credit policies designed to monitor  and control the level of  losses
and  nonperforming  assets.  These  policies require  evaluation  of  new credit
requests and continuing review of existing credits in order to identify, monitor
and quantify any evidence of deterioration of quality or potential loss.

    Border Bank  attempts to  diversify  risk with  the objective  of  achieving
optimum  rates of return while minimizing losses for the benefit of stockholders
and protection of depositors. Diversification of  the loan portfolio by type  of
loan,  industry concentration and type of borrower  also tends to reduce risk by
minimizing the adverse impact of any single event or set of occurrences.

    Total loans of $47.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995  increased
$1.5 million or 3.2% compared to the year ended December 31,1994 levels of $45.9
million  and decreased $2.5 million or 5.2%  for the year ended December 31,1994
compared to levels of $48.4 million at December 31, 1993. The increase in  loans
outstanding at December 31, 1995 compared to December 31, 1994 was the result of
increases in real estate loans which were offset by small declines in commercial
and  consumer  loans. The  largest component  of the  portfolio continues  to be
commercial mortgages. At December 31,  1995, commercial mortgages totaled  $20.2
million  or 42.7% of the  total loan portfolio. At  December 31, 1994 commercial
mortgages were $15.9 million or 34.7% of the total loan portfolio.

    Border Bank has made  loans to individuals or  companies that are  residents
of,  or domiciled in,  Mexico. Such loans  may be secured  or unsecured. Secured
loans include  loans secured  by  deposits in  Border  Bank, real  estate  loans
secured  by properties located within the United States and loans on real estate
and equipment where the collateral is located in Mexico. Following is a  summary
of  loans to individuals and  companies that are residents  of, or domiciled in,
Mexico at the end of each of the last three years:

</TABLE>

    As  shown in  the preceding  table, loans  maturing within  one year totaled
$27.9 million or  59.0% of total  loans at  December 31, 1995.  Border Bank  may
renew  or  extend  a loan  upon  maturity  based on  management's  assessment of
individual loans. Extension or renewal  of loans without reduction of  principal
for  more than one  twelve-month period are generally  avoided, unless loans are
fully secured,  or are  revolving lines  of credit  subject to  at least  annual
analysis and renewal.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

    Nonperforming  assets  consist  of  nonaccrual loans,  loans  for  which the
interest rate has been renegotiated  below originally contracted rates and  real
estate  or other assets that have been  acquired in partial or full satisfaction
of loan obligations.  At December 31,  1995, there were  twelve loans  totalling
$189 thousand on nonaccrual status, none of which had a balance greater than $40
thousand.

    Border  Bank's policy generally is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when
payment of principal or interest is  contractually past due 90 days, or  earlier
when  concern exists as to ultimate collection of principal and interest. At the
time a loan  is placed  on nonaccrual  status, interest  previously accrued  but
uncollected is reversed and charged against current income.

    Loans  which are contractually past due 90 days or more, which are both well
secured or  guaranteed  by financially  responsible  third parties  and  in  the
process of collection, generally are not placed on nonaccrual status. The amount
of  such loans past due 90  days or more for the  years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993 that are not  classified as nonaccrual totaled $1.1 million,  $414
thousand,  and  $395 thousand,  respectively. The  increase  for the  year ended
December 31, 1995  as compared to  the year  ended December 31,  1994 is  partly
attributable  to two credits  totaling $491 thousand  included in that category,
which are secured by real estate and in the process of collection.

    Nonperforming assets of  $433 thousand  at December 31,  1995 decreased  $49
thousand  or 10.2%  compared to  December 31, 1994  levels of  $482 thousand and
decreased $317 thousand or 39.7% for  the year ended December 31, 1994  compared
to December 31, 1993 levels of $799 thousand.

    Border Bank's classification of nonperforming loans includes those loans for
which management believes collection is doubtful. Management is not aware of any
specific  borrower relationships  that are  not reported  as nonperforming where
management has serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with
the present  loan repayment  terms  which would  cause nonperforming  assets  to
increase materially.

    Interest income that would have been  recorded for the years ended  December
31,  1995 and 1994  on nonaccrual loans  had such loans  performed in accordance
with their  original  contract  terms  was approximately  $2  thousand  and  $34
thousand, respectively.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    Management  analyzes the  loan portfolio  to determine  the adequacy  of the
allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision required to maintain  an
adequate  allowance.  In assessing  the  adequacy of  the  allowance, management
reviews the size,  quality and  risks of loans  in the  portfolio and  considers
factors  such as specific known risks, past experience, the status and amount of
nonperforming assets and economic conditions. A specific percentage is allocated
to total loans in good standing and additional amounts are added for  individual
loans considered to have specific loss potential. Loans identified as losses are
charged  off. Based on total allocations,  the provision is recorded to maintain
the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management. While management uses
available information to recognize  losses on loans, there  can be no  assurance
that  future additions to the allowance will not be necessary. The allowance for
loan losses at December 31, 1995 was $1.1 million, which represents an  increase
of  $199  thousand or  22.1% as  compared to  the allowance  for loan  losses at
December 31, 1994.  Management believes that  the allowance for  loan losses  at
December  31, 1995 adequately reflects the risks in the loan portfolio. However,
various regulatory agencies, as an  integral part of their examination  process,
periodically  review Border Bank's allowance for  loan losses. Such agencies may
require Border  Bank to  recognize additions  to the  allowance based  on  their
judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

    Management  of  Border Bank  does not  consider loans  to residents  of, and
companies domiciled in,  Mexico to present  an unusual risk.  Border Bank's  net
charge-offs   from  these  loans  has  not  been  significant  and  it  has  not
specifically allocated allowance for loan losses to these loans.

    As a  result  of  criticisms  reflected  in the  June  28,  1993  Report  of
Examination  by the Texas  Department of Banking,  a Memorandum of Understanding
(the "Memorandum") was  entered into between  the Board of  Directors of  Border
Bank   and  the  Banking   Commissioner  of  Texas  on   October  8,  1993.  The

                                      F-79
<PAGE>
Memorandum required that Border Bank, among other provisions, increase Board  of
Directors  supervision over  loan activities,  revise the  existing loan policy,
increase  the  allowance   for  loan  losses   and  reduce  criticized   assets.
Additionally,  Border Bank's  Board of  Directors is  required to  submit to the
Commissioner and Regional Director of the  FDIC a written report of the  actions
taken  to comply with the Memorandum. Management has made efforts to comply with
the requirements of the Memorandum.

    The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for loan losses
for the last five years:

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

    Bank premises and equipment  of $3.3 million  at December 31,1995  increased
$77  thousand or  2.4% compared to  $3.2 million  at December 31,  1994. The net
increase for the year ended December  31, 1995 is primarily attributable to  the
completion of an expansion of Border Bank, which began in 1994, and the purchase
of additional land for future expansion.

DEPOSITS

    Total deposits of $102.0 million at December 31, 1995 increased $1.1 million
or  1.1%  compared to  December 31,  1994  levels and  total deposits  of $100.9
million for the  year ended December  31, 1994 increased  $344 thousand or  0.3%
compared  to December  31, 1993 levels  of $100.5 million.  The relatively small
changes in  deposits are  consistent  in all  categories of  deposits  including
public  funds and  reflect the  stable level of  deposits at  Border Bank. Total
public funds (including public funds demand deposits, public funds money  market
and  NOW  accounts and  public  funds time  deposits)  were $10.0  million, $9.8
million and $10.6  million at December  31, 1995, 1994  and 1993,  respectively.
Border Bank actively seeks consumer and commercial deposits. The following table
presents the composition of total deposits at the end of the last three years:

    Based upon the  location of  Border Bank  with regard  to the  international
boundary  with Mexico, foreign  deposits from Mexican  sources represent a major
source of funding.  Although Border  Bank experienced  some short-term  negative
impact on its Mexican deposits due to the recent devaluation of the peso, Border
Bank's Mexican deposit levels have since recovered.

    The  following  table  presents  foreign  deposits,  primarily  from Mexican
sources, at December 31, 1995 and 1994:

LIQUIDITY

    Liquidity management  assures  that adequate  funds  are available  to  meet
deposit   withdrawals,  loan  demand   and  maturing  liabilities.  Insufficient
liquidity can  result  in  higher  costs of  obtaining  funds,  while  excessive
liquidity  can  lead to  a  decline in  earnings due  to  the cost  of foregoing
alternative investments.  The ability  to renew  or acquire  additional  deposit
liabilities  is a major source of  liquidity. Border Bank's principal sources of
funds are  primarily within  the local  markets of  Border Bank  and consist  of
deposits, interest and principal payments on loans and investment securities.

    Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable,
or  which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future. These include
cash, federal funds sold and U.S. Government-backed securities. At December  31,
1995,  Border Bank's  liquidity ratio,  defined as  cash, U.S. Government-backed
securities, and  federal  funds sold  as  a  percentage of  deposits  was  45.8%
compared  to 43.6% at  December 31, 1994  and compared to  39.0% at December 31,
1993.

    Liability  liquidity  is  provided  by  access  to  core  funding   sources,
principally  various customers' interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit
accounts in Border Bank's trade area.

    During 1995,  funds  for $10.7  million  of investment  purchases  and  $1.9
million  of net loan growth came from  various sources, including a net increase
in deposits of  $1.1 million,  $15.6 million  proceeds from  maturing or  called
securities and $1.9 million of net income.

    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
requires  that  federal  bank  regulatory  authorities  take  "prompt corrective
action" with respect to any depository institution which does not meet specified
minimum capital requirements. The applicable regulations establish five  capital
levels  which require or  permit the Federal  Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") and  other  regulatory  authorities  to  take  supervisory  action.  The
relevant   classifications   range  from   "well  capitalized"   to  "critically
capitalized." The classifications are generally determined by applicable  ratios
of  the institution,  including Tier  I capital  to risk-weighted  assets, total
capital to  risk-weighted assets  and leverage  ratios. Based  on Border  Bank's
capital  ratios  at  December 31,  1995,  Border  Bank was  classified  as "well
capitalized" under the applicable regulations. As a result, Border Bank does not
believe that the prompt corrective  action regulations have any material  effect
on its activities or operations.

    The  funds  management policy  of  Border Bank  is  to maintain  a liability
sensitive position. Changes in net interest income occur when interest rates  on
loans  and investments change in a different time period from that of changes in
interest rates on liabilities,  or when the mix  and volume of  interest-earning
assets  and interest-bearing  liabilities change. The  interest rate sensitivity
gap represents the dollar amount of difference between rate sensitive assets and
rate sensitive liabilities within  a given time period  ("GAP"). A GAP ratio  is
determined  by dividing rate  sensitive assets by  rate sensitive liabilities. A
ratio of 1.0 indicates a perfectly matched position, in which case the effect on
net interest income due to interest rate movements would be zero.

    Rate sensitive liabilities maturing within one year exceeded rate  sensitive
assets with comparable maturities at December 31, 1995 by $33.2 million.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

    Financial  institutions  are  impacted  differently  by  inflation  than are
industrial companies.  While industrial  and manufacturing  companies  generally
have   significant  investments  in  inventories  and  fixed  assets,  financial
institutions ordinarily do  not have  such investments. As  a result,  financial
institutions  are generally  in a better  position than  industrial companies to
respond to inflationary trends by  monitoring the spread between interest  costs
and  interest income yields through adjustments to maturities and interest rates
of assets and liabilities. In addition,  inflation tends to increase demand  for
loans  from financial institutions as industrial companies attempt to maintain a
constant level  of goods  in inventory  and assets.  As consumers  of goods  and
services,  financial institutions are affected  by inflation as prices increase,
causing an increase in costs  of salaries, employee benefits, occupancy  expense
and similar items.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Stockholders'  equity of $17.1  million at December 31,  1995 reflects a net
increase of  $1.2 million  or 7.8%  compared to  stockholders' equity  of  $15.8
million  at December 31,  1994. This net increase  was primarily attributable to
earnings for 1995  of $1.9  million. The  net increase  in stockholders'  equity
reflects  dividends paid on common  stock of $800 thousand  in 1995. Border Bank
also declared and paid a $500 thousand dividend in January 1996.

    The risk-based capital standards as established by the FDIC apply to  Border
Bank.  The numerator of the  risk-based capital ratio for  banks includes Tier I
capital, consisting of common stockholders' equity and qualifying cumulative and
noncumulative perpetual  preferred stock;  and Tier  II capital,  consisting  of

                                      F-84
<PAGE>
other preferred stock, reserve for possible loan losses and certain subordinated
and  term-debt securities. Beginning on December  31, 1993, goodwill is deducted
from Tier I  capital. At no  time is Tier  II capital allowed  to exceed Tier  I
capital in the calculation of total capital. The denominator or asset portion of
the  risk-based capital  ratio aggregates generic  classes of  balance sheet and
off-balance sheet exposures, each weighted by one of four factors, ranging  from
0% to 100%, based on the relative risk of the exposure class.

    Ratio targets are set for both Tier I capital and Total Capital (Tier I plus
Tier  II capital). The minimum  level of Tier I capital  to total assets is 4.0%
and the minimum  Total Capital  ratio is  8.0%. The  FDIC has  guidelines for  a
leverage  ratio that is  an additional evaluation of  capital adequacy of banks.
The leverage ratio is defined to be Border Bank's Tier I capital divided by  its
risk   adjusted  total  assets.  An  insured  depository  institution  is  "Well
Capitalized" for purposes  of FDICIA if  its Total Risk-Based  Capital Ratio  is
equal  to or greater than 10.0%, and Tier I Risk-Based Capital Ratio is equal to
or greater than 6.0%, and Tier I  Leverage Capital Ratio is equal to or  greater
than  5.0%. Based  on capital  ratios, Border Bank  is within  the definition of
"Well Capitalized" for FDIC purposes at December 31, 1995.

    Border Bank's Tier I Risk-Based  Capital Ratio was approximately 18.12%  and
18.01%  at  December  31,  1995  and  1994,  respectively.  Border  Bank's Total
Risk-Based Capital Ratio  was approximately  19.29% and 19.02%  at December  31,
1995  and 1994,  respectively. Border Bank's  Tier I Leverage  Capital Ratio was
approximately 14.51% and 13.58% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

    Effective January  1,  1995,  Border  Bank adopted  Statement  114  and  the
amendment  thereof, Statement  118. Under  Statement 114,  a loan  is considered
impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that  a
creditor  will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the  loan agreement. Statement  114 requires that  an impaired loan  be
valued  utilizing (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the  effective  interest  rate of  the  loan,  (ii) the  fair  value  of  the
underlying  collateral,  or  (iii)  the observable  market  price  of  the loan.
Statement  118  amended  Statement  114  by  expanding  the  related  disclosure
requirements  and permitting  use of  existing methods  for recognizing interest
income on impaired loans.

    Loans which were  restructured prior to  the adoption of  Statement 114  and
which  are performing in accordance with the renegotiated terms are not required
to be reported  as impaired. Loans  restructured subsequent to  the adoption  of
Statement  114  are  required  to  be  reported  as  impaired  in  the  year  of
restructuring. Thereafter,  such loans  can be  removed from  the impaired  loan
disclosure  if the loans  were paying a market  rate of interest  at the time of
restructuring and are performing in accordance with their renegotiated terms.

                                      F-85

    For loans covered  by Statement  114, Border  Bank makes  an assessment  for
impairment  when and while such loans are  on nonaccrual status or when the loan
has been restructured.  When a loan  with unique risk  characteristics has  been
identified  as  being impaired,  the amount  of impairment  will be  measured by
Border Bank using discounted cash flows,  except when it is determined that  the
sole  source of repayment  for the loan  is the operation  or liquidation of the
underlying collateral. In such case, the  current fair value of the  collateral,
reduced by costs to sell, will be used in place of discounted cash flows. At the
time  a loan is placed on  nonaccrual status, interest previously recognized but
uncollected is reversed and charged against current income. Subsequent  interest
payments  received on nonaccrual  loans are either  applied against principal or
reported as  income,  depending upon  management's  assessment of  the  ultimate
collectibility of principal.

    In management's opinion, the adoption of Statement 114 and Statement 118 has
not  had, and  is not anticipated  to have,  a material effect  on Border Bank's
results of operations.

    In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("Statement 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  Statement
123  establishes financial  accounting and  reporting standards  for stock-based
employee compensation plans.

    Statement 123 encourages entities  to adopt a "fair  value" based method  of
accounting  for stock-based compensation plans which requires an estimate of the
fair value of stock options or  other equity instruments which employees  become
entitled  to  when  they  have rendered  requisite  service  or  satisfied other
conditions necessary  to  earn  the  right  to  benefit  from  the  instruments.
Compensation  cost is then  determined based on  the fair value  estimate and is
recognized over  the  service  period,  which is  usually  the  vesting  period.
Statement  123  also requires  that an  employer's financial  statements include
certain  disclosures  about   stock-based  employee  compensation   arrangements
regardless of the method used to account for them.

    The  accounting requirements of Statement 123 are effective for transactions
entered into in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. In management's
opinion, the implementation of Statement 123  should have no material effect  on
Border Bank's financial statements.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
The Border Bank:

    We  have audited  the accompanying  balance sheets  of The  Border Bank (the
"Bank") as  of  December  31, 1995  and  1994,  and the  related  statements  of
earnings,  changes in stockholders' equity and cash  flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Bank'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 financial  position  of The  Border Bank  as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the each of the  years in the three-year period  ended December 31, 1995  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    As  discussed in note  1 to the  financial statements, the  Bank changed its
method of accounting for investment securities  in 1994 to adopt the  provisions
of  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The  accounting  and reporting  policies of  the  Bank conform  to generally
accepted accounting principles  and to prevailing  practices within the  banking
industry. A summary of the more significant accounting policies follows:

    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported amounts  of  assets and  liabilities and
disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities  at the date  of the  financial
statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    For purposes of reporting  cash flows, cash and  due from banks and  federal
funds  sold are considered to be  cash equivalents. Federal funds sold generally
have one-day maturities.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    In May  1993,  the  Financial Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement   of  Financial  Accounting  Standards   No.  115  ("Statement  115"),
"Accounting for Certain  Investments in Debt  and Equity Securities."  Statement
115  establishes standards of financial accounting and reporting for investments
in equity securities  that have a  readily determinable fair  value and for  all
investments  in debt securities. At acquisition,  a bank is required to classify
debt and  equity securities  into one  of three  categories: held  to  maturity,
trading  or available for  sale. At each reporting  date, the appropriateness of
the classification is reassessed. Investments in debt securities are  classified
as  held to maturity and measured at amortized cost in the balance sheet only if
management has  the positive  intent and  ability to  hold those  securities  to
maturity.  Securities that  are bought and  held principally for  the purpose of
selling them in the  near term are  classified as trading  and measured at  fair
value  in the balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses included in
earnings. Investments  not  classified  as  held to  maturity  nor  trading  are
classified as available for sale and measured at fair value in the balance sheet
with  unrealized  holding  gains and  losses,  net of  applicable  income taxes,
reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.

    Effective January 1,  1994, the  Bank adopted  Statement 115,  which had  no
impact  on  the Bank's  income statement  as all  securities were  classified as
either held  to  maturity  or  available for  sale.  Accounting  for  securities
classified  as held to  maturity will continue  on the basis  of amortized cost.
Securities classified as  available for sale  will be measured  at market  value
with  the  net  unrealized  holding  gains and  losses  reported  in  a separate
component of  stockholders'  equity  until  realized.  Purchases  of  investment
securities  are classified as available for sale  or held to maturity at time of
purchase as determined by management.

    Premiums and  discounts are  amortized  and accreted  using a  method  which
approximates  level yield.  Gains and  losses on  available for  sale investment
securities sold are recognized in  operations at the time  of sale based on  the
specific identification method. Security purchases and sales are recorded on the
trade date.

LOANS

    Management  continually reviews the loan  portfolio to identify loans which,
with respect to principal or interest, have or may become collection problems. A
loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past
due 90 days or more, and the loan is not both well-secured and in the process of
collection. A loan is  also placed on nonaccrual  status immediately if, in  the
opinion  of management, full collection of principal or interest is unlikely. At
the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
status, interest previously recognized but  uncollected is reversed and  charged
against  current  income. Subsequent  interest  payments received  on nonaccrual
loans are either applied against principal  or reported as income, depending  on
management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of principal.

    Unearned  interest on  installment loans  is recognized  as income  over the
terms of the related loans on a basis which results in approximately level rates
of return over the terms of the loans.

    In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114 ("Statement 114"), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which
addresses the  accounting  by creditors  for  impairment of  certain  loans,  as
defined.  In October 1994,  Statement 114 was amended  by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,
Income Recognition and Disclosures."  Implementation of these pronouncements  in
the first quarter of 1995 did not have a material effect on the Bank's financial
statements.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The  allowance for loan losses  is established by a  charge to operations as
deemed necessary by management to maintain  the allowance for loan losses at  an
amount considered adequate to absorb known or possible loan losses in the Bank's
loan  portfolio. The provision is determined based on management's evaluation of
the loan  portfolio,  giving  consideration  to  existing  economic  conditions,
changes  in the loan portfolio, historical  loan loss factors and other relevant
information. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

    Loans are  charged against  the allowance  for loan  losses when  management
believes  the  collection  of  principal  is  unlikely.  Recoveries  of  amounts
previously charged off are credited to the allowance.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

    Bank  premises  and  equipment  are  recorded  at  cost.  Expenditures   for
improvements  are capitalized. Repairs  and maintenance which  do not extend the
life of  bank  premises  and  equipment are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over
the  estimated  useful lives  of the  assets.  Any gain  or loss  resulting from
disposition of premises and equipment is reflected in earnings.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

    Other real estate owned is recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure
which is subsequently considered cost. At subsequent dates, other real estate is
carried at the lower of fair value  minus estimated costs to sell or cost.  Fair
values are determined generally by reference to appraisals. Rental income earned
and  expenses incurred  related to real  estate owned are  recognized during the
period earned or incurred and are  included in noninterest expense at their  net
amount.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

    Deferred  tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax
consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial   statement
carrying  amounts of  existing assets and  liabilities and  their respective tax
bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets  and
liabilities  are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary  differences are expected to be recovered  or
settled. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of the change
in the asset or liability during the year.

(2)   RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
    The  Bank is required to maintain certain  daily reserve balances on hand or
on deposit with  the Federal  Reserve Bank  in accordance  with Federal  Reserve
Board requirements. These deposits are noninterest bearing and not available for
investment  purposes. Cash and  due from bank  balances maintained in accordance
with such requirements at December 31, 1995 was approximately $25,000.

(3)   INVESTMENT SECURITIES
    The amortized cost and estimated market value, which is the carrying  value,
of  investment securities available  for sale at December  31, 1995 and December
31, 1994 are as follows:

                                THE BORDER BANK

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(4)   LOANS (CONTINUED)
    The majority of the Bank's loans are to companies and individuals which  are
headquartered or are employed in the Rio Grande Valley, but may conduct business
on  a statewide  national or  international scale.  Repayment of  those loans is
dependent on the  economy in  that area, the  economic situation  in Mexico  and
surrounding areas.

    The  Border Bank makes loans to  individuals or companies that are residents
of, or domiciled  in, Mexico. Such  loans may be  secured or unsecured.  Secured
loans  include loans secured by deposits in  the Bank, real estate in the United
States or Mexico,  or equipment. At  December 31,  1995 and 1994,  the Bank  had
outstanding  approximately  $11,826,000 and  $12,178,000, respectively,  of such
loans. Interest income related  to such loans for  the years ended December  31,
1995,  1994  and 1993  was  approximately $1,329,000,  $732,000  and $1,110,000,
respectively.

    All loans to officers, directors and stockholders of the Bank and associates
of such persons are, in the opinion  of management, made in the ordinary  course
of  business  on  substantially the  same  terms, including  interest  rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans of like quality
and risk  of collectibility.  The  outstanding balance  of direct  and  indirect
personal  borrowings of executive officers and directors of the Bank at December
31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $1,704,000 and $2,403,000, respectively.

    Nonaccrual loans approximated $189,000 and $226,000 at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. If interest on these loans had been accrued at the  original
contractual  rates, interest income  would have been  increased by approximately
$2,400 and $34,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. There were no
renegotiated loans outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

    In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various  transactions
which,  in  accordance with  generally accepted  accounting principles,  are not
included  on  the  balance  sheets.  These  transactions  are  referred  to   as
"off-balance sheet commitments." The Bank enters into these transactions to meet
the  financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to
extend credit and letters of credit  which involve elements of credit risk.  The
Bank  minimizes its exposure to loss  under these commitments by subjecting them
to credit approval and monitoring procedures.

    Outstanding commitments and letters of credit at December 31, 1995 and  1994
are approximately as follows:

</TABLE>

    Management  believes that  it is  more likely than  not that  the results of
future operations  will  generate  sufficient  taxable  income  to  realize  the
deferred tax assets.

(9)   EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
    The Bank has a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of one individual.
The  plan  provides for  a  retirement benefit,  payable  to the  individual (or
designated beneficiary or estate  if death occurs prior  to payment of the  full
amount  of deferred compensation), of $13,350 each year beginning March 15, 1995
and continuing thereafter for fourteen years.

    The Bank owns  and is  the beneficiary  of a  life insurance  policy on  the
former employee covered by the deferred compensation plan. The face value of the
life  insurance policy is approximately  equal to the total  benefits to be paid
under the plan.

(10)  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
    The Bank is involved in certain  claims and suits occurring in the  ordinary
course  of business.  Management believes that  the probable  resolution of such
claims and  suits will  not have  a  material adverse  affect on  the  financial
condition of the Bank.

</TABLE>

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

    Carrying  value approximates  fair value  because of  the short  maturity of
these instruments and no anticipated credit concerns.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD

    Carrying value  approximates fair  value because  of the  short maturity  of
these instruments and no anticipated credit concerns.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    The  fair  values of  investment securities  are  estimated based  on quoted
market prices from investment dealers and companies.

NET LOANS

    The fair value of loans is estimated for segregated groupings of loans  with
similar  financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated  by type  and the fair
value of loans is estimated using current market rates for the type of loan.

DEPOSITS

    The fair value of  deposits with short-term or  no stated maturity, such  as
checking,  savings,  NOW accounts  and money  market accounts,  is equal  to the
amounts payable at December 31, 1995. The fair value of certificates of deposits
is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates  currently offered for  deposits of similar  remaining
maturities.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

    The  fair value of  commitments to extend  credit and letters  of credit are
estimated using current interest rates and committed rates.

(12)  REGULATORY SUPERVISION
    As a  result  of  criticisms  reflected  in the  June  28,  1993  Report  of
Examination  by the Texas  Department of Banking,  a Memorandum of Understanding
(the "Memorandum") was entered into between  the Board of Directors of the  Bank
and  the  Banking  Commissioner of  Texas  on  October 8,  1993.  The Memorandum
required that  the Bank,  among  other provisions,  increase Board  of  Director
supervision  over loan activities, revise the existing loan policy, increase the
allowance for loan losses and reduce criticized assets. Additionally, the Bank's
Board of  Directors are  required to  submit to  the Commissioner  and  Regional
Director  of the FDIC, a written report of  the actions taken to comply with the
Memorandum

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(12)  REGULATORY SUPERVISION (CONTINUED)
within fifteen days after  the end of each  calendar quarter. Failure to  comply
with  the requirements  of the Memorandum  could subject the  Bank to additional
action by bank  regulatory authorities.  Management has made  efforts to  comply
with the requirements of the Memorandum and believes such additional action will
not be taken by regulatory authorities.

(13)  PENDING TRANSACTION
    On January 9, 1996, a definitive agreement was signed under which the Border
Bank  will be purchased by Texas  State Bank, the principal operating subsidiary
of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. The agreement has been approved by the Boards
of Directors of the Border Bank, Texas State Bank and Texas Regional Bancshares,
Inc. The sale of the Bank is  subject to approval by the appropriate  regulatory
agencies  and contingent  upon, among  other things,  Texas Regional Bancshares,
Inc. having  successfully  raised  additional  capital  to  partially  fund  the
transaction.

(14)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
    On  January 12,  1996, the Bank  declared and  paid a dividend  of $2.50 per
share, or $500,000 in the aggregate, to shareholders of record at that date.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    Articles  2.02A(16) and 2.02-1 of the  Texas Business Corporation Act grants
to each corporation organized  thereunder the power  to indemnify its  directors
and officers against liability, and to purchase and maintain liability insurance
for  those persons  as, and to  the extent,  permitted by Article  2.02-1 of the
Texas Business Corporation Act. In addition, reference is hereby made to Article
V of the Bylaws of the Registrant incorporated herein by reference.

    The general effect of Articles 2.02.A.(16) and 2.02-1 of the Texas  Business
Corporation Act and Article V of the Bylaws of Texas Regional is that the person
may be indemnified only if it is determined that the person conducted himself in
good  faith, reasonably believed that the  conduct was in the corporation's best
interests (or not opposed to  its best interests), and  in the case of  criminal
proceeding  he had no reasonable  cause to believe the  conduct was unlawful. In
any case, a  person may  not be  indemnified if the  basis for  liability was  a
personal  benefit improperly received  by the person  or if the  person is found
liable to the corporation. The indemnification may generally include  judgments,
penalties,  fines,  settlements  and reasonable  expenses  incurred.  Unless the
indemnification has  been made  mandatory in  the Articles  of Incorporation  or
Bylaws  of the  company, a  determination of indemnification  must be  made by a
majority vote of a quorum of directors who at the time are not named  defendants
or  respondents, or (if such a quorum can not be obtained) by a committee of the
board composed  of  two  or more  directors  who  are not  named  defendants  or
respondents,  or by special legal counsel selected in accordance with prescribed
procedures, or by shareholders in a vote that excludes shares held by directors.
Management of Texas  Regional is  taking the position  that the  indemnification
under  Art. 2.02-1.B has  been made mandatory  by Article V  of Texas Regional's
Bylaws. In addition Article 2.02-1 provides that the corporation shall indemnify
a director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred by him in  connection
with  a proceeding in which he is or was a defendant or respondent because he is
or was a  director or  officer in  which he has  been wholly  successful in  his
defense.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

    Insofar  as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to  directors, officers and controlling persons of  the
Registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing provisions, or  otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the  opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
such  indemnification is against public  policy as expressed in  the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification  against
such  liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or controlling person  of the Registrant in  the
successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered,  the  Registrant will,  unless in  the opinion  of its  counsel, the
matter has  been  settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit  to  a  court  of
appropriate  jurisdiction  the question  whether such  indemnification by  it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the  final
adjudication of such issue.

                                                    ______________________, 1996


Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated
First Southwest Company
As Representatives of the
     Several Underwriters
c/o Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated
135 East Baltimore Street
Baltimore, Maryland  21202

Gentlemen:

   Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company") and the
shareholder of the Company identified on Schedule II hereto (the "Selling
Shareholder"), propose to sell to the several underwriters (the "Underwriters")
named in Schedule I hereto for whom you are acting as representatives (the
"Representatives") an aggregate of 2,200,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Voting Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Firm Shares"), of which 2,180,000
shares will be sold by the Company and 20,000 shares will be sold by the Selling
Shareholder.  The respective amounts of the Firm Shares to be so purchased by
the several Underwriters are set forth opposite their names in Schedule I
hereto.  The Company and the Selling Shareholder are sometimes referred to
herein collectively as the "Sellers."  The Company also proposes to sell at the
Underwriters' option an aggregate of up to 330,000 additional shares of the
Company's Class A Voting Common Stock (the "Option Shares") as set forth below.

   As the Representatives, you have advised the Company and the Selling
Shareholder (a) that you are authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf
of the several Underwriters, and (b) that the several Underwriters are willing,
acting severally and not jointly, to purchase the numbers of Firm Shares set
forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I, plus their pro rata portion
of the Option Shares if you elect to exercise the over-allotment option in whole
or in part for the accounts of the several Underwriters.  The Firm Shares and
the Option Shares (to the extent the aforementioned


<PAGE>

option is exercised) are herein collectively called the "Shares."

   In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and of the
interests of the parties in the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

   1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND THE SELLING
      SHAREHOLDER.


      (a)    The Company represents and warrants to each of the Underwriters as
   follows:

        (i)  A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 33-_______) with
   respect to the Shares has been carefully prepared by the Company in
   conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
   (the "Act"), and the Rules and Regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of
   the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder and has
   been filed with the Commission.  Copies of such registration statement,
   including any amendments thereto, the preliminary prospectuses (meeting the
   requirements of the Rules and Regulations) contained therein and the
   exhibits, financial statements and schedules, as finally amended and
   revised, have heretofore been delivered by the Company to you.  Such
   registration statement, together with any registration statement filed by
   the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Act, herein referred to as the
   "Registration Statement," which shall be deemed to include all information
   omitted therefrom in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the Prospectus
   referred to below, has become effective under the Act and no post-effective
   amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed as of the date of
   this Agreement.  "Prospectus" means (a) the form of prospectus first filed
   with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (b) the last preliminary
   prospectus included in the Registration Statement filed prior to the time it
   becomes effective or filed pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Act that is
   delivered by the Company to the Underwriters for delivery to purchasers of
   the Shares, together with the term sheet or abbreviated term sheet filed
   with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Act.  Each
   preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement prior to the
   time it becomes effective is herein referred to as a "Preliminary
   Prospectus."

       (ii)  The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
   corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas, with
   corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its
   business as described in the Registration Statement.  Texas State Bank (the
   "Bank") is the only subsidiary, direct or indirect, of the Company.  The
   Bank has been duly organized and is validly existing either as a banking
   corporation under the laws of the State of Texas or as a corporation in good
   standing under the laws of the


                                      -2-

<PAGE>

   jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power and authority to
   own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the
   Registration Statement.  The Company and the Bank are duly qualified to
   transact business in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of their
   business requires such qualification.  The outstanding shares of capital
   stock of the Bank have been duly authorized and validly issued, are
   fully paid and non-assessable and to the extent shown in Exhibit 21 to
   the Registration Statement, are owned by the Company free and clear of
   all liens, encumbrances and equities and claims; and no options,
   warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to
   issue or other rights to convert any obligations into shares of capital
   stock or ownership interests in the Bank are outstanding.

      (iii)  The outstanding shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of the
   Company, including all shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder, have
   been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-
   assessable; the portion of the Shares to be issued and sold by the Company
   has been duly authorized and when issued and paid for as contemplated herein
   will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and no preemptive
   rights of shareholders exist with respect to any of the Shares or the issue
   and sale thereof.  Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the
   offering or sale of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise
   to any rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied, for or
   relating to the registration of any shares of Class A Voting Common Stock.
   Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of
   the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights, other
   than those that have been waived or satisfied, for or relating to the
   registration of any shares of Class A Voting Common Stock.  Except as
   described in the Registration Statement, there are no contracts, agreements
   or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person
   the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the
   Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by
   such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the
   securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any
   securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement
   filed by the Company under the Act.

       (iv)  The information set forth under the caption "Capitalization" in
   the Prospectus is true and correct.  All of the Shares conform to the
   description thereof contained in the Registration Statement.  The form of
   certificates for the Shares conforms to the corporate law of the
   jurisdiction of the Company's incorporation.

        (v)  The Commission has not issued an order preventing or suspending
   the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus relating to the proposed
   offering of the Shares nor instituted proceedings for that purpose.  The
   Registration Statement


                                      -3-

<PAGE>

   contains, and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto
   will contain, all statements which are required to be stated therein by,
   and will conform to, the requirements of the Act and the Rules and
   Regulations.  No contract or document of a character required to be
   described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed
   as an exhibit to the Registration Statement is not so described or filed
   as required.  The Registration Statement and any amendment thereto do not
   contain, and will not contain, any untrue statement of a material fact,
   and do not omit, and will not omit, to state any material fact required
   to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
   misleading. The Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto do
   not contain, and will not contain, any untrue statement of a material
   fact, and do not omit, and will not omit, to state any material fact
   required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
   therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
   not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no
   representations or warranties as to information contained in or omitted
   from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any such amendment
   or supplement, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written
   information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter
   through the Representatives, specifically for use in the preparation
   thereof.

       (vi)  The consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Bank,
   together with related notes and schedules as set forth or incorporated by
   reference in the Registration Statement, present fairly the consolidated
   financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the
   Company and the Bank, at the indicated dates and for the indicated periods.
   Such financial statements and related schedules have been prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting, consistently
   applied throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed herein, and all
   adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods
   have been made.  The pro forma financial statements and other pro forma
   financial information included in the Registration Statement and the
   Prospectus present fairly the information shown therein, have been prepared
   in accordance with the Commission's rules and guidelines with respect to pro
   forma financial statements, have been properly compiled on the pro forma
   bases described therein, and, in the opinion of the Company, the assumptions
   used in the preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments used
   therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances
   referred to therein.

      (vii)  KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, who have certified certain of the financial
   statements filed with the Commission as part of the Registration Statement,
   are independent public accountants as required by the Act and the Rules and
   Regulations.

     (viii)  Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the


                                      -4-

<PAGE>

   Company nor the Bank is in violation in any material respect of any
   directive or order from or agreement or understanding with the Banking
   Department of Texas (the "Department"), the Federal Deposit Insurance
   Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
   System (the "FRB") or any other governmental authority to make any
   material change in the method of conducting or that restricts their
   respective businesses.

       (ix)  Neither the Company nor the Bank is or with the giving of notice
   or lapse of time or both, will be, in violation of or in default under its
   charter or by-laws or under any agreement, lease, contract, indenture or
   other instrument or obligation to which it is a party or by which it, or any
   of its properties, is bound and which violation or default is of material
   significance in respect of the business, management, properties, assets,
   rights, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the
   Company and the Bank taken as a whole.  The execution and delivery of this
   Agreement and the Agreements and Plans of Reorganization, dated January 9,
   1996, as amended, among the Company, the Bank and each of First State Bank &
   Trust Co., Mission, Texas ("First State Bank") and The Border Bank, Hidalgo,
   Texas ("Border Bank") (the "Merger Agreements") and the consummation of the
   transactions herein and therein contemplated and the fulfillment of the
   terms hereof and thereof will not conflict with or result in a breach of any
   of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture,
   mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which the
   Company or the Bank or, to the best knowledge of the Company, First State
   Bank or Border Bank is a party, or of the charter or by-laws of the Company
   or the Bank or, to the best knowledge of the Company, First State Bank or
   Border Bank, or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or
   the Bank or, to the best knowledge of the Company, First State Bank or
   Border Bank of any court or of any regulatory body or administrative agency
   or other governmental body having jurisdiction.

        (x)  There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the best knowledge
   of the Company, threatened against the Company, the Bank, First State Bank
   or Border Bank including but not limited to actions or proceedings related
   to environmental, discrimination or bank regulatory matters, before any
   court or administrative agency which might, individually or in the
   aggregate, prevent or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by this
   Agreement or the Merger Agreements or result in any material adverse change
   in the business, condition or prospects of the Company and the Bank taken as
   a whole, except as set forth in the Registration Statement.

       (xi)  The Company and the Bank and, to the best knowledge of the
   Company, First State Bank and Border Bank have good and indefeasible title
   to all of the properties and assets reflected in their respective financial
   statements (or as described in the Registration Statement) hereinabove
   described, subject to no


                                      -5-

<PAGE>

   lien, mortgage, pledge, charge or encumbrance of any kind except those
   reflected in such financial statements (or as described in the
   Registration Statement) or which are not material in amount.  The Bank
   occupies its leased properties under valid and binding leases and, to the
   best knowledge of the Company, no default has occurred or is continuing
   thereunder that might result in any material adverse change in the
   earnings, business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations,
   condition or prospects of the Company and the Bank taken as a whole.

      (xii)  The Company and the Bank and, to the best knowledge of the
   Company, First State Bank and Border Bank have filed all Federal, State and
   foreign income tax returns which have been required to be filed and have
   paid all taxes indicated by said returns and all assessments received by
   them or any of them to the extent that such taxes have become due and are
   not being contested in good faith.  All tax liabilities of the Company have
   been adequately provided for in the financial statements of the Company that
   have been included in the Registration Statement.  To the best knowledge of
   the Company, all tax liabilities of First State Bank or Border Bank have
   been adequately provided for in the financial statements of First State Bank
   or Border Bank, as the case may be, that have been included in the
   Registration Statement.

     (xiii)  Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
   Registration Statement, as it may be amended or supplemented, there has not
   been any material adverse change in or affecting the earnings, business,
   management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or
   otherwise) or prospects of the Company and the Bank taken as a whole or, to
   the best knowledge of the Company, First State Bank or Border Bank, whether
   or not occurring in the ordinary course of business, and there has not been
   any material transaction entered into or any material transaction that is
   probable of being entered into by the Company or the Bank or, to the best
   knowledge of the Company, First State Bank or Border Bank, other than
   transactions in the ordinary course of business and changes and transactions
   described in the Registration Statement, as it may be amended or
   supplemented.  The Company and the Bank and, to the best knowledge of the
   Company, First State Bank and Border Bank have no material contingent
   obligations which are not disclosed in their respective financial statements
   that have been included in the Registration Statement.

      (xiv)  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
   the Company.  The Merger Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and
   delivered by the Company and, to the best knowledge of the Company, First
   State Bank and Border Bank.

       (xv)  All material conditions precedent to the closing of the
   transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreements have been satisfied or
   waived by the Company as of the date of this Agreement, except for the
   consummation of the offering


                                      -6-

<PAGE>

   contemplated hereby and the delivery by the Company of the purchase price
   to the shareholders of First State Bank and Border Bank.

      (xvi)  Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation,
   declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other
   governmental body necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by

<PAGE>

   the accuracy or completeness of either the representations and warranties
   of the Company contained herein or the information contained in the
   Registration Statement, such Selling Shareholder has no reason to believe
   that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this
   Section 1 are not true and correct, is familiar with the Registration
   Statement and has no knowledge of any material fact, condition or
   information not disclosed in the Registration Statement which has
   adversely affected or may adversely affect the business of the Company or
   the Bank; and the sale of the Firm Shares by such Selling Shareholder
   pursuant hereto is not prompted by any information concerning the Company

   documents incorporated by reference therein. The information pertaining
   to such Selling Shareholder under the caption "Selling Shareholder" in
   the Prospectus is complete and accurate in all material respects.

   2. PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF THE FIRM SHARES.

   (a)   On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein
   contained, and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Sellers agree
   to sell to the Underwriters and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not
   jointly, to purchase, at a price of $______ per share, the number of Firm
   Shares set forth opposite the name of each Underwriter in Schedule I hereto,
   subject to adjustments in accordance with Section 9 hereof.  The number of
   Firm Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter from each Seller shall be as
   nearly as practicable in the same proportion to the total number of Firm
   Shares being sold by each Seller as the number of Firm Shares being
   purchased by each Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares to be
   sold hereunder.  The obligations of the Company and of the Selling
   Shareholder shall be several and not joint.

   (b)   Certificates in negotiable form for the total number of the Shares to
   be sold hereunder by the Selling Shareholder have been placed in custody
   with ___________ as custodian (the "Custodian") pursuant to the Custodian
   Agreement executed by the Selling Shareholder for delivery of all Firm
   Shares to be sold hereunder by the Selling Shareholder for delivery of all
   Firm Shares to be sold hereunder by the Selling Shareholder.  The Selling
   Shareholder specifically agrees that the Firm Shares represented by the
   certificates held in custody for the Selling Shareholder under the Custodian
   Agreement are subject to the interests of the Underwriters hereunder, that
   the arrangements made by the Selling Shareholder for such custody are to
   that extent irrevocable, and that the obligations of the Selling Shareholder
   hereunder shall not be terminated by any act or deed of the Selling
   Shareholder (or by any other person, firm or corporation including the
   Company, the Custodian or the Underwriters) or by operation of law
   (including the death of an individual Selling Shareholder or the dissolution
   of a corporate Selling Shareholder) or by the occurrence of any other event
   or


                                     -10-

<PAGE>

   events, except as set forth in the Custodian Agreement.  If any such
   event should occur prior to the delivery to the Underwriters of the Firm
   Shares hereunder, certificates for the Firm Shares shall be delivered by the
   Custodian in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as
   if such event had not occurred.  The Custodian is authorized to receive and
   acknowledge receipt of the proceeds of sale of the Shares held by it against
   delivery of such Shares.

   (c)   Payment for the Firm Shares to be sold hereunder is to be made by wire
   transfer to the account of the Bank at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
   (account number 114909013) for further credit to the Company for the shares
   to be sold by it and for further credit to  _____________, as Custodian, for
   the shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder, in each case against
   delivery of certificates therefor to the Representatives for the several
   accounts of the Underwriters.  Such payment and delivery are to be made at
   the offices of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated, 135 East Baltimore Street,
   Baltimore, Maryland, at 10:00 a.m., Baltimore time, on the third business
   day after the date of this Agreement or at such other time and date not
   later than five business days thereafter as you and the Company shall agree
   upon, such time and date being herein referred to as the "Closing Date."
   (As used herein, "business day" means a day on which the New York Stock
   Exchange is open for trading and on which banks in New York are open for
   business and not permitted by law or executive order to be closed.)  The
   certificates for the Firm Shares will be delivered in such denominations and
   in such registrations as the Representatives request in writing not later
   than the second full business day prior to the Closing Date, and will be
   made available for inspection by the Representatives at least one business
   day prior to the Closing Date.

   (d)   In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein
   contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
   Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase the
   Option Shares at the price per share as set forth in the first paragraph of
   this Section 2.  The option granted hereby may be exercised in whole or in
   part by giving written notice (i) at any time before the Closing Date and
   (ii) only once thereafter within 30 days after the date of this Agreement,
   by you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, to the Company,
   setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the several
   Underwriters are exercising the option, the names and denominations in which
   the Option Shares are to be registered and the time and date at which such
   certificates are to be delivered.  The time and date at which certificates
   for Option Shares are to be delivered shall be determined by the
   Representatives but shall not be earlier than three nor later than 10 full
   business days after the exercise of such option, nor in any event prior to
   the Closing Date (such time and date being herein referred to as the "Option
   Closing Date").  If the date of exercise of the option


                                     -11-

<PAGE>

   is three or more days before the Closing Date, the notice of exercise
   shall set the Closing Date as the Option Closing Date.  The number of
   Option Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be in the same
   proportion to the total number of Option Shares being purchased as the
   number of Firm Shares being purchased by such Underwriter bears to the
   total number of Firm Shares, adjusted by you in such manner as to avoid
   fractional shares.  The option with respect to the Option Shares granted
   hereunder may be exercised only to cover over- allotments in the sale of
   the Firm  Shares by the Underwriters.  You, as Representatives of the
   several Underwriters, may cancel such option at any time prior to its
   expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.
   To the extent, if any, that the option is exercised, payment for the
   Option Shares shall be made on the Option Closing Date in New York
   Clearing House funds by certified or bank cashier's check drawn to the
   order of the Company for the Option Shares to be sold by it against
   delivery of certificates therefor at the offices of Alex. Brown & Sons
   Incorporated, 135 East Baltimore Street, Baltimore, Maryland.

   (e)   If on the Closing Date, the Selling Shareholder fails to sell the Firm
   Shares which the Selling Shareholder has agreed to sell on such date as set
   forth in SCHEDULE II hereto, the Company agrees that it will sell or arrange
   for the sale of that number of shares of Class A Voting Common Stock to the
   Underwriters which represents the Firm Shares which the Selling Shareholder
   has failed to so sell, as set forth in SCHEDULE II hereto, or such lesser
   number as may be requested by the Representatives.

   3. OFFERING BY THE UNDERWRITERS.

      It is understood that the several Underwriters are to make a public
   offering of the Firm Shares as soon as the Representatives deem it advisable
   to do so.  The Firm Shares are to be initially offered to the public at the
   initial public offering price set forth in the Prospectus.  The
   Representatives may from time to time thereafter change the public offering
   price and other selling terms.  To the extent, if at all, that any Option
   Shares are purchased pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Underwriters will
   offer them to the public on the foregoing terms.

      It is further understood that you will act as the Representatives for the
   Underwriters in the offering and sale of the Shares in accordance with a
   Master Agreement Among Underwriters entered into by you and the several
   other Underwriters.

   4. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND THE SELLING SHAREHOLDER.

   (a)   The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that:

        (i)  The Company will (A) use its best efforts to cause the
   Registration Statement to become effective or, if the procedure in Rule 430A
   of the Rules and Regulations is followed, to prepare and timely file with
   the Commission under Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations a Prospectus
   in a form approved by the Representatives containing information previously
   omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in
   reliance on Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, and (B) not file any
   amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus of
   which the Representatives shall not previously have been advised and
   furnished with a copy or to which the Representatives shall have reasonably
   objected in writing or which is not in compliance with the Rules and
   Regulations.

       (ii)  The Company will advise the Representatives promptly (A) when the
   Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto shall have
   become effective, (B) of receipt of any comments from the Commission, (C) of
   any request of the Commission for amendment of the Registration Statement or
   for supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, and
   (D) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
   effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Prospectus or
   of the institution of any proceedings for that purpose.  The Company will
   use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order
   preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus and to obtain as soon as
   possible the lifting thereof, if issued.

      (iii)  The Company will cooperate with the Representatives in endeavoring
   to qualify the Shares for sale under the securities laws of such
   jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably have designated in
   writing and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish
   such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided
   the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to
   file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is
   not now so qualified or required to file such a consent.  The Company will,
   from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports, and other
   documents, as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in
   effect for so long a period as the Representatives may reasonably request
   for distribution of the Shares.

       (iv)  The Company will deliver to, or upon the order of, the
   Representatives, from time to time, as many copies of any Preliminary
   Prospectus as the Representatives may reasonably request.  The Company will
   deliver to, or upon the order of, the Representatives during the period when
   delivery of a Prospectus


                                     -13-

<PAGE>

   is required under the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus in final
   form, or as thereafter amended or supplemented, as the Representatives
   may reasonably request.  The Company will deliver to the Representatives
   at or before the Closing Date four signed copies of the Registration
   Statement and all amendments thereto including all exhibits filed
   therewith, and will deliver to the Representatives such number of copies
   of the Registration Statement (including such number of copies of the
   exhibits filed therewith that may reasonably be requested), and of all
   amendments thereto, as the Representatives may reasonably request.

        (v)  The Company will comply with the Act and the Rules and
   Regulations, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"),
   and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit
   the completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated in this
   Agreement and the Prospectus.  If during the period in which a prospectus is
   required by law to be delivered by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall
   occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the
   reasonable opinion of the Underwriters, it becomes necessary to amend or
   supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the
   light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered
   to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if it is necessary at any time to amend
   or supplement the Prospectus to comply with any law, the Company promptly
   will prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the
   Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus so that the
   Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the
   circumstances when it is so delivered, be misleading, or so that the
   Prospectus will comply with the law.

       (vi)  The Company will make generally available to its security holders,
   as soon as it is practicable to do so, but in any event not later than 15
   months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings
   statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail, covering a
   period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the effective date
   of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
   requirements of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and
   Regulations and will advise you in writing when such statement has been so
   made available.

      (vii)  The Company will, for a period of five years from the Closing
   Date, deliver to the Representatives copies of annual reports and copies of
   all other documents, reports and information furnished by the Company to its
   shareholders or filed with any securities exchange pursuant to the
   requirements of such exchange or with the Commission pursuant to the Act or
   the Exchange Act.  The Company will deliver to the Representatives similar
   reports with respect to significant subsidiaries, as that term is defined in
   the Rules and Regulations, which are not consolidated in the Company's


                                     -14-

<PAGE>

   financial statements.

     (viii)  No offering, sale, short sale or other disposition of any shares
   of Class A Voting Common Stock of the Company or other securities
   convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class A Voting
   Common Stock or derivative of Class A Voting Common Stock (or agreement for
   such) will be made for a period of 120 days after the date of this
   Agreement, directly or indirectly, by the Company otherwise than hereunder
   or with the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated (except
   that the Company may, without such consent, offer Class A Voting Common
   Stock to the Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
   (including 401(k) provisions) (the "KSOP"), existing employee stock
   option plans or other employee benefit plans).

       (ix)  The Company will use its best efforts to list, subject to notice
   of issuance, the Shares on the National Association of Securities Dealers
   Automated Quotation National Market System ("NASD-NMS").

        (x)  The Company has caused each officer and director of the Company
   and the Selling Shareholder to furnish to you, on or prior to the date of
   this agreement, a letter or letters, in form and substance satisfactory to
   the Underwriters, pursuant to which each such person shall agree not to
   offer, sell, sell short or otherwise dispose of any shares of Class A Voting
   Common Stock of the Company or other capital stock of the Company, or any
   other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Class A Voting
   Common Stock or derivative of Class A Voting Common Stock owned by such
   person or request the registration for the offer or sale of any of the
   foregoing (or as to which such person has the right to direct the
   disposition of) for a period of 120 days after the date of this Agreement,
   directly or indirectly, except with the prior written consent of Alex.
   Brown & Sons Incorporated ("Lockup Agreements").

       (xi)  The Company shall apply the net proceeds of its sale of the Shares
   as set forth in the Prospectus.

      (xii)  The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds
   received by the Company from its sale of the Shares in such a manner as
   would require the Company or the Bank to register as an investment company
   under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     (xiii)  The Company will maintain a transfer agent and, if necessary under
   the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar for the Class
   A Voting Common Stock.

      (xiv)  The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action
   designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably
   be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of
   any securities of the Company.


                                     -15-

<PAGE>

      (b)    The Selling Shareholder covenants and agrees with the several
Underwriters that:

        (i)  No offering, sale, short sale or other disposition of any shares
   of Class A Voting Common Stock of the Company or other capital stock of the
   Company or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for
   Class A Voting Common Stock of the Company or derivative of Class A Voting
   Common Stock of the Company owned by the Selling Shareholder or request for
   the registration for the offer or sale of any of the foregoing (or as to
   which the Selling Shareholder has the right to direct the disposition of)
   will be made for a period of 120 days after the date of this Agreement,
   directly or indirectly, by such Selling Shareholder otherwise than hereunder
   or with the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated.

       (ii)  In order to document the Underwriters' compliance with the
   reporting and withholding provisions of the Tax Equity and Fiscal
   Responsibility Act of 1982 and the Interest and Dividend Tax Compliance Act
   of 1983 with respect to the transactions herein contemplated, the Selling
   Shareholder agrees to deliver to you prior to or at the Closing Date a
   properly completed and executed United States Treasury Department Form W-9
   (or other applicable form or statement specified by Treasury Department
   regulations in lieu thereof).

      (iii)  Such Selling Shareholder will not take, directly or indirectly,

   several Underwriters will be paid by the Sellers pro rata.  The Sellers
   shall not, however, be required to pay for the any of the Underwriters'
   expenses (other than those related to State securities or Blue Sky laws)

   the Company or the Selling Shareholder to perform any undertaking or
   satisfy any condition of this Agreement or to comply with any of the

   anticipated profits from the sale by them of the Shares.

   6. CONDITIONS OF OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNDERWRITERS.

      The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares
   on the Closing Date and the Option Shares, if any, on the Option Closing
   Date are subject to the accuracy, to of the Closing Date or the Option
   Closing Date, as the case may be, of the representations and warranties of
   the Company and the Selling Shareholder contained herein, and to the
   performance by the Company and the Selling Shareholder of their covenants
   and obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

   (a)   The Registration Statement and all post-effective amendments thereto
   shall have become effective and any and all filings required by Rule 424 and

   Registration Statement or otherwise) shall have been disclosed to the
   Representatives and complied with to their reasonable satisfaction.  No stop
   order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended
   from time to time, shall have been issued and no proceedings for that
   purpose shall have been taken or, to the best knowledge of the Company or
   the Selling Shareholder, shall be contemplated by the Commission and no
   injunction, restraining order, or order of any nature by a Federal or state
   court of competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of the Closing
   Date which would prevent the issuance of the Shares.

   (b)   The Representatives shall have received on the Closing Date or the
   Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the opinions of McGinnis Lochridge
   & Kilgore, L.L.P., counsel for the Company, dated the Closing Date or the
   Option Closing Date, as the case may be, addressed to the Underwriters (and
   stating that it may be relied upon by counsel to the Underwriters) to the
   effect that:

        (i)  The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
   corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas, with
   corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its
   business as described in the Registration Statement; the Bank has been duly
   organized and is validly existing as a banking association in good standing
   under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power
   and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as
   described in the Registration Statement; the Company and the Bank are duly
   qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of
   their business requires such qualification, or in which the failure to
   qualify would have a materially adverse effect upon the business of the
   Company and the Bank taken as a whole; and the outstanding shares of capital
   stock of the Bank have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully
   paid and non-assessable and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, are
   owned by the Company free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and equities
   and claims, and no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements
   or other obligations to issue or other rights to convert any obligations
   into any shares of capital stock or of ownership interests in the Bank are
   outstanding.

       (ii)  The Company has authorized and outstanding capital stock as set
   forth under the caption "Capitalization" in the Prospectus; the
   authorized shares of the Company's Class A Voting Common Stock have been
   duly authorized; the outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Voting
   Common Stock, including the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder,
   have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
   non-assessable; all of the Shares conform to the description thereof
   contained in the Prospectus; the certificates for the Shares are in due
   and proper form; the Shares, including the Option Shares, if any, to be
   sold by the Company pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized
   and will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable when issued and
   paid for as contemplated by this Agreement; and no preemptive rights of
   stockholders exist with respect to any of the Shares or the issue or sale
   thereof.

      (iii)  Except as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus, to the
   best knowledge of such counsel, there are no outstanding securities of the
   Company convertible or exchangeable into or evidencing the right to purchase
   or subscribe for any shares of capital stock of the Company and there are no
   outstanding or authorized options, warrants or


                                     -18-

<PAGE>

   rights of any character obligating the Company to issue any shares of its
   capital stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or
   evidencing the right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of such
   stock; and except as described in the Prospectus, to the best knowledge
   of such counsel, no holder of any securities of the Company or any other
   person has the right, contractual or otherwise, which has not been
   satisfied or effectively waived, to cause the Company to sell or
   otherwise issue to them, or to permit them to underwrite the sale of, any
   of the Shares or the right to have any Common Shares or other securities
   of the Company included in the Registration Statement or the right, as a
   result of the filing of the Registration Statement, to require
   registration under the Act of any shares of Class A Voting Common Stock
   or other securities of the Company.

       (iv)  The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and,
   to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order proceedings with
   respect thereto have been instituted or are pending or threatened under the
   Act.

        (v)  The Registration Statement, all Preliminary Prospectuses, the
   Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto comply as to form in all
   material respects with the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules
   and regulations thereunder (except that such counsel need express no opinion
   as to the financial statements and related schedules included therein).

       (vi)  The statements under the captions "Proposed Mergers," "Business --
   Supervision and Regulation," "Business -- Capital Resources," "Description
   of Capital Stock" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" in the Prospectus,
   insofar as such statements constitute a summary of documents referred to
   therein or matters of law, fairly summarize in all material respects the
   information called for with respect to such documents and matters.

      (vii)  Such counsel does not know of any contracts or documents required
   to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the
   Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including without limitation the
   Merger Agreements, which are not so filed or described as required, and such
   contracts and documents as are summarized in the Registration Statement or
   the Prospectus are fairly summarized in all material respects.

     (viii)  To such counsel's best knowledge, except as disclosed in the
   Prospectus or as disclosed in writing delivered to the Underwriters prior to
   the Closing Date, none of the Company, the Bank, First State Bank or Border
   Bank are in violation of any directive or order from or agreement or
   understanding with the Department, the FDIC, the FRB or any other
   governmental authority to make any material change in the method of


                                     -19-

<PAGE>

   conducting or that restricts their respective businesses.  Such counsel
   knows of no material legal proceedings pending or threatened against the
   Company, the Bank, First State Bank or Border Bank, including but not
   limited to actions or proceedings related to environmental, discrimination
   or bank regulatory matters, except as set forth in the Prospectus.

       (ix)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger
   Agreements and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein
   contemplated do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any
   of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the charter or
   by-laws of the Company or the Bank, or any agreement or instrument known to
   such counsel to which the Company or the Bank is a party or by which the
   Company or the Bank may be bound or, so far as is known to such counsel,
   violate any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any
   court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or the Bank,
   or any of its or their property; there is no regulatory cease and desist
   order or other order, memorandum or understanding or agreement between the
   Company, the Bank and the Department, the FDIC or the FRB that would govern,
   limit, or prohibit the Company from entering into and performing its
   obligations under this Agreement or the Merger Agreements.

        (x)  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
   the Company.  The Merger Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and
   delivered by the Company.

       (xi)     All material conditions precedent to the closing of the
   transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements with respect to the
   obligations of the Company have been satisfied or waived by the Company as
   of the date of this Agreement, except for the consummation of the offering
   contemplated hereby and the delivery by the Company of the purchase price to
   the shareholders of First State Bank and Border Bank.

      (xii)  No approval, consent, order, authorization, designation,
   declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other
   governmental body is necessary in connection with the execution and delivery
   of this Agreement or the Merger Agreements and the consummation of the
   transactions herein and therein contemplated (other than as may be required
   by the NASD or as required by State securities and Blue Sky laws as to which
   such counsel need express no opinion) except such as have been obtained or
   made, specifying the same.

     (xiii)  The Company is duly registered as a bank holding company under the
   BHCA.  The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the
   maximum amount permitted by law; to counsel's best knowledge, the Bank has
   not received notice of any proceeding to be brought by the FDIC or any other
   regulatory agency for the purpose of terminating such deposit insurance or
   imposing any regulatory sanction or restriction on


                                     -20-

<PAGE>

   the Bank, nor has the Company received any such notice in respect of such
   purpose.

      (xiv)  To counsel's best knowledge, the Company has not been advised, and
   has no reason to believe, that either it or the Bank is not conducting
   business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of
   the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business, including, without
   limitation, all applicable local, State and Federal environmental laws and
   regulations and all regulations, decisions, directives, orders and policies
   of the FDIC, the Department and the FRB; except where failure to be so in
   compliance would not materially adversely affect the condition (financial or
   otherwise), business, results of operations or prospects of the Company and
   the Bank taken as a whole.

      In rendering such opinion McGinnis, Lochridge & Kilgore, L.L.P. may rely
   as to matters governed by the laws of states other than Texas or Federal
   laws on local counsel in such jurisdictions, provided that McGinnis
   Lochridge & Kilgore, L.L.P. shall state that they believe that they and the
   Underwriters are justified in relying on such other counsel.  In addition to
   the matters set forth above, such opinion shall also include a statement to
   the effect that nothing has come to the attention of such counsel which
   leads them to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, at the time it
   became effective under the Act (but after giving effect to any modifications
   incorporated therein pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act) and as of the
   Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an
   untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
   required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
   not misleading (except that such counsel need express no view as to
   financial statements, schedules and statistical information therein), and
   (ii) the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date it
   was filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and as of the Closing Date
   or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an untrue
   statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary
   in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under
   which they are made, not misleading (except that such counsel need express
   no view as to financial statements, schedules and statistical information
   therein).  Such opinion shall also include a statement to the effect that
   such counsel has participated in the preparation of the Merger Agreements
   and, nothing has come to the attention of such counsel which leads them to
   believe that the representations and warranties of First State Bank and
   Border Bank contained in the Merger Agreements were not true, in all
   material respects, as of the date of the Merger Agreements and are not true,
   in all material respects, as of the date of this Agreement.  With respect to
   such statements, McGinnis, Lochridge & Kilgore, L.L.P.  may state that their
   belief is based upon the procedures set forth therein, but is without
   independent check and verification.


                                     -21-

   (c)   The Representatives shall have received from counsel for the Selling
   Shareholder, an opinion dated the Closing Date, addressed to the
   Underwriters (and stating that it may be relied upon by counsel to the
   Underwriters) to the effect that:

         (i)    This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
   on behalf of the Selling Shareholder.

         (ii)   The Selling Shareholder has full legal right, power and
   authority, and any approval required by law (other than as required by State
   securities and Blue Sky laws as to which such counsel need express no
   opinion), to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the portion of the Shares to
   be sold by the Selling Shareholder.

         (iii)  The Custodian Agreement and the Power of Attorney executed and
   delivered by the Selling Shareholder are valid and binding.

         (iv)   The Underwriters (assuming that they are bona fide purchasers
   within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) have acquired good and
   indefeasible title to the Shares being sold by the Selling Shareholder on
   the Closing Date, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and
   claims.



   (d)   The Representatives shall have received from Jones, Day, Reavis &
   Pogue, counsel for the Underwriters, an opinion dated the Closing Date or
   the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, substantially to the effect
   specified in subparagraphs (ii), (iii), (iv) and (ix) of Paragraph (b) of
   this Section 6 (except that such counsel need express no view as to matters
   relating to First State Bank and Border Bank in subparagraph (ix) of
   Paragraph (b) of this Section 6), and that the Company is a duly organized
   and validly existing corporation under the laws of the State of Texas.  In
   rendering such opinion, Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue may rely as to all
   matters governed other than by the laws of the State of Texas or Federal
   laws on the opinion of counsel referred to in Paragraph (b) of this Section
   6.  In addition to the matters set forth above, such opinion shall also
   include a statement to the effect that nothing has come to the attention of
   such counsel which leads them to believe that (i) the Registration
   Statement, or any amendment thereto, as of the time it became effective
   under the Act (but after giving effect to any modifications incorporated
   therein pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act) as of the Closing Date or the
   Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a
   material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
   therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except
   that such counsel need express no view as to financial statements, schedules
   and statistical information therein), and (ii) the Prospectus, or any
   supplement thereto, on the date it was filed pursuant to the Rules and


                                     -22-

<PAGE>

   Regulations and as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the
   case may be, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
   state a material fact, necessary in order to make the statements, in the
   light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading (except
   that such counsel need express no view as to financial statements, schedules
   and statistical information therein).  With respect to such statement,
   Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue may state that their belief is based upon the
   procedures set forth therein, but is without independent check and
   verification.

   (e)   The Representatives shall have received at or prior to the Closing
   Date from Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue a memorandum or summary, in form and
   substance satisfactory to the Representatives, with respect to the
   qualification for offering and sale by the Underwriters of the Shares under
   the State securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
   Representatives may reasonably have designated to the Company.

   (f)   The Representatives shall have received, on the Closing Date and the
   Option Closing Date, as the case may be, a letter dated the Closing Date or
   the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance
   satisfactory to the Representatives of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP confirming that
   they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and
   the applicable published Rules and Regulations thereunder and stating that
   in their opinion the financial statements and schedules of the Company,
   First State Bank and Border Bank examined by them and included in the
   Registration Statement comply in form in all material respects with the
   applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related published
   Rules and Regulations; and containing such other statements and information
   as is ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to Underwriters
   with respect to the financial statements and certain financial and
   statistical information of the Company, First State Bank and Border Bank
   contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

   (g)   The Representatives shall have received on the Closing Date or the
   Option Closing Date, as the case may be, a certificate or certificates of
   the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
   to the effect that, as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as
   the case may be, each of them severally represents as follows:

        (i)  The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and
   no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has
   been issued and no proceedings for such purpose have been taken or are, to
   his best knowledge, contemplated by the Commission;

       (ii)  He does not know of any litigation instituted or threatened
   against the Company, First State Bank or Border Bank of a character required
   to be disclosed in the Registration


                                     -23-

   contract required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
   which is not so filed;

      (iii)  The representations and warranties of the Company contained in
   Section 1 hereof (including without limitation those with respect to First
   State Bank and Border Bank) are true and correct as of the Closing Date or
   the Option Closing Date, as the case may be;

       (iv)  All filings required to have been made pursuant to Rule 424 or
   430A under the Act have been made;

        (v)  He has carefully examined the Registration Statement and the
   Prospectus and, in his opinion, as of the effective date of the Registration
   Statement, the statements contained in the Registration Statement were true
   and correct, and such Registration Statement and Prospectus did not omit to
   state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
   make the statements therein not misleading, and since the effective date of
   the Registration Statement, no event has occurred with respect to the
   Company, the Bank or, to the best of his knowledge, First State Bank or
   Border Bank which should have been set forth in a supplement to or an
   amendment of the Prospectus which has not been so set forth in such
   supplement or amendment; and

       (vi)  Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
   Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has not been any material
   adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse
   change in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company
   and the Bank taken as a whole or, to the best of his knowledge, First State
   Bank or Border Bank, or the earnings, business, management, properties,
   assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects
   of the Company and the Bank taken as a whole or, to the best of his
   knowledge, First State Bank or Border Bank, whether or not arising in the
   ordinary course of business.

   (h)   The Company and the Selling Shareholder shall have furnished to the
   Representatives such further certificates and documents confirming the
   representations and warranties, covenants and conditions contained herein
   and related matters as the Representatives may reasonably have requested.

   (i)   The Firm Shares and Option Shares, if any, have been approved for
   designation upon notice of issuance on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

   (j)   The Lockup Agreements described in Section 4(a)(x) are in full force

   (k)   All material conditions precedent to the closing of the


                                     -24-

<PAGE>

   transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements have been satisfied as
   of the Closing Date, except for the consummation of the offering
   contemplated hereby and the delivery by the Company of the purchase price
   to the shareholders of First State Bank and Border Bank.

   (l)   The Representatives shall have received a letter addressed to the
   Underwriters and dated the date hereof from the Company or each of First
   State Bank and Border Bank, as determined by the Representatives, with
   respect to certain information supplied by First State Bank or Border Bank,
   as applicable, for use in the Registration Statement, and the
   Representatives shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date,
   or the Option Closing Date, as applicable, and signed by an authorized
   representative of the entity that delivered such letters, as to the accuracy
   of such information as of the Closing Date or Option Closing Date.  Each
   such letter and certificate shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
   Representatives.

      The opinions and certificates mentioned in this Agreement shall be deemed
   to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in all
   material respects satisfactory to the Representatives and to Jones, Day,
   Reavis & Pogue, counsel for the Underwriters.

      If any of the conditions hereinabove provided for in this Section 6 shall
   not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement to be
   fulfilled, the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated
   by the Representatives by notifying the Company and the Selling Shareholder
   of such termination in writing or by telegram at or prior to the Closing
   Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be.

      In such event, the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters
   shall not be under any obligation to each other (except to the extent
   provided in Sections 5 and 8 hereof).

   7. CONDITIONS OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLERS.

      The obligations of the Sellers to sell and deliver the portion of the
   Shares required to be delivered as and when specified in this Agreement are
   subject to the conditions that at the Closing Date or the Option Closing
   Date, as the case may be, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
   Registration Statement shall have been issued and in effect or proceedings
   therefor initiated or threatened.

   8. INDEMNIFICATION.

   (a)   Subject to the limitations in paragraph 8(d), the Company and the
   Selling Shareholder, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
   harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
   Underwriter within the meaning of


                                     -25-

<PAGE>

   the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such
   Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject under the
   Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
   (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
   upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
   fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus,
   the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the
   omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
   be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
   misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling
   person upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
   such Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with
   investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability,
   action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental
   inquiry related to the offering of the Shares, whether or not such
   Underwriter or controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding;
   provided, however, that the Company and the Selling Shareholder will not
   be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
   damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
   alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the
   Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or
   such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with
   written information furnished to the Company by or through the
   Representatives specifically for use in the preparation thereof.  In no
   event, however, shall the liability of the Selling Shareholder for
   indemnification under this Section 8(a) exceed the proceeds received by
   the Selling Shareholder from the Underwriters in the offering.  This
   indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
   Company or the Selling Shareholder may otherwise have.

   (b)   Each Underwriter severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold
   harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have
   signed the Registration Statement, the Selling Shareholder and each person,
   if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder within the
   meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
   which the Company or any such director, officer, Selling Shareholder or
   controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as
   such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in
   respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or
   alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
   Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or
   supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state
   therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
   the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
   under which they were made; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses
   reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, Selling
   Shareholder or controlling


                                     -26-

<PAGE>


   person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
   claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that
   each Underwriter will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to
   the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
   omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement,
   any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or such amendment or
   supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
   furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives specifically
   for use in the preparation thereof.  This indemnity agreement will be in
   addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

   (c)   In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
   shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may
   be sought pursuant to this Section 8, such person (the "indemnified party")
   shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought
   (the "indemnifying party") in writing.  No indemnification provided for in
   Section 8(a) or (b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give
   notice as provided in this Section 8(c) if the party to whom notice was not
   given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related
   and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the
   failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or
   parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified
   party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of
   Section 8(a) or (b).  In case any such proceeding shall be brought against
   any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
   commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
   participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any
   other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof,
   with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as
   incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
   proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the
   right to retain its own counsel at its own expense.  Notwithstanding the
   foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days
   of presentation) the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the
   indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the
   indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such
   counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
   impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified
   party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
   inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or
   (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and
   employ counsel acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable
   period of time after notice of commencement of the action.  It is understood
   that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
   related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable
   fees and expenses of more than one


                                     -27-

<PAGE>

   separate firm for all such indemnified parties.  Such firm shall be
   designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant
   to Section 8(a) and by the Company and the Selling Shareholder in the
   case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b).  The indemnifying
   party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
   without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there
   be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to
   indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
   reason of such settlement or judgment.  In addition, the indemnifying
   party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
   party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in
   any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which
   indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified
   party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or
   proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
   unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
   arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

   (d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable
   to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a)
   or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
   actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
   indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
   indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
   (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
   appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
   Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from
   the offering of the Shares.  If, however, the allocation provided by the
   immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law then each
   indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
   indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
   such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the
   Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in
   connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
   claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect
   thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The
   relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the
   one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
   proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
   expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder bear to the
   total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters,
   in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus.
   The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
   whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
   omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
   supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholder on the one hand or the
   Underwriters on


                                     -28-

<PAGE>


   the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
   and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

      The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it
   would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section
   8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were
   treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
   which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
   above in this Section 8(d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
   party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
   or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(d)
   shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
   by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
   such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection
   (d), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
   of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares
   purchased by such Underwriter, (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent
   misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
   entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
   fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) the Selling Shareholder shall not be
   required to contribute any amount in excess of the lesser of (A) that
   proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
   indemnified or contributed against equal to the proportion of the total
   Shares sold hereunder which is being sold by such Selling Shareholder, or
   (B) the proceeds received by such Selling Shareholder from the Underwriters
   in the offering.  The Underwriters' obligations in this Section 8(d) to
   contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
   obligations and not joint.

   (e)   In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement, any
   Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment
   thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this
   Section 8 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having
   jurisdiction over any other contributing party, agrees that process issuing
   from such court may be served upon him or it by any other contributing party
   and consents to the service of such process and agrees that any other
   contributing party may join him or it as an additional defendant in any such
   proceeding in which such other contributing party is a party.

   (f)   Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an
   indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this
   Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party
   as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred.  The
   indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the
   representations and warranties of the Company set


                                     -29-

<PAGE>

   forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
   effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any
   Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, its
   directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii)
   acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any
   termination of this Agreement.  A successor to any Underwriter, or to the
   Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company
   shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and
   reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8.

   9. DEFAULT BY UNDERWRITERS.

      If on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
   any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for the portion of the Shares
   which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for on such date
   (otherwise than by reason of any default on the part of the Company or the
   Selling Shareholder, you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, shall use
   your reasonable efforts to procure within 36 hours thereafter one or more of
   the other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase from the Company and the
   Selling Shareholder such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms
   set forth herein, the Firm Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be,
   which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase.  If
   during such 36 hours you, as such Representatives, shall not have procured
   such other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase the Firm Shares or
   Option Shares, as the case may be, agreed to be purchased by the defaulting
   Underwriter or Underwriters, then (a) if the aggregate number of shares with
   respect to which such default shall occur does not exceed 10% of the Firm
   Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, covered hereby, the other
   Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in proportion to the respective
   numbers of Firm Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, which they are
   obligated to purchase hereunder, to purchase the Firm Shares or Option
   Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting Underwriter or
   Underwriters failed to purchase, or (b) if the aggregate number of shares of
   Firm Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, with respect to which such
   default shall occur exceeds 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, as the
   case may be, covered hereby, the Company and the Selling Shareholder or you,
   as the Representatives of the Underwriters, will have the right, by written
   notice given within the next 36-hour period to the parties to this
   Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of the
   non-defaulting Underwriters or of the Company or of the Selling Shareholder
   except to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof.  In the event of a
   default by any Underwriter or Underwriters, as set forth in this Section 9,
   the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, may be
   postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as you, as
   Representatives, may determine in order that the required changes in the
   Registration Statement or in the Prospectus or


                                     -30-

<PAGE>

   in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  The term
   "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for a defaulting
   Underwriter.  Any action taken under this Section 9 shall not relieve any
   defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such
   Underwriter under this Agreement.

   10.   NOTICES.

      All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, except as otherwise

     RE:  Issuance of 2,180,000 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of Texas
          Regional Bancshares, Inc.


Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (the
"Corporation"), a Texas corporation, in connection with a proposed
registration by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on a Form S-1 Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to 2,180,000 shares of newly issued
shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (the
"Common Stock").

     Before rendering this opinion, we have examined such corporate and other
documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary and
appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, and have relied, as to factual
matters, on certificates and other statements of officers of the Corporation
and others.  Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation which will be issued in the offering
described in the Registration Statement will, upon full payment therefor in
cash by the subscriber, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the use of our name in the Registration Statement
and the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement,
but we do not thereby admit that we are

within the class of persons whose consent is required under the terms of the

                       TEXAS REGIONAL BANCSHARES, INC.

                     1995 NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN



     PURPOSE.  The purpose of the 1995 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan
(hereinafter "Plan") is to provide a special incentive to selected key
employees of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (hereinafter "Company") and its
subsidiaries to promote the Company's business.  The Plan is designed to
accomplish this purpose by offering such employees an opportunity to purchase
shares of the Class A voting common stock (hereinafter "Common Stock") of the
Company.  For purposes of the Plan a subsidiary is any corporation in which
the Company owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing fifty percent
(50%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or
over which the Company has effective operating control.

                                     II.

     ADMINISTRATION.  The Plan shall be administered by a Nonstatutory Option
Committee (hereinafter "Committee") to be established by the Board of
Directors of the Company.  The Committee shall consist of three or more
members, one of whom shall be neither an officer nor an employee of the
Company.  The Committee shall have authority, consistent with the Plan,

          (a)  to determine which of the key employees of the
     Company and its subsidiaries shall be granted options;

          (b)  to determine the time or times when options shall
     be granted and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
     subject to each option;

          (c)  to determine the option price of the shares
     subject to each option and the method of payment of such
     price;

          (d)  to determine the time or times when each option
     becomes exercisable and the duration of the exercise period,
     subject to the limitations contained in Paragraph VI(b);

          (e)  to prescribe the form or forms of the instruments
     evidencing any options granted under the Plan and of any
     other instruments required under the Plan and to change such
     forms from time to time;

          (f)  to adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations
     for the administration of the Plan and the options and for
     its own acts and proceedings; and


<PAGE>

          (g)  to decide all questions and settle all
     controversies and disputes which may arise in connection
     with the Plan.  All decisions, determinations and
     interpretations of the Committee shall be binding on all
     parties concerned.


                                     III.

     PARTICIPANTS.  The participants in the Plan shall be key employees of
the Company or of any of its subsidiaries, whether or not also officers or
directors, as may be selected from time to time by the Committee in its
discretion.  Directors who are not employees shall not be eligible.  In any
grant of options after the initial grant, employees who were previously
granted options or sold shares under the Plan may be included or excluded.

                                     IV.

     LIMITATIONS.  No option shall  be  granted  under  the  Plan after
December 1, 2005, but options theretofore granted may extend beyond that
date.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section VIII of the Plan, the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be issued under the
Plan shall not exceed 90,000 in the aggregate.  To the extent that any option
granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate unexercised or for any
reason become unexercisable as to any shares subject thereto, such shares
shall thereafter be available for further grants under the Plan, within the
limit specified above.

                                      V.

     STOCK TO BE ISSUED.  Stock to be issued under the Plan may constitute an
original issue of authorized stock or may consist of previously issued stock
acquired by the Company, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors and the proper officers of the Company shall take any
appropriate action required for such issuance.

                                     VI.

     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.  All options granted under the Plan
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions (except as provided in
Section VII) and to such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall
determine to be appropriate to accomplish the purposes of the Plan:

          (a)  OPTION PRICE.  The option price under each option
     shall be determined by the Committee and may be more, equal
     to or less than the then current fair market value of the


                                      -2-

<PAGE>

     Company's Class A common stock as the Committee may deem to
     be appropriate, but in no event may such price be less than
     par value; provided, however, that in the event the
     Committee shall determine to grant an option at less than
     the then current fair market value of the Company's Class A
     common stock, such option shall not be granted without the
     prior approval of the Board of Directors.

          (b)  PERIOD OF OPTIONS.  The period of an option shall
     not exceed ten years from the date of grant.

          (c)  EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

               (i)  Each option shall be made exercisable at such
     time or times, whether or not in installments, as the
     Committee shall prescribe at the time the option is granted.

               (ii) A person electing to exercise an option shall
     give written notice to the Company, as specified by the
     Committee, of his election and of the number of shares he
     has elected to purchase, such notice to be accompanied by
     such instruments or documents as may be required by the
     Committee, and unless otherwise directed by the Committee
     shall at the time of such exercise tender the purchase price
     of the shares he has elected to purchase.

          (d)  PAYMENT FOR ISSUANCE OF SHARES.  Upon exercise of
     any option granted hereunder, payment in full shall be made
     at the time of such exercise for all such shares then being
     purchased.

     The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares unless and until,
in the opinion of the Company's counsel, (i) all applicable laws and
regulations have been complied with, (ii) in the event the outstanding Common
Stock is at the time listed upon any stock exchange, the shares to be issued
have been listed or authorized to be added to the list upon official notice
of issuance upon such exchange, and (iii) all other legal matters in
connection with the issuance and delivery of shares have been approved by the
Company's counsel.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company may require from the participant such investment representation or
such agreement, if any, as counsel for the Company may consider necessary in
order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933 as then in effect, and may
require that the participant agree that any sale of the shares will be made
only in such manner as is permitted by the Committee and that he will notify
the Company when he intends to make any disposition of the shares whether by
sale, gift or otherwise.  The participant shall take any action reasonably
requested by the Company in such connection.  A participant shall have the
rights of a stockholder only as to shares actually acquired by him under the
Plan.


                                      -3-

<PAGE>

     (e)  NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  No option may be transferred by the
participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and during the participant's lifetime the option may be
exercised only by him.

     (f)   CONSIDERATION FOR OPTION.  Each person receiving a stock option
must agree that he will remain in the employ of the Company upon the terms of
employment then existing (unless different terms are mutually agreed upon)
for at least one (1) year from (i) the date of the granting of the option or
(ii) the date of expiration of the then current employment contract,
whichever is later, subject to the right of the Company to terminate his
employment at any time.

     (g)   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  If the employment of a participant
terminates for any reason other than his death or permanent disability (as
hereinafter defined), he may thereafter exercise his option as provided
below, but only to the extent he was entitled to exercise the option on the
date when his employment terminated.  If such termination of employment is
voluntary on the part of the participant, he may exercise his option only
within ten days after the date of termination of his employment (unless a
longer period not in excess of three months is allowed by the Committee).  If
such termination of employment is involuntary on the part of the participant,
he may exercise his option only within three months after the date of
termination of his employment.  In no event, however, may such participant
exercise his option at a time when the option would not be exercisable had
the participant remained an employee.  For purposes of this subsection (g), a
participant's employment shall not be considered terminated in the case of
sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company or a
subsidiary, or in the case of a transfer to the employment of a subsidiary or
to the employment of the Company.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, an option may be exercised only to the extent exercisable on
the date of termination of employment by death, disability or otherwise.

     (h)  RETIREMENT.  If prior to the expiration date of his option an
optionee shall retire with the Company's consent, such option may be
exercised in the same manner as if the optionee had continued in the
Company's employ; provided however, the Committee may terminate all
unexercised options if it shall determine that the retired optionee had
engaged in any activity detrimental to the Company's interests.

     (i)   DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY.  If a participant dies or becomes
"permanently disabled" (as hereinafter defined) at a time when he is entitled
to exercise an option, then at any time or times within one (1) year after
his death or determination of permanent disability (or such further period as
the Committee may allow) such option may be exercised, as to all or any of
the shares which the participant was entitled to purchase immediately prior
to


                                      -4-

<PAGE>

his death or determination of permanent disability, by his executor or
administrator or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred by
will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution (in the case of
death) or by his legal guardian (in the case of permanent disability), and
except as so exercised such option shall expire at the end of such period.
In no event, however, may an option be exercised after the expiration of the
option period.

     For purposes of the Plan, the term "permanent disability" shall mean any
physical and/or mental condition which, in the sole discretion of a majority
of the Committee, renders the participant unable to discharge his duties in
the employ of the Company or any subsidiary for a period of ninety (90)
consecutive days.

                                    VII.

     REPLACEMENT OPTIONS.  The Company may grant options under the Plan on
terms differing from those provided for in Section VI where such options are
granted in substitution for options held by employees of other corporations
who concurrently become employees of the Company or a subsidiary as the
result of a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the employing
corporation with the Company or subsidiary, or the acquisition by the Company
or a subsidiary of the business, property or stock of the employing
corporation.  The Committee may direct that the substitute options be granted
on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the
circumstances.

                                    VIII.

     CHANGES IN STOCK.  In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or
recapitalization or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation,
or other similar capital change, the number and kind of shares of stock of
the Company to be subject to the Plan and to options then outstanding or to
be granted thereunder, the maximum number of shares which may be issued or
sold under the Plan, the option price and other relevant provisions shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors of the Company, the
determination of which shall be binding on all persons.

                                     IX.

     EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.  The adoption of the Plan does not confer upon any
employee of the Company or a subsidiary any right to continue employment with
the Company or a subsidiary, as the case may be, nor does it interfere in any
way with the right of the Company or a subsidiary to terminate the employment
of any of its employees at any time.

                                       X.

     AMENDMENTS.  The Committee may at any time discontinue granting options
under the Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time or
times amend the Plan or amend any outstanding option or options for the
purpose of satisfying the requirements of any changes in applicable laws or
regulations or for any other purpose which may at the time be permitted by
law, provided that except to the extent required or permitted under Section
VIII no such amendment shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the
Company, increase the maximum number of shares available under the Plan, or
without the consent of the participant void or diminish options previously
granted, nor increase or accelerate the conditions and actions required for
the exercise of the same, except that nothing herein shall limit the
Company's right to call stock issued for deferred payment to be evidenced by
promissory note, where the participant is in default of his obligations on
such note.

     IN WITNESS whereof, this Plan shall be effective upon adoption by the
Company's Board of Directors and shall continue in effect until its
termination is recommended by said Board.

              of acquisition of such branch bank facilities by
              Texas State Bank)."

   2.   Section 13(a) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
        follows:

              "(a) GENERAL RULE. For purpose of vesting, on

        of First National Bank of South Texas as of the date of acquisition
        of First National Bank's Rio Grande City and Roma branch

                           AMENDED AND RESTATED

                        DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN


     This Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan, made and entered
into as of January 9, 1996 between Texas State Bank of McAllen, a Texas
banking corporation, having its principal office in McAllen, Texas (said Bank
being hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and Glen E. Roney of McAllen,
Texas (hereinafter referred to as the "Employee"), amends the Glen E. Roney
Deferred Compensation Plan originally executed as of December 31, 1993, to
incorporate changes necessary for a favorable private letter ruling from the
IRS and restates the Plan, as amended, in its entirety.

     WHEREAS, the Employee serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and in that capacity his services are valued by the Company, and it
is the desire of the Company to have the benefit of the Employee's continued
loyalty, service and counsel and also to assist him in providing for the
contingencies of death and old age dependence; and

     WHEREAS, the Company has made a determination to provide the Employee
certain retirement and death benefits as more particularly hereinafter
described:

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed by and between the Employee and the
Company that:

     1.  RETIREMENT BENEFIT.  Provided that the Employee complies with the
terms and provisions hereof (including the requirement of continued
employment, subject to the exceptions provided in paragraph 6 hereof) the
Company will pay to Employee $100,000 per year, beginning October 29, 2002,
and continuing regularly on the same calendar day of each year thereafter,
until the Employee has been paid the aggregate sum of $1,500,000.  In the
event that the Employee should die after said payments have commenced but
before the aggregate amount herein provided is fully paid, the unpaid balance
of payments due will continue to be paid by the Company to those
beneficiaries designated in paragraph 2 below.

     2.  DEATH BENEFIT.  Should the Employee die before October 29, 2002,
while in the employ of the Company (subject to the exceptions provided in
paragraph 3(a) hereof), the Company beginning at a date to be determined by
the Company but within 30 days from the date of death, will pay $100,000 per
year until the aggregate sum of $1,500,000 has been paid, to the following
beneficiary or beneficiaries:

<PAGE>

         Rita K. Roney, provided that if Rita K. Roney does not
         survive the Employee for a period of at least thirty (30)
         days, such sum shall be payable to the Employee's estate.

The beneficiary or beneficiaries named herein may be changed (without the
consent of any prior beneficiary) at any time by the Employee by written
notification to the Company.

     3.  CONDITIONS.  The obligations of the Company under the terms hereof
are subject to the following conditions and requirements:

         a.  The obligation of the Company to make payments as herein
provided is conditioned upon, the employment of the Employee by the Company
of one or more of its subsidiaries continuously until the earlier of the date
of Employee's death or October 29, 2002, except that such requirement and
limitation shall not be applicable (and the Employee shall not be required to
be continuously employed by the Company) if, prior to such date, (i) the
Employee's annual cash compensation paid by the Company is substantially
reduced from the cash compensation paid by the Company to the Employee during
1993, or (ii) Employee's duties on behalf of the Company are modified such
that Employee is no longer performing the function of Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, or (iii) Employee ceases his employment as a result of a
disability that makes it impossible for Employee to carry his duties as Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, or (iv) Employee is discharged the Company
without cause.

         b.  The obligation of the Company to make payments as herein
provided is further conditioned upon the requirement that, during the period
that retirement payments are being, made, the Employee shall not engage in
business activities which are in competition with the Company without first
obtaining the written consent of the Company.

     4.  LEAVE OF ABSENCE.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, permit
the Employee to take a leave of absence for a period not to exceed one year.
During this time, the Employee shall still be considered an employee of the
Company for purposes of this Agreement.

     5.  ASSIGNABILITY.  The Employee's rights to benefit payments under this
Agreement are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by
creditors of the Employee or the Employee's beneficiaries.

     6.  EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.  This Agreement creates no right in the Employee
to continue in the Company's employ for any specified length of time, nor
does it create any obligations on the part of the Company, except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement.


                                    -2-

<PAGE>

     7.  TRUST.  The Employee acknowledges that he has the status of a
general unsecured creditor of the Company, and the Plan constitutes a mere
promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future.  Any trust
created by the Company and any assets held by the trust to assist the Company
in meeting its obligations under the Plan will conform to the terms of the
model trust described in Revenue Procedure 92-64.  It is the intention of the
parties that this deferred compensation plan be unfunded for tax purposes and
for purposes of Title I of ERISA.  The Company has executed and made the
initial funding of a trust in the form of that certain Amended and Restated
Trust Under Glen E. Roney Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan
attached hereto as Annex A, which is intended to conform to the terms of the
model trust described in Revenue Procedure 92-64. The amount of the initial
funding was determined by the Company in its sole discretion.  The purpose of
the Trust is to receive contributions from the Company and make disbursements
to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement.  To the extent that the Company
has funded the Trust, the payments to be made to Employee pursuant to this
Agreement shall be paid out of assets of the Trust, provided that Employee
acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the funding of such Trust, the
Employee shall nonetheless have only an unsecured claim against the general
assets of the Company.  Employee acknowledges that any assets held by the
Trust will be subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors under
federal and state law in the event the Company becomes Insolvent, as
described or defined in Section 3(a) of the Trust. In the event of a
shortfall in funds available in the Trust, the deficit shall be paid by the
Company.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change of
Control (as defined in the Trust), the Company shall fully fund the Trust
with funds adequate to fully discharge any then remaining obligation of the
Company under the terms of this Agreement.

     8.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by the  laws of the
State of Texas.

     9.  AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement may be amended, but only by an
instrument in writing executed by both the Company and the Employee.  As soon
as reasonably practicable, the Company will initiate a private letter ruling
request with the Internal Revenue Service, on terms and provisions reasonably
acceptable to the Company and the Employee to the effect that the benefits
payable to the Employee under the terms of this Plan will not be taxable to
the Employee until actual receipt thereof by the Employee.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the
Employee covenant to mutually agree to amend this Plan, as and to the extent
reasonably necessary to obtain such a favorable private letter ruling.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, Employee and the Company
agree that the agreements and obligations herein set forth shall be binding
upon the Company and the Employee and their respective successors, assigns,
beneficiaries, heirs, executors and administrators.
