Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES to UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1-BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, the unaudited consolidated financial
statements furnished reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The
unaudited consolidated financial statements include Texas Regional Bancshares,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). Intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, ("Statement 130") "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." Statement 130 establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains,
and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Statement 130
requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by
their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position.
Statement 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The provisions of Statement 130 were adopted by the Company as of January 1,
1998. The adoption of Statement 130 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operation, or liquidity.

NOTE 2-IMPAIRED LOANS

At March 31, 1998, the Company had a $7.9 million recorded investment in
impaired loans for which there was a related allowance for loan losses of
$846,000. At March 31, 1998, the Company has no investments in impaired loans
for which there was no related allowance for loan losses. The average level of
impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $8.2 million.
The Company recorded interest income of $30,000 on its loans during the three
months ended March 31, 1998.

NOTE 3-EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE COMPUTATIONS

The number of shares outstanding and related earnings per share ("EPS") amounts
have been restated to retroactively give effect for the 1997 three-for-two stock

NOTE 4-INCOME TAX

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between
the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities that have
future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that
apply to the periods in which they are expected to effect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax
assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. Income tax
expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus
the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTE 5-COMMON STOCK

On March 10, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.11 per
share for shareholders of record on April 8, 1998 and payable on April 15, 1998.

NOTE 6-ACQUISITIONS

On February 19,1998, the Company completed the acquisition of three bank holding
companies and their three subsidiary banks. The acquisition of Brownsville
Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Brownsville National Bank, includes two
banking locations in Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas, with assets of
approximately $100.1 million, equity of $12.1 million, loans of $42.6 million,
and deposits of $87.2 million. This acquisition was achieved by the exchange of
984,806 shares of Texas Regional stock for all of the outstanding shares of
Brownsville Bancshares, Inc. and cancellation of outstanding stock options.
Brownsville National Bank was merged with and into Texas State Bank.

The second acquisition was TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Texas Bank
and Trust of Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas. Texas Bank and Trust of
Brownsville assets totaled approximately $44.9 million, equity of $4.1 million,
loans of $21.9 million, and deposits of $40.3 million. This acquisition was
achieved by exchange of 308,039 shares of Texas Regional stock for all of the
outstanding shares of TB&T Bancshares, Inc., a portion of which are retained in
a holdback escrow account pending resolution of certain claims. Texas Bank and
Trust of Brownsville was merged with and into Texas State Bank.

The third acquisition was Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, Bank of
Texas. Bank of Texas is headquartered in Raymondville, Willacy County, Texas,
with one additional banking facility in Brownsville, Texas. The shareholder of
Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. received cash consideration of $9.6 million in this
acquisition, and Texas Regional paid $100,000 in consideration for a covenant
not to compete. Texas Regional discharged approximately $330,000 of existing
Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. indebtedness. Bank of Texas assets total
approximately $63.7 million, equity of $5.1 million, loans of $25.5 million, and
deposits of $56.5 million. Bank of Texas was merged with and into Texas State
Bank.

The acquisition of Brownsville Bancshares, Inc. and TB&T Bancshares, Inc. are
accounted for under the pooling-of-interest method of accounting, and as such,

Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $5.8 million or $0.40
per share, reflecting a net increase of $142,000 or $0.01 per share, compared to
net income of $5.7 million or $0.39 per share for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and reflects a net increase of $25,000 compared to net income of $5.8
million or $0.40 per share for the three months ended December 31, 1997.
Earnings performance for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1997 reflected an increase in net interest income
and an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in
provision for loan losses and noninterest expense. Earnings performance for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to three months ended December 31,
1997 reflected an increase in net interest income and noninterest income offset
by an increase in noninterest expense. A more detailed description of the
results of operations is included in the material that follows.

On February 19,1998, Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (the "Corporation")
completed the acquisition of three bank holding companies and their three
subsidiary banks. Each of the three subsidiary banks acquired were merged with
and into Texas State Bank (the "Bank"), the principal operating subsidiary of
the Corporation (collectively, the "Company"). The acquisition of Brownsville
Bancshares, Inc. and TB&T Bancshares, Inc. were accounted for under the
pooling-of-interest method of accounting, and as such, the enclosed financial
information has been restated for all periods presented to include the results
of operations and financial position of these acquired entities. The acquisition
of Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. (the "Raymondville Acquisition") was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting; therefore, the results of operations
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of
acquisition, February 19, 1998.

The Company paid cash and used the purchase method in accounting for certain
recent acquisitions which has resulted in the creation of intangible assets.
These intangible assets are deducted from capital in the determination of
regulatory capital. Thus, "cash" earnings represent the regulatory capital
generated during the year and can be viewed as net income excluding intangible
amortization, net of tax. While the definition of "cash" earnings may vary by
company, we believe this definition is appropriate as it measures the per share
growth of regulatory capital, which impacts the amount available for dividends
and acquisitions.

The following table reconciles reported net income to net income excluding
intangible assets amortization ("cash" earnings):

NET INTEREST INCOME

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $16.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, a net increase of $1.5 million or 9.4% compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1997 of $15.5 million and reflects a net increase
of $774,000 or 4.8% compared to net interest income of $16.2 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1997. The increase in net interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March
31, 1997 and the three months ended December 31, 1997, primarily reflects the
increase in the volume of interest-earning assets exceeding the increase in
volume of interest-bearing liabilities, partially attributable to the
Raymondville Acquisition.

The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as net interest
margin, of 4.81% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 reflects a decrease
of 21 basis points compared to 5.02% for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and reflects a decrease of 15 basis points compared to 4.96% for the three
months ended December 31, 1997. The decline in the net interest margin for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997 and three months ended December 31, 1997, was primarily attributable to the
increase in deposit costs as a result of competition.

The following table presents for the three months ended March 31, 1998, December
31, 1997 and March 31, 1997, the total dollar amount of interest income from
average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, reported on a
tax-equivalent basis, as well as the 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 35% 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 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three month period ended March
31, 1997. 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.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of $10.5 million
increased $1.5 million or 16.1% compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997 of $9.1 million and increased $1.3 million or 14.1% compared to the three
months ended December 31, 1997 of $9.2 million. The increase for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997
was primarily attributable to the increased volume of business conducted by the
Company, including the Raymondville Acquisition.

The largest category of noninterest expense, Salaries and Employee Benefits
("Personnel"), of $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
reflected a slight increase of $58,000 or 1.3% compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and an increase of $346,000 or 8.0% compared to the three
months ended December 31, 1997. Personnel expense increased for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended December 31, 1997
primarily due to staffing increases, including the staff acquired as a result of
the Raymondville Acquisitions.

 Net Occupancy expense of $778,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
increased $113,000 or 17.0% compared to $665,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and increased $173,000 or 28.6% compared to $605,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997. The Net Occupancy expense increase for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997 and three months ended December 31, 1997 was primarily due to the occupancy
expenses associated with the Raymondville Acquisition and the new Edinburg
branch which was opened for business in December 1997.

Equipment expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
increased $234,000 or 26.0% compared to $900,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and increased $210,000 or 22.7% compared to the three months
ended December 31, 1997. Equipment expense increased for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily
due to expenses associated with the equipment acquired to service the Company's
increasing customer base and partially due to the Raymondville Acquisition.

The One Time Charge - Acquisitions cost of $682,000 were expenses related to
effecting business combinations accounted for by the pooling-of-interests
method.

Other Noninterest expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998 increased $241,000 or 10.3% compared to $2.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and decreased $242,000 or 9.3% compared to the three months
ended December 31, 1997. Other Noninterest expense increased for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997
primarily due to an increased volume of business conducted by the Company.

for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1997 levels of $193.5 million and increased $17.3 million or 9.1%

due to the Raymondville Acquisition. The following table presents the

RISK ANALYSIS OF THE LOAN PORTFOLIO

Total loans at March 31, 1998 of $1.0 billion increased $160.4 million or 18.7%
compared to March 31, 1997 levels of $857.4 million and increased $66.5 million
or 7.0% compared to December 31, 1997 levels of $951.3 million. The increase in
total loans at March 31, 1998 compared to total loans at March 31, 1997 and
December 31 ,1997, was primarily attributable to Management's efforts to improve
the mix of earning assets and the Raymondville Acquisition. The Company's loans
are widely diversified by borrower and industry group. Loan demand remains
strong which is reflective of the positive economic growth in the Company's
trade area.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans for which the accrual of interest
has been discontinued, loans for which the interest rate has been reduced to
less than normal rates due to a serious weakening in the borrower's financial
condition, and other assets which consist of real estate and other property
which have been acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loan obligations and
which are awaiting disposition. A loan is generally placed 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.

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1998 of $12.1 million increased $4.2 million
or 52.9% when compared to the March 31, 1997 balance of $7.9 million and
increased $383,000 or 3.2% when compared to the December 31, 1997 balance of
$11.7 million Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed
assets increased to 1.18% at March 31, 1998 compared to 0.92% at March 31, 1997.
Management continues to emphasize maintaining a low level of nonperforming
assets and returning nonperforming assets to an earning status.

Loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more which are both well
secured or guaranteed by financially responsible third parties and in are the
process of collection generally are not placed on nonaccrual status. The amount
of such loans past due 90 days or more at March 31, 1998 of $5.7 million
reflects a decrease of $2.3 million compared to the March 31, 1997 level of $8.0
million and reflects an increase of $2.4 million or 72.9% compared to the
December 31, 1997 level of $3.3 million. The increase in loans past due 90 days
or more at March 31, 1998 compared to past due loans 90 days or more at December
31, 1997 is primarily attributable to loans secured by real estate. Management
believes that no material loss will be incurred.

<PAGE>
Total cross-border credits of $7.6 million or 0.75% of total loans outstanding
at March 31, 1998 reflect a slight decline when compared to the total
cross-border credits of $7.7 million at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1997.
Total nonaccrual cross-border credits of $2.9 million at March 31, 1998 reflect
a decrease of $500,000 when compared to the $3.4 million balance at March 31,
1997 and remain unchanged when compared to the total nonaccrual cross-border
credits at December 31, 1997. The decrease in cross-border nonaccrual credits
was due to loan collections.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1998 of $12.1 million increased $1.1
million or 10.1% compared to the March 31, 1997 balance of $11.0 million and
increased $824,000 or 7.3% compared to the December 31, 1997 balance of $11.3
million. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1998 is 1.19% of loans
outstanding, net of unearned discount. Management believes that the allowance
for loan losses at March 31, 1998, adequately reflects the risks 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, NET

Premises and equipment of $61.5 million at March 31, 1998 increased $20.6
million or 50.4% compared to $40.9 million at March 31, 1997 and increased $9.1
million or 17.3% compared to $52.4 million at December 31, 1997. The net
increase for March 31, 1998 compared to March 31, 1997, is primarily
attributable to the $15.1 million for construction in progress of the Company's
new headquarters in McAllen, Texas and partially attributable to the $3.3
million recorded for the Raymondville Acquisition. The net increase for March
31, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997 is primarily attributable to progress
payments of $6.0 million for the new headquarters bank building in McAllen and
partially attributable to the $3.3 million recorded for the Raymondville
Acquisition.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits at March 31, 1998 of $1.5 billion increased $201.8 million or

million or 6.1% compared to December 31, 1997 levels of $1.4 billion. The
increase in total deposits at March 31, 1998 compared to March 31, 1997 is
primarily attributable to on-going marketing and business development efforts
and partially attributable to the $56.5 million of deposits recorded for the
Raymondville Acquisition.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1998 of $166.4 million increased $20.3 million
or 13.9% compared to the March 31, 1997 level of $146.2 million and increased
$4.9 million or 3.0% compared to the December 31, 1997 level of $161.6 million.
The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily attributable to earnings,
reduced by dividends paid on Class A Common Stock.

The Company is dependent on dividend and interest income from the Bank and the
sale of stock for its liquidity. Applicable Federal Reserve Board 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.

The risk-based capital standards as established by the Federal Reserve Board of
Governors 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. 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 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 Federal Reserve Board 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 quarterly average total assets
less goodwill and other intangible assets. An insured depository institution is
"well capitalized" for purposes of FDICIA if its Total Capital Ratio is equal to
or greater than 10%, and Tier I Capital Ratio is equal to or greater than 6%,
and Leverage Capital Ratio is equal to or greater than 5%. The Company's Tier I
Capital Ratio was approximately 12.97% and 13.79% as of March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The Company's Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was approximately
14.13% and 15.04% as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company's
Leverage Capital Ratio was approximately 8.77% and 8.93% at March 31, 1998 and
1997,

<PAGE>
respectively. Based on capital ratios, the Company is within the definition of
"well capitalized" for Federal Reserve purposes as of March 31, 1998.

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 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 not used to fund asset growth.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998, liquidity was enhanced primarily by
net cash provided by operating activities of $8.2 million and financing
activities of $29.8 million offset by net cash used in investing activities of
$26.7 million. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was
primarily attributable to $5.8 million net income for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was
primarily attributable to the $26.8 million net increase in deposits. As a

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The funds management policy of the Company 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. In order to measure earnings and
fair value sensitivity to changing rates, the Company uses three different
measure tools including static gap analysis, simulation earnings, and market
value sensitivity (fair value at risk).

The static gap represents the dollar amount of difference between rate sensitive
assets and rate sensitive liabilities within a given time period. Static gap
analysis is the simplest representation of the Company's interest rate
sensitivity. However, it cannot reveal the impact of factors such as
administered rates (e.g., the prime lending rate), pricing strategies on
consumer and business deposits, changes in balance sheet mix, or the effect of
various options embedded in balance sheet instruments. Accordingly, the Funds
Management Committee conducts simulations of net interest income under a variety
of market interest rate scenarios. These simulations which consider forecasted
balances sheet changes, and forecasted changes in interest rate spreads provide
the Committee with an estimate of earnings at risk for given changes in interest
rates.

At March 31, 1998, based on these simulations, earnings at risk to an immediate
100 basis points rise in market interest rates was estimated to be less than 4.2
percent of projected 1998 after-tax net income. An immediate 100 basis point
rise in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario, used to calibrate risk,
and does not necessarily represent management's current view of future market
developments.

All the measurements of risk described above are made based upon the Company's
business mix and interest rate exposures at the particular point in time. The
exposures change continuously as a result of the Corporation's ongoing business
and its risk management initiatives. While management believes these measures
provide a meaningful representation of the Company's interest rate sensitivity,
they do not necessarily take in account all business developments that have an
effect on net income, such as changes in credit quality or the size and
composition of the balance sheet.

The Company does not currently engage in trading activities or use derivative
instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such activities may be
permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company does not
intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company.
Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and
commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's
business activities.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company may from time to time make forward-looking statements with respect
to earnings per share, credit quality, company objectives and other financial
and business matters. The Company cautions the reader that these forward-looking
statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risk and uncertainties,
including economic conditions; actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board;
legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; competition; as well as other
reasons, all of which change over time. Actual results may differ materially
from forward-looking statements.
