                          FORT BEND HOLDING CORP'S
                SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1997 EARNINGS RELEASE

        Fort Bend Holding Corp. ("FBHC"), parent corporation of Fort Bend
Federal Savings and Loan Association of Rosenberg (Fort Bend), today announced
net income of $406,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 before the 
after-tax effect of the one-time Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
special assessment ("the special assessment"). This compares to net income of
$441,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. Subsequent to recording the
after-tax effect of the special assessment of $985,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, FBHC reported a net loss of $579,000 or ($0.69) primary loss
per share.
        Net income for the six months ended September 30, 1996, before the 
after-tax effect of the special assessment, was $812,000. This compares to
$844,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1995. For the six months ended
September 30, 1996 FBHC reported a net loss of $173,000 or ($0.21) primary loss
per share which reflected the after-tax effect of the special assessment of
$985,000.
        On September 30, 1996, FBHC recorded the special assessment of
$1,493,000 as a result of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction
Act being signed into law by the President. The special assessment was 65.7
basis points on the SAIF deposit assessment base as of March 31, 1995. Another
provision of the Act provided for a future reduction of the SAIF deposit
insurance premium rate to approximately 6.4 basis points beginning January 1,
1997. The reduction should have a beneficial effect on the future earnings of
FBHC. Based on FBHC's SAIF deposit assessment base as of September 30, 1996, the
annual after-tax savings of the approximate 16.6 basis points will be
approximately $260,000 or $0.31 primary earnings per share based on the weighted
average common stock equivalents for the six months ended September 30, 1996.
        FBHC's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and Statement of
Operation for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 reflects the purchase and
merger of FirstBanc Savings Association of Texas ("FirstBanc") into Fort Bend as
of August 16, 1996. There was no significant income benefit or cost savings
realized as a result of the merger during this quarter. It is anticipated that
any income benefit or cost savings associated with the acquisition will be
realized in future quarters.
        The Board of Directors has also announced that FBHC will pay a cash
dividend of $0.07 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The
dividend will be payable on December 6, 1996 to shareholders of record on
November 15, 1996. This is FBHC's twelfth consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
        FBHC's net interest income after provision for loan losses was
$1,734,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to $1,578,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995. This increase reflected an increase in
average interest-earning assets to $242 million from $225 million as of
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase was primarily a result
of the acquisition of FirstBanc.
        Total noninterest income increased $211,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995. This
reflected an increase of $58,000 in services charges, $59,000 in loan servicing
income and $101,000 in other income.

Press Release Continued
Date: October 30, 1996



        Total noninterest expense increased by $440,000 for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996, before the special assessment of $1,493,000, as compared to 
the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The increase primarily reflects the 
compensation and occupancy costs of adding two branch locations since 
September 30, 1995, one of which was the acquisition of FirstBanc.
        Assets of FBHC were $281,694,000 as of September 30, 1996, a 15.4% 
increase, compared to $244,169,000 at March 31, 1996.  This increase was 
primarily attributable to growth in the loan portfolio and short-term 
investments.  The loan growth of $29.3 million was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of FirstBanc.
        Stockholders' equity was $17,397,000 at September 30, 1996 compared to 
$17,572,000 at March 31 1996.  This represents a decrease of 1.0%, primarily 
reflecting the special assessment.  Equity-to-assets and risk-based capital 
ratios were 6.2% and 14.4% respectively as of September 30, 1996.
        Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets as of September 
30, 1996, were 1.31% compared to 1.29% as of March 31, 1996.  The increase 
primarily reflected the non-performing assets acquired with the FirstBanc 
merger.
        FBHC serves Fort Bend, Harris, Wharton and Waller Counties in Southeast 
Texas through its subsidiary, Fort Bend Federal Savings and Loan headquartered 
in Fort Bend County.  The subsidiary operates a retail franchise of 6 full 
service offices in 6 cities.  Fort Bend Federal's market area is located in the 
largest metropolitan area of Texas and the eighth largest in the United States. 
The Corporation's stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
