FORT BEND HOLDING CORP.
ROSENBERG, TEXAS, May 21, 1998 - Fort Bend Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: FBHC), the

Texas, announced today that Millers Mutual Fire Insurance Company has failed to

"No firm offer was ever made and no due diligence was ever performed," stated
Fort Bend's President and Chief Executive Officer, Lane Ward. "Therefore, we

selective acquisitions, and as always will evaluate our strategic alternatives
on an ongoing basis, in order to enhance long term shareholder value."

strategy would result in either an acquisition by the Company or the sale of the
Company.
