                       COASTAL BANC SSB SIGNS AGREEMENT
                      TO ACQUIRE COMPASS BAY CITY BRANCH

HOUSTON (May 8, 1996)--Coastal Banc ssb ("Coastal Banc") (NASDAQ: CBSAP), the 
direct subsidiary of Coastal Bancorp, Inc. ("Coastal") (NASDAQ: CBSA), and 
Compass Bank-San Antonio ("Compass"), announced today that they have executed 
definitive agreements to exchange certain branch locations. Coastal Banc will 
sell its three San Antonio branches having deposits of approximately $58.0 
million to Compass and will purchase the Compass Bay City Branch having deposits
of approximately $86.0 million, located at 1100 7th Street, Bay City, Texas. 
Consummation of the proposed transactions, which is expected late in the third 
quarter, is contingent upon the approval by bank regulatory authorities and 
other customary closing conditions.

     "We welcome the opportunity to be in Bay City and look forward to serving 
our new customers. We appreciate the past support our customers in the San 
Antonio area have provided" said Manuel J. Mehos, Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer of Coastal. "This acquisition will further expand our market presence in
small to mid-sized cities in southeast Texas. In addition, Bay City is a very 
attractive market for us because it is comparable to the communities we 
currently serve."

total assets, $1.3 billion in total deposits, $28.8 million in preferred stock
