|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize First National Bank of Hebbronville on the occasion of |

|
WHEREAS, This outstanding financial institution was |

received its charter in July of that year and opened its doors |

|
WHEREAS, The bank outgrew its original home on Texas |
|
Avenue, and in 1924, it moved into a new building on Galbraith |

to its current location on North Smith Street in 1983; and |
|
|

more than $138 million in assets; as a reflection of its |

|
the nation's leading bank rating and research firm; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its founding, First National Bank has provided |
|
the people of Hebbronville with superior service and sound financial |
|
advice, and it is truly deserving of recognition on the occasion of |
|
this milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
83rd Legislature, hereby commend First National Bank of |
