I am pleased to announce that Texas Regional Bank has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Dallas-based investment banking group, Estrada Hinojosa & Company, Inc., pending regulatory and shareholder approvals. In keeping with our vision, “Banking Texas one Relationship at a Time”, this acquisition expands our footprint, will enable TRB to provide a new suite of services to the public sector, and further underscores our commitment to become a diversified financial services company. 

About Estrada Hinojosa:

• Estrada Hinojosa was founded in 1992 by South Texas natives Noe Hinojosa Jr. and Robert Estrada (retired) as an investment banking group specializing in public finance.
• They are an industry leader providing municipal advisory services, bond underwriting, and bond trading.
• They were recently ranked by Refinitiv, the third-party industry statistician, as both the #1 municipal advisor in Texas and #4 municipal advisor in the nation for the first half of 2023.
• They have offices in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Edinburg, Miami, Chicago, and New York.

The acquisition of Estrada Hinojosa will enable TRB to serve hundreds of public entities in Texas and across the nation with capital needs related to cities, counties, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, roadways, drainage systems, ports, and other public works facilities. Together, TRB and Estrada Hinojosa will become “The people you know” for public entities.

The future for TRB just got brighter!
