Noe Hinojosa Jr., President of Municipal Banking for TRB Capital Markets, LLC, has been inducted into The Bond Buyer’s Muni Hall of Fame, Class of 2025. The honor recognizes his decades of leadership, innovation, and influence in public finance.
Hinojosa was recognized alongside six other municipal finance leaders at an honoree dinner on September 30 in Boston during The Bond Buyer’s annual Infrastructure Conference. The 2025 class marks the fourth group of inductees since the Hall of Fame was created in 2022 to celebrate professionals whose work has made a lasting impact on the municipal finance industry.
Reflecting on the recognition, Hinojosa shared, “My personal goal was never to make money, but to be skillful in the trade by demonstrating the high integrity, loyalty, and commitment my parents instilled in me as a young kid. All I ever tried to do was earn some respect and shine a little light on those young Latinos that I now see everywhere.”
Across nearly four decades in the field, Hinojosa has earned a reputation for developing creative solutions to complex public finance challenges. After early work advising Texas border towns, counties, and school districts, he co-founded Estrada Hinojosa & Co. in 1992 with Robert Estrada. What began as a five-person financial advisory firm has grown into one of the top firms in the nation, participating in nearly 8,000 transactions totaling more than $722 billion. The firm’s work includes financings for DFW Airport’s new Terminal F and the expansion of the Dallas Convention Center.
John Tippit IV, President of Divisions at Texas Regional Bank, said, “Being inducted into The Bond Buyer Hall of Fame is a significant honor in our industry, and Noe’s inclusion reflects both his outstanding career and the reputation he’s brought to TRB Capital Markets. His leadership continues to expand opportunities for our clients and communities across Texas and in new markets throughout the United States.”
Noe’s induction into The Bond Buyer Muni Hall of Fame is a proud moment for TRB Capital Markets and for all of Team TRB. Join us in congratulating Noe.
