Texas Regional Bank (TRB) has appointed Elena Pappas as Trust Officer, adding to its Trust & Wealth Management team in Houston.
Pappas has experience in trust administration, estate planning, and fiduciary services. She will serve as a primary contact for clients, beneficiaries, and professional advisors, overseeing trust and estate relationships and guiding long-term planning and wealth transfer strategies.
Prior to joining TRB, Pappas served as Vice President, Trust and Estates Officer at Cadence Bank in Houston, where she administered fiduciary accounts and worked alongside attorneys, portfolio managers, and other professionals on complex trust and estate matters. Her background also includes practicing estate planning, probate, and elder law, where she advised clients on wealth transfer, asset protection, and succession planning.
“Trust administration requires sound judgment and consistency in how relationships are managed,” said Joshua Flores, Chief Fiduciary Officer. “Elena brings experience across both legal and fiduciary disciplines, which deepens our bench and allows our team to provide sound solutions, even when matters are complex.”
Based in Houston, Pappas will oversee fiduciary relationships across the region, working with internal teams and external advisors to administer trust and estate accounts.
“Clients rely on us to carry out decisions that matter deeply to their families,” said Pappas. “I look forward to using my experience to help individuals and families by contributing to TRB’s emphasis on a personal approach that provides clients with an exceptional experience.”
