Magnolia, TX—Texas Regional Bank (TRB) broke ground on its newest banking center in Magnolia, Texas, marking a significant step forward in the bank’s expansion throughout Montgomery County and the greater Houston area.
TRB leadership, local officials, and community members came together at the future site of the Magnolia banking center, situated at the southwest corner of FM 1488 and Community Drive, to celebrate the beginning of TRB’s investment in Montgomery County. The event highlighted the bank’s dedication to meeting the growing financial needs of individuals, families, and businesses in Magnolia and the surrounding communities.
The ceremony began with an invocation by Dr. Dale Talbert, Fellowship of Montgomery, and a presentation of colors by the Magnolia JROTC and included remarks from notable speakers such as Montgomery County Judge Mark J. Keough, State Representative Cecil Bell, Jr., Montgomery County Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley, and TRB leadership, including Michael Scaief, Chairman and CEO, and Jamie Brown-Rosas, Chief Community & Business Development Officer.
Skip Colvin, TRB’s Montgomery County Market President, is spearheading the new project and is uniquely suited to lead TRB’s expansion into the Magnolia market. With over 20 years of experience in banking and deep ties to the region, Colvin’s expertise and leadership align with TRB’s mission of community-driven banking. “Magnolia embodies the perfect balance of close-knit community values and robust growth opportunities,” said Skip Colvin, TRB’s Montgomery County Market President. “At Texas Regional Bank, we strive to be ‘the people you know,’ building trusted relationships and delivering personalized solutions. I’m honored to bring our relationship-focused approach to this dynamic and thriving region.”
TRB’s expansion into Magnolia reflects a strategic commitment to supporting this vibrant and rapidly evolving community. Montgomery County’s growth continues to shape it as one of the most dynamic regions in Texas, with Magnolia at the forefront of this transformation. Known for its small-town charm and proximity to major business hubs, the area has seen a surge in residential developments and commercial investments, including infrastructure improvements and new community-focused projects.
Lewis Gissel, Executive Vice President of the Houston Region expressed enthusiasm for TRB’s continued growth in the greater-Houston Market. “This new banking center is a testament to TRB’s commitment to delivering personalized banking solutions to communities that matter most,” said Gissel. “Skip Colvin’s leadership and the team we’re building in Magnolia will ensure that we’re not just opening a building to conduct transactions but building relationships that are ultimately about fostering success throughout the community.”
The new Magnolia banking center will feature state-of-the-art facilities, including full-service banking, multiple drive-thru lanes, and an on-site ATM. It will offer a comprehensive suite of financial products and services tailored to meet the needs of both individuals and businesses.
The Magnolia banking center is expected to open its doors in late 2025.
