The Chronicle of Philanthropy

We are committed to positively impacting our communities and providing support to help them thrive.

Our philanthropy extends deep into each of our communities and the impact is created by OUR PEOPLE, both within First Texas Bank and the people of our communities coming together to make a powerful impact.

We are privileged to partner with wonderful organizations, helping to make a positive impact and providing yet another way for our employees to make a difference in the communities where we live and work. Our employees spend time volunteering in whatever capacity an organization of choice may need.  This can include being a board member and helping with fundraising events, to actual hands-on labor.

Look at our people making a difference:

The annual Spring Ho Festival is a great event for our community.  The week long event offers a variety of fun activities.  The Spring Ho committee puts in many hours of planning to pull off a successful event.  This year, First Texas Bank has several employees that will be stepping up to the plate to volunteer at several of the events.  First Texas Bank is also the sponsor for the official Spring Ho float that is pulled in many parades throughout the year.

First Texas Bank understands the importance of making a positive influence in our community.

Here are some of our donation recipients: Boys & Girls Club, The Lampasas Lions Club, Lampasas Kiwanis Club, The Lampasas Quarterback Club, American Legion Boys State, American Legion Auxiliary Girls State, The Lampasas County Youth Livestock Show, The Lampasas Chamber of Commerce, Vision Lampasas, Lampasas Association for the Arts, Lampasas Spring Ho Festival, Christmas of the Creek, Lampasas FFA-Centex Classic, Lampasas Fire Dept. – Toy Drive, Lampasas Community Kitchen, Lampasas Community Gardens, Lampasas High School Golf, and Lampasas Badger Softball Association

The first annual Western on Western event to benefit Lampasas County Museum was a great success. The event brought out groups of all ages, and all proceeds will benefit the local museum for future projects.

First Texas Bank employees participated in the first annual Western on Western event organized by the Lampasas County Museum.

LAFTA is an organization that promotes art throughout our community.  Each year, First Texas Bank attends the annual Boots and Blazers Ball.  The money raised from this event is used to purchase new art for tourist attractions in town.

First Texas Bank has had a great response for our Community Shred Day. In 2023, we will have hosted two events providing the community with a safe way to protect their information from potential fraud.

Building Badgers is a newly founded organization by businessmen of the Lampasas community coming together to promote careers and a variety of trades.  Bank employees were excited to attend and look forward to future events benefiting a great cause
