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:

Janet Crozier established Lampasas Community Gardens.  Janet puts in a lot of volunteer hours at the garden assisting locals with their own square foot gardens.

Employees enjoy their time volunteering at Kline Whitis Elementary School.  Each year, the school hosts a Financial Literacy Series.

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

Here are some of our donation recipients in 2021: 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, The Hill Country 100 Club, Lampasas Spring Ho Festival, Christmas of the Creek, CASA, Lampasas FFA-Centex Classic, Kingsland AquaBoom, Lampasas Fire Dept. – Toy Drive.

First Texas Bank hosted their first shred day for the community.  Being able to host an event to assist in fighting fraud is something that the bank really takes pride in.  The event was very successful and we are looking forward to another shred day in 2023.

First Texas Bank appreciates the hard work of LAFTA members.  LAFTA continues to bring great art to our community.

Lee Loeffler was one of several employees that volunteered for Lampasas ISD’s Back To School Bash.  This year the bank had a fun idea to support local.  Therefore, they gave out local gift cards as their raffle gifts.  The teachers really enjoyed it.

First Texas Bank is excited to support Lampasas County Youth League Assoc.
