Yep, you and Google have it all figured out, from a thousand miles away,
no personal experience with Texas banking and history, and "w/o any
knowledge at all".

Yep, but I'd be pretty certain having looked at several of the
individual bank's filings they're pretty solid...

The point is, however, that there _ARE_ individual local banks even in
the metro areas still if you go find them. Not all are necessarily the
conglomerates.

Ok, consider local. For instance a bank across town for you "might"
mean a 10 mile drive. For me a drive across town would take 40 minutes
on a Sunday morning. Then 40 minutes back.
