Gov. Abbott commended Texas banking institutions for helping provide support to Texas communities as a financial backbone at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new TBA headquarters building in Austin

Waco, TX – According to the state officials, Gov. Abbott also thanked TBA’s 400 member banking institutions for their work to ensure entrepreneurs across the state have the financial resources needed to succeed.

The Governor was joined at the ribbon cutting ceremony by TBA President and CEO Chris Furlow and other TBA members.

Governor Abbott released the following statement:

“Members of the Texas Bankers Association are a critical part of our booming economy. These institutions serve as the financial backbone of many Texas communities and are a big part of the Texas economic juggernaut.

Our economy is great for all Texans. With our strong, pro-growth economic agenda, we will remain the economic envy of America. I congratulate you on your new building and welcome you to the neighborhood.”
