R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Tradition Bank of Houston is celebrating the 50th
anniversary of its founding on April 12, 2013; and
WHEREAS, In 1963, local business leaders came together to
establish a community bank, The First National Bank of Bellaire;
over the years, several additional branches were added throughout
Houston, and in 2003, they were merged under the common holding
company, Tradition Bancshares, Inc., with the Bellaire branch
serving as the operational center; and
WHEREAS, Tradition Bank supports a variety of community
organizations, including Bellaire and Alief schools, chamber of
commerce groups, scholarship foundations, churches, parks and
nature associations, the YMCA, and the Rotary Club; moreover, it
fosters area development by financing projects that help businesses
succeed; and
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated enterprises play a vital
role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and this important
milestone offers a fitting opportunity to recognize a venerable
Houston bank; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of Tradition
Bank in Houston and extend to all those associated with the
institution sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the bank as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
