	H.R. No. 45



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Citizens National Bank of Texas is celebrating its
	150th anniversary in 2018; and
	WHEREAS, This institution was initially founded in 1868 as
	Ferris and Getzendaner, Attorneys at Law and Bankers, in
	Waxahachie; the business served as the only banking operation in
	North Texas for many years, and in June 1884, it earned a federal
	charter and was renamed Citizens National Bank; in 1905, it merged
	with First National Bank to become Citizens National Bank of
	Waxahachie, and it went on to do business under that banner for a
	century before assuming its present name; and
	WHEREAS, Since 1930, CNBT has primarily been owned and
	operated by the same family; Colonel M. E. Singleton served as
	president for eight years before his death in 1938, at which time
	his son, M. E. "Marvin" Singleton Jr., took the reins; he in turn
	was succeeded by his son, George H. Singleton, in 1987, and for the
	past quarter century, the bank has been ably guided by a member of
	the fourth generation, M. E. "Mark" Singleton III; and
	WHEREAS, From its humble beginnings, CNBT has undergone
	dramatic growth, and today it encompasses 12 branches across 9
	North Texas cities and holds more than $800 million in total assets;
	through the years, the bank has supported a host of charities and
	civic organizations and awarded over 600 college scholarships to
	local students; in the past year alone, its employees have
	contributed a combined total of some 15,000 volunteer hours to
	their respective communities; and
	WHEREAS, For a century and a half, Citizens National Bank of
	Texas has played a vital role in the prosperity of the Dallas-Fort
	Worth Metroplex and beyond, and it is truly deserving of special
	recognition on this important milestone in its history; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commemorate the
	sesquicentennial of Citizens National Bank of Texas 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.

	Wray
