On Saturday, August 1st, Danny Weems, President and CEO, announced that our system of banks, First National Bank of Gilmer, Wood County National Bank, Texas American Bank, and Security State Bank, are now unified under a single name - First National Bank of East Texas.

This name change is not the result of a merger or buyout, but an evolution of our brand to better serve you. Customers will still enjoy the same banking, people, and customer services as before at all of our 10 locations. We thank you for your trust and support in this new chapter of our history together.
