To our shareholders, customers and friends:

 Initially, 1994 appeared to be a disappointment to BancTEXAS and its
shareholders.  Clearly, the net loss of $905,000, or $.02 per share,
when compared with net income of $219,000, or $.01 per share for 1993,
was not desirable.  Asset quality continued to improve throughout 1994,
with nonperforming assets representing only .61% of total assets at
December 31, 1994, compared to 1.25% at December 31, 1993.  This stellar
asset quality did not translate into improved income, as the Company's
net interest margin declined from 3.94% in 1993 to 3.46% in 1994.
Furthermore, substantial nonrecurring charges caused noninterest
expenses to be abnormally high.  However, underlying the financial
statements are significant changes in BancTEXAS which suggest a much
brighter future is ahead.

 Recognizing the need to establish a solid base upon which to build the
future of BancTEXAS, management and the Board of Directors focused its
efforts in 1994 on three objectives:  (a) to increase the capital
position to allow meaningful growth, either internally or through
acquisitions; (b) to redirect the organizational structure, internal
systems and corporate psychology to enable BancTEXAS to significantly
reduce its overhead; and (c) to realign the asset/liability structure of
the Company to provide a level of control over interest rate risk
commensurate with that achieved over credit risk.  Looking back at these
objectives at year end, each has either been completed, or is well under
way.

 The most prominent event of 1994 was the private placement of $30
million of Class B common stock, which was completed in August.  This
was significant not only because it required the approval of the
shareholders at the Annual Meeting and it established a capital position
substantially in excess of all regulatory requirements, but also because
it created the opportunity to aggressively address the other objectives.

 Concurrent with the private placement, the Company initiated another
review of its cost structure recognizing that new economies might now be
available through the services offered by a larger organization.  Of
particular concern were its various benefits plans, which had become
extremely expensive to the Company.  After thorough consideration,
management and the Board determined that it was no longer economically
feasible to continue the accumulation of benefits under its defined
benefits pension plan or to continue to offer Company contributions to
its post retirement medical benefits plan.  At the same time, it was
recognized that given this decision, it was also not reasonable to
continue to amortize the unfunded cost of the accumulated benefits under
these plans into the future.  Therefore, the Company recorded a one-time
accrual of $1.7 million to reflect these obligations.

 Since today's banking environment requires that staffing levels be
adjusted to accomplish its overhead objectives, the Company reevaluated
its personnel requirements considering the availability of various
services and personnel on an "as needed" basis from its new shareholder,
First Banks.  While this is always a difficult task, the presence of
these services provides added flexibility in staffing which was not
previously possible.  In order to provide for the costs of this process,
the Company recorded an accrual of $430,000.

 Once the capital base was in place, management and the Board focused
their attention on the asset/liability structure of the Company,
particularly its investment portfolio.  Unlike the two preceding years,
1994 was a year of rapidly increasing interest rates.  In this
environment, the strategy of acquiring a substantial portfolio of
mortgage-backed securities, a significant portion of which was purchased
with borrowed funds, was reevaluated.  It was determined that the rate of


                                    1

increase in the cost of the borrowed funds significantly exceeded the
related increases in the yield of the investment portfolio, contributing
to a declining net interest margin.  Faced with the prospect that this
margin might become negative on a major portion of the Company's assets,
management and the Board decided to dispose of over $113 million of
securities, or approximately one-third of the total assets of BancTEXAS.
The funds generated by this were used to reduce the related liabilities,
as well as to fund the Company's loan growth.  Although this resulted in
realizing a loss of over $7 million, it was a significant factor in the
increase in net interest margin from 3.11% in the second quarter of 1994
to 3.84% in the fourth quarter.

 As a final step in this process, the Company entered into a series of
interest rate hedging transactions to mitigate the effects which further
interest rate changes might have on its net interest margin.  Although
in the short-run hedging has the effect of reducing net interest margin,
it improves the ability of management to maintain its margin during
periods of changing rates.

 In December 1994, BancTEXAS' Board elected to implement another change
which is referred to as a "quasi-reorganization".  This is an accounting
procedure which results in restating the carrying values of the
Company's assets and liabilities to their current fair values, and
eliminating the deficit which had accumulated over many years in
retained earnings.  This had no effect on earnings or cash flow, but was
the last measure required to "put the past behind us" and begin working
together to build the future BancTEXAS organization on a sound base.

 In keeping with its announced intention of acquiring other financial
institutions, with the increased capacity afforded by the capital
position, management actively continued its pursuit of acquisition
candidates, particularly in its primary market areas of Dallas and
Houston.  After discussing possible combinations with several prospects,
it became apparent that the pricing expectations of the selling
shareholders exceeded the fair value of their institutions.  In light of
this development, management and the Board are considering expanding the
geographic area of its acquisition criteria to direct its focus toward
more productive acquisition efforts.

 Having set in motion all of these activities, the Company's Chairman,
Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Nathan C. ("Nate") Collins
announced his decision in November to retire.  Nate joined BancTEXAS
after the recapitalization in 1987 and steered the Company through the
turbulent times which preceded the failure of BankTEXAS Dallas N. A. in
1990.  He then led the rebuilding process to bring BancTEXAS to its
present position.  Having accomplished this, Nate felt that his task at
BancTEXAS was completed.  We are sure that you will join the management
and Board of Directors of BancTEXAS in expressing our thanks and our
best wishes to Nate and his family in his well deserved retirement.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations


GENERAL

 BancTEXAS Group Inc. is a registered bank holding company incorporated
in Delaware.  At December 31, 1994 BancTEXAS Group Inc. and
subsidiaries (BancTEXAS or the Company) had approximately $331.8
million in total assets, $203.3 million in total loans, net of unearned
discount, $241.6 million in total deposits and $39.7 million in total
stockholders' equity.  The Company operates through its subsidiary
bank, BankTEXAS N. A. (the Bank).

 Through the Bank's six banking locations in Houston, Dallas, McKinney
and Irving, Texas, the Company offers a broad range of commercial and
personal banking services, including certificates of deposit,
individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking and
other demand deposit accounts, interest checking accounts, savings
accounts and money market accounts.  The Bank offers various loan
products to its customers, including commercial and industrial,
commercial and residential real estate, real estate construction and
development, and consumer loans.  In addition, the Bank makes available
to its customers other financial services, which include automatic
teller machines, credit related insurance and safe deposit boxes.

 The Company's management philosophy is to centralize overall corporate
policies, procedural and administrative functions and to provide
operational support functions for the Bank.  Primary responsibility for
managing the Bank remains with its officers and directors.

 On August 31, 1994, BancTEXAS issued and sold 37,500,000 shares of
Class B common stock (the Class B Stock) in a private placement in
exchange for $30 million in cash.  This increased the capital of
BancTEXAS to levels substantially in excess of regulatory requirements.
As a result of this transaction, the purchaser of the Class B Stock,
First Banks, Inc. (First Banks) became the owner of approximately 65.05%
of the outstanding voting stock of BancTEXAS at August 31, 1994 (see
note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND AVERAGE BALANCES

 The Company's average total assets were $363.7 million, $333.6 million
and $314.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.  The increase in total assets primarily reflected
an expansion of the investment portfolio to an average of $141.7
million for the year ended December 31, 1994, compared with $132.6
million and $100.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively.  This was the result of an investment strategy
which the Company was following during this period whereby funds were
borrowed, principally repurchase agreements and advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, which were in turn used to purchase securities.
Consequently, there was a corresponding increase in average short-term
borrowings to $89.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1994
compared with $55.6 million and $34.6 million for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

 The loan portfolio, the Company's largest category of earning assets
decreased from an average of $183.3 million for the year ended December
31, 1992 to $171.9 million in 1993, and increased to $182.9 million in
1994.  BancTEXAS has had a strong presence in automobile financing,
primarily on an indirect basis through dealers in Houston and Dallas,
Texas.  Because of this presence and its expertise in this type of
lending, BancTEXAS originated loans in excess of its portfolio
capacity.  Consequently, the excess loan production was periodically
sold to unrelated entities, primarily other financial institutions.  In
addition, in 1993, the Company began originating for resale FHA Title I
home improvement loans.  As a result, BancTEXAS sold an aggregate of
$55.6 million and $37.9 million of loans during the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The ability to sell loans in
this manner allows BancTEXAS the flexibility of controlling the
aggregate level and mix of its loan portfolio, as well as providing a
source of noninterest income.

              Management's Discussion and Analysis of
     Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


 During this period, BancTEXAS was endeavoring to change its deposit
structure.  Noninterest-bearing demand accounts increased from an
average of $38.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1992 to $45.1
million and $49.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1993 and
1994, respectively.  This growth provided the Company with an
opportunity to reduce its reliance on time deposits of $100,000 and
over.  These deposits were reduced from an average of $35.1 million, or
13.4% of total deposits in 1992, to $33.0 million, or 12.7% of total
deposits in 1993, and $19.9 million, or 8.1% of total deposits in 1994.


 However, in spite of these changes, BancTEXAS experienced a declining
net interest income and net interest margin during this period.  The
following table sets forth certain information relating to the
Company's average balance sheet and the related interest income or
expense and average interest yield earned and rate paid for the years
ended December 31:

NET INTEREST INCOME

 The primary source of the Company's earnings is its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest earned on assets
and the interest paid on liabilities.  Net interest income was
$11,557,000, or 3.46% of average earning assets for the year ended
December 31, 1994, compared with $12,216,000, or 3.94% of average
earning assets, and $13,506,000, or 4.63% of average earning assets for
the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

            Management's Discussion and Analysis of
   Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)



 With the general decline in interest rates during 1992 and 1993, the
yield on the Company's loan portfolio decreased from 9.85% in 1992 to
8.82% in 1993.  Because the Company's loan portfolio consists
predominately of automobile loans, which are generally fixed rate loans
with relatively short average lives, as new loans were originated they
were generally at rates below those of the existing portfolio.  In
addition, during this time the Company was selling its excess loan
originations, primarily from loans which were seasoned six to nine
months.  Since in a declining rate environment the rates on these loans
tended to be somewhat higher than those on newly originated loans, this
had the effect of reducing the average portfolio yield at a more rapid
rate than would have occurred if loans were not sold.

 In 1994, as interest rates increased, BancTEXAS found that its ability
to sell loans had decreased substantially.  Furthermore, intense
competition for automobile loans, particularly with non-bank entities,
caused market rates to increase more slowly than interest rates in
general.  Consequently, the amounts and rates at which new loans were
originated were each less than anticipated.  The combination of this
trend and the continued repayments of the older loans, which were
generally at higher rates, caused the yield on the loan portfolio to
continue its decline to 8.31% for the year ended December 31, 1994,
compared with 8.82% for the year ended December 31, 1993.

 While the yield on the loan portfolio declined during this period, the
Company's cost of interest-bearing deposits, the principal source of
funding for the loan portfolio, failed to decrease in tandem.  From the
average of 4.38% for the year ended December 31, 1992, the cost of
interest-bearing deposits declined to 3.58% for the year ended December
31, 1993, or 80 basis points.  However, during the same period the
decrease in yield of the loan portfolio was 103 basis points.  For the
year ended December 31, 1994, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities
was 3.64%, an increase of six basis points over that of 1993.  At the
same time, however, the average yield on the loan portfolio decreased
51 basis points, further compressing the net interest margin.


 Realizing the need to provide other sources of generating net interest
income, the Company began following an investment strategy in 1992
whereby funds were borrowed, principally as advances and short-term
repurchase agreements from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which were
invested in mortgage-backed securities.  This generated an incremental
spread, thereby enhancing income.  In order to limit the amount of
interest rate exposure in this strategy, the majority of the securities
acquired had adjustable rates.  All of the adjustable rate securities
acquired were based on the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index
(COFI), which by its nature is an index which generally reacts more
slowly to interest rate changes than more frequently used indices.
Consequently, as rates declined in 1992 and 1993, this index decreased
more slowly than interest rates generally, causing the spread between
these investments and the corresponding cost of funds to widen.  This
contributed significantly to the net interest margin for the year.
However, as the interest rate declines slowed in 1993 and rates
increased in 1994, this contribution to net interest margin was
substantially reduced.  The following is a comparison of the yield
earned on the investment portfolio and the cost of short-term
borrowings for the years ended December 31:

             Management's Discussion and Analysis of
    Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)



 Although a substantial portion of the investment portfolio was funded
from other sources, this decreasing interest spread on that portion
funded from short-term borrowings was a significant factor in the
decline in net interest margin during this period.  Furthermore, as the
securities portfolio increased in amount, the portion of this portfolio
which was funded with borrowed funds increased.

 Concerned that further increases in interest rates might cause the
interest spread on these securities to become negative, in September
1994, the Company sold $113,852,000 of securities, realizing a loss of
$7,055,000, and reducing the amount of borrowed funds.  While this had
a substantial negative impact on earnings for the year ended December
31, 1994, it contributed to an increase in the net interest income for
the fourth quarter, which was $3,130,000, compared with $2,854,000 for
the third quarter of 1994.  Similarly, net interest margin increased to
3.84% for the fourth quarter of 1994, compared with 3.23% for the third
quarter of 1994.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1994 AND 1993

 Net loss for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $905,000, compared
with net income of $219,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993.  The
results of operations for 1994 were significantly affected by the
decline in net interest income to $11,557,000 compared with $12,216,000
for 1993, as well as the net loss on sales of investment securities of
$7,007,000 in 1994, both of which are discussed above.  In addition,
there were several other factors affecting the 1994 results, some of
which were nonrecurring.

 The provision for possible loan losses was $1,258,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1994, compared to $490,000 for 1993.  Although asset
quality continued to improve, net charge-offs increased to $1,139,000
for 1994, compared to $897,000 for 1993.  When combined with an
increase in total loans, management assessed the adequacy of the
allowance for possible loan losses and determined that it would be
prudent to strengthen it through the additional provision.

 Following the completion of the private placement of Class B common
stock in August 1994, the Company analyzed its deferred income tax
assets and liabilities, and particularly the probability of their
utilization.  Because of the history of BancTEXAS, the ability of the
Company to consistently generate sufficient taxable income to realize
the benefits of the various tax attributes which were available to it
was uncertain.  For this reason, the Company had fully reserved its net
deferred tax assets in 1993. With the receipt of the additional capital
from the private placement, and the cash proceeds therefrom, it was
determined that the ability of BancTEXAS to generate future taxable
income was substantially enhanced.  Although the nature of the
transaction caused the imposition of certain limitations under the
Internal Revenue Code, which will result in the expiration of a portion
of the tax attributes before they can be utilized, the analysis
indicates that a substantial portion remains which can be utilized.  As
a result of this analysis, the Company reduced the valuation allowance
established in connection with the deferred tax assets. This
contributed to the recognition of a credit for deferred income taxes
for the year ended December 31, 1994 of $9,461,000.

Noninterest Income

 Service charges on deposit accounts decreased approximately $115,000,
or 7.5% in 1994 compared with 1993.  In 1992 the Company had tightened
its policy of verifying the credit history of new deposit customers to
reduce its exposure to losses from checks drawn on accounts with
insufficient funds.  At the same time, service charge increases were
instituted in several areas, principally affecting demand deposit
accounts.  While this resulted in an immediate increase in service
charge income, gradually those customers who customarily maintained
relatively small accounts, and therefore incurred larger service
charges relative to the amount of funds on deposit, began changing
their account relationships.  Many of those with funds in other
accounts transferred sufficient funds to their demand accounts to
reduce the amount of the service charges.  Others who did not have
those funds available closed their accounts.  This resulted in a net
reduction of the number of customer accounts serviced by BancTEXAS
during this period, but an increase in the average balance of the
remaining accounts.

       Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)



 In 1993, BancTEXAS realized gains of $698,000 from the sale of loans,
primarily the sale of automobile loans originated which exceeded the
capacity of the loan portfolio.  As interest rates increased in 1994,
the Company's ability to sell these loans was substantially reduced, and
the gains on such sales decreased to $38,000.  In connection with these
loan sales, BancTEXAS retained the related servicing rights.  The
Company received only a portion of the annual servicing fees in 1993 on
those loans sold during the year, but a full year's fees in 1994.
Consequently, income from servicing loans for others increased from
$201,000 in 1993 to $290,000 in 1994.

 The increase in other noninterest income for the year ended December
31, 1994 related principally to the receipt of $255,000 in settlement of
litigation relating to the failure of BancTEXAS Dallas N.A. in 1990.

Noninterest Expense

 Total noninterest expense was $16,174,000 for the year ended December
31, 1994, compared with $14,575,000 for the year ended December 31,
1993.  Included in 1994 expenses were several non-recurring charges
reflecting changes initiated during the year by BancTEXAS.  These
included: (a) accruals of $430,000 for severance benefits relating to
the realignment of staffing levels; (b) an increase in the expense for the
deferred benefit pension plan of $839,000 for which the accumulation of
benefits was discontinued in 1994; and (c) an accrual of $898,000 for the
unfunded liability relating to the post-retirement medical benefits plan,
Company funding of which was discontinued in 1994 with respect to future
retirees.


 Because most of the effects of these non-recurring charges were
reflected as personnel expenses, these expenses increased to $8,911,000
for the year ended December 31, 1994, compared with $6,483,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $2,428,000, or 37.5%.  The
components of this increase were as follows:


                                                                       Increase

 Occupancy expense, net of rental income, decreased from $1,348,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1993 to $1,321,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1994.  This decrease primarily resulted from rental income
of the McKinney building by unrelated tenants, which increased from
$245,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 to $286,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1994, an increase of 16.7%.  This increase in rental
income was partially offset by rent expense on the Company's Abrams
facility, which was opened in September 1993.

 Expenses related to furniture and equipment decreased in 1994 to
$843,000 from $919,000 for 1993, a decrease of $76,000, or 8.3%.  In
the past, the Company has leased substantial portions of the equipment
required for bank operations.  Most of these leases expired during 1993
and 1994 and were not renewed.  As the leases expired, the Company
purchased that equipment which was still required for operations, if
the equipment was serviceable and the cost was reasonable.  Other
equipment was acquired as necessary.  Consequently, rent expense on
equipment leases decreased from $255,000 for the year ended December
31, 1993 to $157,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.

 Premiums paid to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation decreased
from $754,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 to $684,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1994, a decrease of $70,000, or 9.3%, primarily
as a result of reductions in the rate assessed BancTEXAS between the
two years.

 Legal, examination and professional fees decreased from $1,580,000 in
the year ended December 31, 1993 to $1,203,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1994, a decrease of $377,000, or 23.9%.  In 1993, the
Company settled a class action lawsuit relating to a 1984 private
placement of common stock.  The cost of this settlement was reflected
as a separate expense during the year ended December 31, 1993.  In
addition, in February 1994, the court ruled in favor of the Company in
a significant lawsuit in which claims of lender liability had been
asserted.  While this litigation is being appealed by the plaintiffs,
the legal fees required to defend the Company's position in connection
with this action, as well as the class action, was substantially
reduced in 1994.

 Other noninterest expenses increased to $1,072,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1994, compared with $762,000 for the year ended December
31, 1993, an increase of $310,000, or 40.7%.  Included in other
expenses for 1994 was a non-recurring charge of $295,000 incurred in
connection with a change in the Company's vendors single interest
insurance policies relating to its indirect automobile lending program.
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 1993, BancTEXAS
reversed approximately $354,000 of estimated accrued costs relating to
the failure of BancTEXAS Dallas N. A., BancTEXAS' former subsidiary,
that were no longer considered necessary.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1993 AND 1992

 Net income for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $219,000, compared
with net income of 1,064,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992.
However, before an extraordinary credit of $362,000, net income for
1992 was $702,000.  Net income for 1993 was significantly affected by
the reduction of net interest income from $13,506,000, or 4.63% of
average earning assets in 1992 to $12,216,000, or 3.94% of average
earning assets in 1993, which was discussed previously.  However, this
was partially offset by an increase in noninterest income from
$2,629,000 in 1992 to $3,068,000 in 1993.

Noninterest Income

 Noninterest income for 1993 included securities gains of $243,000,
compared to $103,000 for 1992.  Service charges on deposit accounts and
other service charges and fees decreased $69,000, or 4%, from 1992 to
1993. This decrease includes reduced revenue resulting from closing the
safe deposit function at one of BancTEXAS's locations of $34,000 and
decreased revenue from return check charges of $31,000.  Income from
loan sales increased to $698,000 for 1993, compared with $372,000 in
1992, an increase of $326,000.  The increased volume of loan sales also
resulted in an increase in loan servicing income, which was $201,000 in
1993 compared to $70,000 in 1992.  As of December 31, 1993, BancTEXAS is
servicing $39 million of consumer loans for third parties compared to
$19 million as of December 31, 1992.

 Other noninterest income decreased $89,000 from 1992 to 1993, or 29.8%,
primarily the result of a reduction of annuity income of $46,000.

Noninterest Expense

 Total noninterest expense for 1993 increased $13,000 or .1% from 1992.
The magnitude of increase is indicative of the continued effort to
control expenses.  Personnel expense increased $323,000 or 5.2% from
1992 to 1993.  This increase reflected normal merit raises for the year
and severance payments made for a minor staff reduction at year-end
1993.

 Occupancy expense decreased $116,000 or 7.9% from 1992 to 1993.  This
decrease was due to more favorable terms in renegotiated leases and
receiving more tenant income from the Bank's building in McKinney.

 Equipment expense increased $228,000 or 33.0% from 1992 to 1993.  This
increase is primarily due to the purchase of new equipment to maintain
pace with current technology.

 Insurance premiums paid to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
increased $224,000 or 42.3% from 1992.  During 1993, the FDIC initiated
a new rate schedule.  The average premium charged for the Bank for FDIC
Insurance on its deposits in 1993 was 30 cents per $1,000 compared to 23
cents per $1,000 in 1992.

 Losses and expenses on foreclosed real estate decreased $962,000 or
85.3% from 1992 to 1993.  This is primarily the result of lower real
estate taxes and a lower provision for future losses.  Included in
losses and expenses on foreclosed real estate were provisions for losses
of $382,000 in 1993 and $1.1 million in 1992.

 Included in noninterest expense in 1993 is a litigation settlement of
$592,000.  As more fully discussed in note 18 of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, this litigation related to a class
action lawsuit involving a private placement of common stock completed
in 1984.  This action was settled in 1993.

 Other noninterest expenses decreased $412,000 or 35.1% from 1992 to
1993.  These decreases resulted primarily from the reversal of $354,000
in estimated costs relating to the failure of BancTEXAS's former
subsidiary that were no longer necessary.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

 BancTEXAS classifies the securities within its investment portfolio as
held-to-maturity or available-for sale.  BancTEXAS does not engage in
the trading of investment securities.  As more fully described in the
Net Interest Income section hereof and note 4 of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, during 1994 management conducted a
review of its investment portfolio and practices.  As a result of the
review, it was decided to reclassify the remaining securities within the
held-to-maturity portfolio to available-for-sale and sell certain of
these available-for-sale securities.  In addition, as more fully
described in the Interest Rate Risk management section hereof and notes
1 and 19 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
BancTEXAS implemented a hedging program to reduce the interest rate risk
of the available-for-sale portfolio.  BancTEXAS specifically hedges the
interest rate risk of the available-for-sale portfolio with interest
rate futures contracts.

LOANS

 Interest earned on the loan portfolio is the primary source of income
for the Bank.  Loans, net of unearned discount, represented 61.3% of
total assets as of December 31, 1994, as compared to 45.5% as of
December 31, 1993.  For 1994, loan growth, net of unearned discount, was
$35.6 million.  The growth is primarily attributable to consumer
automobile loans.

The Bank sold loans of $55.6 million and $37.9 million during 1994 and
1993, respectively.  Loans serviced for investors totaled $21 million
and $39 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

During 1993 the Company began originating FHA Title I home improvement
residential mortgage loans which are held for resale to investors.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

 Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans,
foreclosed property and loans past due 90 days or more but not included
in nonaccrual loans.  Loans are placed on nonaccrual when, in the
opinion of management, collection of principal or interest is doubtful.
Loans past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest
are placed on nonaccrual unless they are both well secured and in the
process of collection.  The following table presents the categories of
nonperforming assets for the past five years.

   As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, approximately $2.5 million and
$2.3 million, respectively, of loans not included in the table above
were identified by management as having potential credit problems which
raised doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the
present loan repayment terms.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

 At December 31, 1994, the allowance for loan losses was $2.8 million,
or 1.36% of total loans, compared to $2.6 million, or 1.57% of total
loans, at December 31, 1993.  Allowance for loan losses to total
nonperforming loans was 578.99% and 185.05% for 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  The improvement from 1993 to 1994 was primarily due to
nonperforming loans declining from $1.4 million to $476,000 at December
31, 1993 and 1994, respectively.

 Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate at
December 31, 1994.  The adequacy of the reserve is determinable only on
an approximate basis since estimation of the magnitude and timing of
loan losses involves subjective judgments.  In evaluating the adequacy
of the reserve at December 31, 1994, consideration was given to such
factors as management's  evaluation of specific loans; the level and
composition of classified loans; historical loss experience; results of
examinations by regulatory agencies; an internal asset review process
that is independent of the Bank's management; expectations of future
economic conditions and their impact on particular industries and
individual borrowers; concentrations of credit; management depth and
experience; and other judgmental factors.

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of
       Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)



 The provision for loan losses for 1994 was $1.3 million, compared to
$490,000 for 1993 and $507,000 for 1992.  Net charge-offs were $1.1
million for 1994, compared to $897,000 for 1993 and $1.9 million for
1992.  Net charge-offs for 1994 and 1993 represented .62% and .52% of
average loans, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for loan
losses for the past five years.

conditions within specific industries or geographic areas.  In
addition, all large borrowers, at a minimum, are required to provide
annual statements of condition and profit and loss statements.  When
the loan is secured by income producing real estate, detailed rent
rolls and operational expenses are provided by the borrower.  The
frequency of information provided by all types of borrowers ranges from
monthly to annually, depending on the size of the transaction, the
collateral and the financial condition of the borrower.  All criticized
loans, at a minimum, are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.

CAPITAL

 On August 31, 1994, BancTEXAS issued and sold for $30 million in a
private placement 37,500,000 shares of Class B Stock to First Banks,
Inc., a multi-bank holding company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Class B Stock is generally equivalent to the Company's Common Stock,
except that it is not registered or transferable by First Banks, other
than to an affiliated entity, and has dividend rights which are junior
to those of the Company's Common Stock.  From the net proceeds of this
private placement, after issuance expenses of $377,000, $17 million was
contributed to the capital of the Bank.  The remainder is held by
BancTEXAS for future use in connection with acquisitions or other
corporate purposes.  As a result of this transaction, First Banks owned
64.6% of the total outstanding voting stock as of December 31, 1994.

 Risk-based capital guidelines for financial institutions were adopted
by regulatory authorities effective after December 31, 1990.  These
guidelines are designed to relate regulatory capital requirements to the
risk profiles of the specific institutions and to provide more uniform
requirements among the various regulators.  Under these guidelines,
BancTEXAS and the Bank are required to maintain a minimum risk-based
capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0%, with at least 4.0% being
"Tier 1" capital.  Tier 1 capital is composed of total stockholders'
equity.  The minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of
3.0% must be maintained.  However, for all but the most highly rated
financial institutions and for bank-holding companies seeking to expand,
regulatory authorities expect a leverage ratio of 3.0% plus 100 to 200
basis points will be maintained.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

 Managing interest rate risk is fundamental to banking.  Banking
institutions manage the inherently different maturity and repricing
characteristics of the lending and deposit-taking activities to achieve
a desired interest rate sensitivity position and to limit their
exposure to interest rate risk.  The Bank's inherent maturity and
repricing characteristics of the lending and deposit activities creates
a naturally liability-sensitive structure.  By using a combination of
on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, the Bank manages its
interest rate sensitivity to within the policy guidelines.

 The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Bank's Board of Directors
reviews the overall interest rate risk management activity.  The ALCO,
which includes the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Officers
representing the investment, credit and finance areas, oversees the
interest rate risk management process and approves policy guidelines.
The Asset Liability Management Group monitors the day-to-day exposure
to interest rate risk and implements necessary adjustments as directed
by the ALCO and provided by the policy guidelines.  Such adjustments
may be necessary in response to changes in interest rates and loan and
deposit volumes.

 BancTEXAS' objective regarding interest rate risk management is to
position BancTEXAS such that changes in interest rates do not have a
material adverse impact upon the net market value and net income of
BancTEXAS.  To measure the impact from interest rate changes, BancTEXAS
recalculates its net income over a one-year horizon and net market
value on a proforma basis assuming instantaneous, permanent parallel
shifts in the yield curve, in varying amounts both upward and downward.
Larger increases or decreases in BancTEXAS' net market value and net
income as a result of these assumed interest rate changes indicates
greater levels of interest rate sensitivity than do smaller increases
and decreases in BancTEXAS' net market value and net income.  BancTEXAS
endeavors to maintain a position whereby the proforma impact to the net
market value and net income would not exceed 4.0% and 10.0% for an
assumed 50 and 100 basis points increases and decreases in general
interest rates, respectively.

 Within the overall interest rate risk management strategy, during
1994, BancTEXAS expanded its use of off-balance sheet derivative
financial instruments as a cost and capital efficient way to manage
interest rate sensitivity.  These off-balance sheet derivative
financial instruments are utilized to modify the repricing or maturity
characteristics of on-balance sheet assets and liabilities.  As more
fully described in notes 1 and 19 to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements, BancTEXAS holds a combination of off-balance
sheet derivative financial instruments, generally limited to interest
rate cap agreements and interest rate futures contracts.  The use of
such derivative financial instruments is strictly limited to reducing
the interest rate risk exposure of BancTEXAS to within the
aforementioned prescribed policy guidelines.

 In addition to the simulation model employed by BancTEXAS, a more
traditional interest rate sensitivity position is prepared and reviewed
in conjunction with the results of the simulation model.  The following

 Management makes certain assumptions in preparing the table above.
These assumptions include:  loans will repay at historic repayment
speeds; mortgage-backed securities, included in investment securities,
will repay at projected repayment speeds; interest-bearing demand
accounts and savings accounts are interest-sensitive at a rate of 37%
and 17%, respectively, of the remaining balance for each period
presented; and fixed maturity deposits will not be withdrawn prior to
maturity.

 The interest-sensitivity position is one of several measurements of
the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income.  Its
usefulness in assessing the effect of potential changes in net interest
income varies with the constant change in the composition of the
Company's assets and liabilities.  For this reason, the Company uses
the simulation model.

LIQUIDITY

 The liquidity of BancTEXAS and the Bank is the ability to maintain a
cash flow which is adequate to fund operations and meet obligations and
other commitments on a timely basis.  The Bank receives funds for
liquidity from customer deposits, loan payments, maturities, and sales
of investments and earnings.  In addition, the Bank may avail itself of
more volatile sources of funds through issuance of certificates of
deposit in denominations of $100,000 or more, federal funds borrowed,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  The aggregate funds acquired from these
sources were $44.5 million and $107.2 million at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.  The decrease is attributable to the repayment of
certain borrowings from the proceeds received upon sales of investment
securities and sale of Class B Stock to First Banks.

 Management believes that the available liquidity and operating results
of the Bank will be sufficient to provide funds for growth and to meet
BancTEXAS' operating and debt service requirements both on a short-term
and long-term basis.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

 The Company and the Bank are extensively regulated under Federal and
state law.  These laws and regulations are intended to protect
depositors, not stockholders.

 In December of 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act (FDICIA) was enacted; it included many significant
provisions that affect the Company's and the Bank's operations.  The
Act established new and expanded reporting and auditing standards,
expanded regulatory supervision and established new consumer
provisions.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS
114).  During October 1994, the FASB issued SFAS 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures" (SFAS 118), which amends SFAS 114.

 SFAS 114 (as amended by SFAS 118) defines the recognition criterion
for loan impairment and the measurement methods for certain impaired
loans and loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt
restructurings (a restructured loan).  Specifically, a loan is
considered impaired when it is probable a creditor will be unable to
collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms of
the loan agreement.  When measuring impairment, the expected future
cash flows of an impaired loan are required to be discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate.  Alternatively, impairment can be
measured by reference to an observable market price, if one exists, or
the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines
foreclosure is probable.  Additionally, impairment of a restructured
loan is measured by discounting the total expected future cash flows at
the loan's effective rate of interest as stated in the original loan
agreement.

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of
       Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)



 SFAS 118 amended SFAS 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods
for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan.  Prior to the
issuance of SFAS 118, SFAS 114 provided for two alternative income
recognition methods to be used to account for changes in the net
carrying amount of an impaired loan subsequent to the initial
measurement of impairment.  Under the first income recognition method,
a creditor would accrue interest on the net carrying amount of the
impaired loan and report other changes in the net carrying amount of
the loan as an adjustment to the provision for loan losses.  Under the
second income recognition method, a creditor would recognize all
changes in the net carrying amount of the loan as an adjustment to the
provision for loan losses.  While those income recognition methods are
no longer required, SFAS 118 does not preclude a creditor from using
either of those methods.

 The impact of initially applying SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 will be
reported as a component of the provision for possible loan losses
charged to operations, rather than as an accounting change.
Consequently, the Company does not believe implementation of these
Statements would have a material effect on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.  SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 14, 1994.

 During October 1994, the FASB issued SFAS 119, "Disclosure about
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" (SFAS 119).  SFAS 119 requires disclosures about the
amounts, nature, and terms of derivative financial instruments that are
not subject to SFAS 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial
Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with
Concentrations of Credit Risk" (SFAS 105) because they do not result in
off-balance-sheet risk of accounting loss.  SFAS 119 requires that a
distinction be made between financial instruments held or issued for
trading purposes and financial instruments held or issued for purposes
other than trading.

 SFAS 119 amended SFAS 105 to require disaggregation of information
about financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk of accounting
loss by class, business activity, risk, or other category that is
consistent with the entity's management of those instruments.  SFAS 119
also amended SFAS 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" (SFAS 107) to require that fair value information be
presented without combining, aggregating, or netting the fair value of
derivative financial instruments with the fair value of nonderivative
financial instruments and be presented together with the related
carrying amounts in the body of the financial statements, a single
footnote, or a summary table in a form that makes it clear whether the
amounts represent assets or liabilities.

 SFAS 119 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
ending after December 14, 1994.  The Company implemented SFAS 119 on
December 31, 1994, which resulted in no effect on the consolidated
financial statements other than additional disclosure requirements
included in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

 Financial institutions are less affected by inflation than other types
of companies.  Financial institutions make relatively few significant
asset acquisitions which are directly affected by changing prices.
Instead, the assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature.
Consequently, interest rates are more significant to the performance of
financial institutions than the effect of general inflation levels.
While a relationship exists between the inflation rate and interest
rates, the Company believes this is generally manageable through its
asset/liability management program.

                          Management's Report




 Management of BancTEXAS Group Inc. has established and maintains a
system of internal controls that provides reasonable assurance as to
the integrity and reliability of the financial statements, the
protection of assets from unauthorized use or disposition, and the
prevention and detection of fraudulent financial reporting.  The system
of internal controls provides for appropriate division of
responsibility and is documented by written policies and procedures.
Management continually monitors the system of internal controls for
compliance.  BancTEXAS Group Inc. maintains a strong internal auditing
program that independently assesses the effectiveness of the internal
controls and recommends possible improvements thereto.  In addition,
the financial statements have been audited by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP,
independent certified public accountants.  As part of its audit of the
financial statements, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP completed a study and
evaluation of selected internal accounting controls to establish a
basis for reliance thereon in determining the nature, timing, and
extent of audit tests to be applied.  Management believes that, as of
December 31, 1994, the system of internal controls is adequate to
accomplish the objectives discussed herein.

 Management has made available to KPMG Peat Marwick LLP all the
financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of
stockholders' and directors' meetings.  Furthermore, management
believes that all representations made to KPMG Peat Marwick LLP during
its audit were valid and appropriate.

 The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of directors
who are not employees of BancTEXAS Group Inc. or any of its
subsidiaries.  The Audit Committee meets periodically with management,
the internal auditors and the independent accountants to review
accounting, auditing, internal accounting controls and financial
reporting matters.

                      Independent Auditors' Report






To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
BancTEXAS Group Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
BancTEXAS Group Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.  The
accompanying 1993 and 1992 consolidated financial statements of
BancTEXAS Group Inc. and subsidiaries were audited by other auditors,
whose report dated March 18, 1994 on those statements, included an
explanatory paragraph describing the Company's adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" and SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities" in 1993.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 1994 consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of BancTEXAS Group Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



(1)   GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


      The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BancTEXAS Group
      Inc. and subsidiaries (BancTEXAS or the Company) have been prepared in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and conform to
      practices prevalent among financial institutions.  The following is a
      summary of the more significant policies followed by BancTEXAS:


      Business


      BancTEXAS provides a full range of banking services to individual and
      corporate customers through its subsidiary bank, BankTEXAS N.A. (the
      Bank), located in Houston, Dallas, McKinney and Irving, Texas.
      BancTEXAS and the Bank are subject to regulations of various federal
      agencies and undergo periodic examinations by these regulatory agencies.


      Basis of Presentation


      In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
      required to make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect
      the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
      consolidated balance sheet.  The most significant estimate, which is
      particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term, relates
      to the determination of the allowance for possible loan losses.


      As discussed in Note 2, the Board of Directors of BancTEXAS elected
      to implement an accounting adjustment referred to as a "quasi-
      reorganization", effective December 31, 1994.  In accordance with
      accounting provisions applicable to a quasi-reorganization, the assets
      and liabilities of BancTEXAS have been adjusted to their fair values and
      the accumulated deficit in retained earnings has been eliminated.


      Principles of Consolidation


      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent
      company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  All
      significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


      Cash and Cash Equivalents


      The Bank maintains deposit balances with various banks which are
      necessary for check collection and account activity charges.  Cash in
      excess of immediate requirements is invested on a daily basis in federal
      funds or interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.
      Cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits
      with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be
      cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of
      cash flows.


      The Bank is required to maintain certain daily reserve balances in
      accordance with regulatory requirements.  These reserve balances were
      $2,756,000 and $2,637,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


      Investment Securities


      BancTEXAS adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
      and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115) at December 31, 1993.  Under SFAS 115,
      BancTEXAS classifies the debt and equity securities within its
      investment portfolio at the time of purchase as being held-to-maturity
      or available-for-sale.  This classification is made at the time of
      purchase, except for the reclassification of investment securities in
      September 1994 described in Note 4.  At December 31, 1994, all
      investment securities are classified as available-for-sale.  BancTEXAS
      does not engage in the trading of investment securities.


      Investment securities designated as held-to-maturity are those debt
      securities which BancTEXAS has the positive intent and ability to hold
      until maturity.  Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized
      cost, in which the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts
      are recognized over the contractual maturities or estimated lives of
      the individual securities using the level-yield method.


      Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are those debt
      and equity securities for which BancTEXAS has no immediate plan to sell,
      but which may be sold in the future if circumstances warrant.
      Available-for-sale securities are stated at current fair value.
      Realized gains and losses are included in other noninterest income upon
      commitment to sell, based on the amortized cost of the individual
      security sold.  Unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of
      related income tax effects, in a separate component of stockholders'
      equity.  All previous fair value adjustments included in stockholders'
      equity are reversed upon sale.


      Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at
      the date of transfer.


      Loans


      Interest and fees on commercial, real estate and simple interest
      installment loans are recognized in income using the interest method.
      Interest on other installment loans is recorded under the
      sum-of-the-digits method, which approximates the interest method.  Loans
      held for portfolio are stated at cost as BancTEXAS has the ability and
      it is management's intention to hold them to maturity.  Loans held for
      sale are stated at lower of cost or fair value.  Fair value is estimated
      based on the present values of the expected cash flows from principal
      amortization assuming historical prepayment experience and appropriate
      risk-adjusted spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve.  Gains or losses
      recognized upon the sale of loans are determined on a specific
      identification basis.


      The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when it appears that
      interest or principal may not be paid in a timely manner in the normal
      course of business.  Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans
      are recorded as principal reductions.  Interest income is recognized
      after all principal has been repaid or an improvement in the condition
      of the loan has occurred which would warrant resumption of interest
      accruals.


      Loan Origination Fees


      Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination
      costs relating to loans retained in the portfolio are deferred and
      amortized over the expected lives of the loans using a method which
      approximates the level yield method.  Deferred fees and costs relating
      to loans which are sold are included in the basis of the loans for
      purposes of determining gain or loss.

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




      Allowance for Possible Loan Losses


      The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level
      considered adequate to provide for potential losses.  The provision for
      possible loan losses is based on periodic analysis of the loans held for
      portfolio and sale, considering, among other factors, current economic
      conditions, loan portfolio composition, past loan loss experience,
      independent appraisals, loan collateral, and payment experience.  In
      addition to the allowance for estimated losses on identified problem
      loans, an overall unallocated allowance is established to provide for
      unidentified credit losses which are inherent in the portfolio.  As
      adjustments become necessary, they are reflected in the results of
      operations in the periods in which they become known.


      Office Properties, Furniture and Equipment


      As discussed in Note 2, effective December 31, 1994, the Board of
      Directors of BancTEXAS elected to implement a quasi-reorganization
      pursuant to which the assets and liabilities of BancTEXAS have been
      adjusted to their fair values.  As a result of this, the carrying values
      of the office properties were reduced by $4,363,000. Prior to December
      31, 1994, office properties, furniture and equipment were stated at
      cost, in accordance with applicable requirements.


      Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
      estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Amortization of leasehold
      improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the
      shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease.
      Office properties and improvements are depreciated over 40 years.
      Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over two to ten years.
      Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life of the office
      properties and equipment are charged to expense as incurred.


      Foreclosed Property


      Foreclosed property, consisting of real estate acquired through
      foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and other repossessed assets,
      is stated at the lower of fair value less applicable selling costs or
      cost at the time the property is acquired.  The excess of cost over fair
      value of the property at the date of acquisition is charged to the
      allowance for possible loan losses.  Declines in the fair value below
      cost are recognized as a valuation allowance.  If the fair value
      subsequently increases above its carrying value, the valuation allowance
      is reduced, but not below zero.  Increases or decreases in the valuation
      allowance are charged or credited to operations.


      The valuation of foreclosed property is subjective in nature and may be
      adjusted in the future because of changes in economic conditions or by
      review by regulatory examiners.


      Gains on sales of foreclosed properties are recognized when the title
      has passed to the purchaser, minimum down payment requirements have been
      met, the terms of any notes received by BancTEXAS satisfy continuing
      payment requirements, and BancTEXAS is relieved of any requirement for
      continued involvement in the properties.  Losses on sales are recognized
      as incurred.

      Income Taxes


      BancTEXAS and all of its subsidiaries, except CSWI International Finance
      N.V. (CSWI), join in filing consolidated Federal income tax returns.
      Each subsidiary pays its allocation of federal income taxes to
      BancTEXAS, or receives payment from BancTEXAS to the extent that tax
      benefits are realized.  Separate state franchise tax returns are filed
      in Texas, Delaware and Nevada for the appropriate entities.


      In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
      SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).  SFAS 109
      requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income
      taxes, pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 (APB 11),
      to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under
      the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
      recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
      between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
      liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carry-
      forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
      enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
      which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
      settled.


      Effective January 1, 1993, BancTEXAS adopted SFAS 109.  There was no
      one-time cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes
      at that date, because a valuation reserve was established in an amount
      equal to the net deferred tax asset.  However, as a result of the
      private placement of Class B common stock during the year ended December
      31, 1994 described in Note 2, the probability of the realization of the
      net deferred tax assets was substantially increased.  Therefore, a
      credit for income taxes of $9,461,000 was recorded for the year ended
      December 31, 1994.  See Note 11.


      Pursuant to the deferred method under APB 11, which was applied in 1992
      and prior years, deferred income taxes are recognized for income and
      expense items that are reported in different years for financial
      reporting purposes and income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable
      for the year of the calculation.  Under the deferred method, deferred
      taxes are not adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates.


      Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase


      BancTEXAS enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase
      at a specified future date.  Such repurchase agreements are considered
      financing agreements and, accordingly, the obligation to repurchase
      assets sold is reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance
      sheets.  Repurchase agreements are collateralized by debt and
      mortgage-backed securities.


      Financial Instruments


      A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership
      interest in an entity, or a contract that conveys or imposes on an
      entity the contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver
      cash or another financial instrument.


      During 1994, the FASB issued SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure About Derivative
      Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS
      119).  SFAS 119 requires disclosures about the amounts, nature, and
      terms of derivative financial instruments that are

                                    33
 36

                 BANCTEXAS GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



      not subject to SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information About Financial
      Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with
      Concentrations of Credit Risk" because they do not result in
      off-balance-sheet risk of accounting loss.  SFAS 119 is effective for
      financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15,
      1994.  The Company implemented SFAS 119 on December 31, 1994, which
      resulted in no effect on the consolidated financial statements other
      than the additional disclosure requirements presented in Note 19.


      Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk


      BancTEXAS uses financial instruments to reduce the interest rate risk
      arising from its financial assets and liabilities.  These instruments
      involve, in varying degrees, elements of interest rate risk and credit
      risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance
      sheets.  "Interest rate risk" is defined as the possibility that
      interest rates may move unfavorably from the perspective of the Company.
      The risk that a counterparty to an agreement entered into by the Company
      may default is defined as "credit risk".  These financial instruments
      include interest rate cap agreements and interest rate futures
      contracts.


      BancTEXAS is party to commitments to extend credit and commercial and
      standby letters of credit in the normal course of business to meet the
      financing needs of its customers.  These commitments involve elements of
      interest rate and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
      consolidated balance sheets.


      Interest Rate Cap Agreements


      The Company enters into interest rate cap agreements to manage interest
      rate risk.  The purpose of this is to reduce the future impact of
      unfavorable interest rate fluctuations on certain of the Company's
      interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate cap agreements are accounted
      for on an accrual basis with the net interest differential being
      recognized as an adjustment to interest expense of the related
      liability.  Premiums and fees paid upon the purchase of interest rate
      cap agreements are amortized to interest expense over the life of the
      agreements using the interest method.  In the event of early termination
      of an interest rate cap agreement, the net proceeds received or paid are
      deferred and amortized over the shorter of the remaining contract life
      or the maturity of the related liability.  If however, the amount of the
      underlying hedged liability is repaid, then the gain or loss on the
      agreement is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of
      operations.  The unamortized premiums and fees paid are included in
      other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


      Interest Rate Futures Contracts


      Interest rate futures contracts are utilized to manage the interest rate
      risk of the available-for-sale securities portfolio.  Gains and losses
      on interest rate futures, which qualify as hedges, are deferred.
      Amortization of the net deferred gains or losses is applied to the
      interest income of the available-for-sale securities portfolio using the
      straight-line method. The net deferred gains and losses are applied to the
      carrying value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio as part of
      the mark to market valuation.  In the event the hedged assets are sold,
      the related gain or loss of the interest rate futures contract is
      immediately recognized in the statement of operations.

      Regulatory Environment


      Regulatory requirements for bank capital changed on December 31, 1990
      to a risk-based measurement system that also includes leverage
      requirements.  Overall, the risk-based capital guidelines primarily
      define the components of capital, categorize assets into different risk
      classes and include certain off-balance sheet items in the calculation
      of capital requirements.  At December 31, 1994, the Bank was in
      compliance with all regulatory capital requirements.


      On December 9, 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
      Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) became law.  FDICIA substantially
      revises bank regulatory, deposit insurance and funding provisions of the
      Financial Deposit Insurance Act and makes revisions to several other
      banking statutes.  Based generally on capital ratios, FDICIA classifies
      financial institutions into five categories.  At December 31, 1994, the
      Bank's capital ratios exceeded those levels necessary to be considered
      in the "adequately capitalized" category.


      Earnings (Loss) Per Share


      Earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss),
      by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock
      equivalents outstanding.


      Reclassifications


      Certain 1993 and 1992 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
      1994 presentation.

(2)   FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING


      On August 31, 1994, BancTEXAS issued and sold for $30 million in a
      private placement 37,500,000 shares of Class B common stock (the "Class
      B Stock") to First Banks, Inc. (First Banks), a multi-bank holding
      company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.  The Class B Stock is
      generally equivalent to the Company's other class of common stock
      (the "Common Stock"), except that it is not registered or transferable by
      First Banks, other than to an affiliated entity, and has dividend rights
      which are junior to those of the Company's Common Stock.  From the net
      proceeds of this private placement, after issuance expenses of $377,000,
      $17 million was contributed to the capital of the Bank.  The remainder
      is held by BancTEXAS for future use in connection with acquisitions or
      other corporate purposes.  As a result of this transaction, First Banks
      owned 64.6% of the total outstanding voting stock as of December 31,
      1994.


      Recognizing the substantial transition which the Company had experienced
      in recent years, culminating in the sale of the Class B Stock, the Board
      of Directors elected to implement a quasi-reorganization, effective
      December 31, 1994.  This resulted in restating the carrying values of
      assets and liabilities to their current fair values, and eliminating the
      deficit in retained earnings which had accumulated over many years.  The
      principal adjustments necessary to revalue the balance sheet were the
      reduction in the value of office properties by $4,363,000 and an
      increase in deferred tax assets of $1,222,000.  These adjustments
      resulted in a net reduction of consolidated stockholders' equity, but
      did not affect the results of operations or cash flow for the year ended
      December 31, 1994.  At the same time, the accumulated deficit in
      retained earnings of $259,117,000 and the net fair value adjustment for
      securities available-for-sale of $1,085,000 were eliminated by a
      reduction in capital surplus.  Management determined that in view of the
      many changes which had occurred within the Company, the factors which
      had given rise to the losses which had been accumulated had

                                    35

                 BANCTEXAS GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




      been eliminated.  Consequently, the quasi-reorganization established a
      more appropriate basis upon which to evaluate the financial position and
      results of operations of BancTEXAS in the future.

(3)   MERGER WITH FIRST BANK/LAS COLINAS


      On December 31, 1992, the Bank acquired First Bank/Las Colinas in a
      transaction which was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Under
      the pooling of interests method of accounting, the historical basis of
      the assets and liabilities of BancTEXAS and First Bank/Las Colinas are
      combined and carried forward at their previously recorded amounts.
      Accordingly, the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
      December 31, 1992 includes the results of operations of First Bank/Las
      Colinas.  There were no intercompany transactions between the companies
      at the time of the merger.  In the merger, BancTEXAS issued 2.2 million
      shares of stock to the shareholders of First Bank/Las Colinas.

(4)   INVESTMENT SECURITIES


      During 1994, management reviewed its portfolio of mortgage-backed
      securities, and the methods which it was employing to fund those
      securities, in the context of the rapidly increasing interest rate
      environment which existed most of the year.  As a result of this review,
      it determined that its original intent to hold the majority of these
      securities to maturity was no longer appropriate.  Consequently, in
      September 1994, the Company reclassified all the remaining securities
      within its held-to-maturity portfolio as available-for-sale, and sold an
      aggregate of $113,852,000 of these securities, resulting in a realized
      loss of $7,055,000.  The proceeds from this sale were primarily used to
      reduce securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other
      short-term borrowings.  As part of the financial restructuring discussed
      in Note 2, the carrying values of the investment portfolio were restated
      to current fair values at December 31, 1994.  This adjustment eliminated
      the Company's net fair value adjustment for securities
      available-for-sale of $1,085,000.  As of December 31, 1994, all of the
      securities in the investment portfolio were classified as
      available-for-sale.


      The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized
      holding losses and estimated fair values of investments securities at
      December 31, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:


                                                                              Gross          Gross

      due 90 days or more on which interest is still being accrued and loans
      restructured with respect to principal or interest because of the
      financial deterioration of the borrower.  Interest on nonaccrual loans,
      which would have been recorded under the original terms of the loans was

      In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
      Impairment of a Loan "(SFAS 114).  SFAS 114 was amended by SFAS 118.
      SFAS 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based upon the present
      value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
      interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if the
      loan is collateral dependent.  A loan is impaired when, based on current
      information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
      collect all amounts due according to the loan's contractual terms.
      BancTEXAS was required to adopt SFAS 114, as amended by SFAS 118,
      effective January 1, 1995.  The adoption did not have a material impact
      on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
      operations.

(6)   OFFICE PROPERTIES, FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT

      As part of the financial restructuring discussed in Note 2, effective
      December 31, 1994, carrying values of the Company's office properties,
      furniture and equipment were adjusted to their current fair values and
      the balance of accumulated depreciation was eliminated.  As a result of
      this procedure, total office properties, net of accumulated
      depreciation, were reduced by an aggregate of $4,363,000.


      Office properties, furniture and equipment were comprised of the
      following at December 31:

(8)   SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

      BancTEXAS satisfies its short-term borrowing requirements through the
      use of Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
      agreements generally on a daily basis.  Repurchase agreements are
      borrowings which have a maturity of less than a year.  Investment
      securities and interest-bearing deposits with FHLB of $17.4 million and
      $24.5 million, respectively, are pledged as collateral for these short-
      term borrowings. Other short-term borrowings include notes payable
      to the Federal Reserve Bank for Treasury, Tax and Loan Deposits, and
      various other borrowings that have maturities of less than one year.


      Information relating to these short-term borrowings for the years ended
      December 31 is provided below:

      Mortgage-backed securities of $22.6 million are pledged as collateral
      for these advances.

(10)  LONG-TERM DEBT

      At December 31, 1994 and 1993, CSWI, a wholly owned subsidiary of
      BancTEXAS, had $1,054,000 of 9% convertible subordinated debentures due
      May 15, 1996.  These debentures are guaranteed by BancTEXAS and are
      convertible into common stock of BancTEXAS at $406.25 per share.  At
      December 31, 1994, BancTEXAS had reserved 2,594 shares of its common
      stock for conversion of these debentures.

(11)  INCOME TAXES

      As discussed in Note 1, BancTEXAS adopted SFAS 109 effective January 1,
      1993.  There was no one-time cumulative effect of this change in
      accounting for income taxes because a valuation reserve was established
      in an amount equal to the net deferred tax asset.


      Total income tax credits for the year ended December 31, 1994 were
      allocated $9,461,000 to operations, $535,000 to stockholders' equity for
      the tax effect of unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale
      securities and $1,222,000 to the tax effect of the quasi-reorganization.

      Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance
      for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1994, will be credited
      directly to capital surplus under the terms of the quasi-reorganization
      described in Note 2 and the provisions of SFAS 109.

      With the completion of the sale of the Class B common stock described in
      Note 2, the Internal Revenue Code provides that the net operating loss
      carryforwards generated prior to the transaction are subject to an
      annual limitation for all subsequent tax years.  This annual limitation
      is $1,362,000.  The amount of the limitation is equal to the total value
      of BancTEXAS stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
      acquisition multiplied by the federal long-term tax-exempt rate at the
      time.  If taxable income for a post-transaction year does not equal or
      exceed the annual limitation, the unused limitation is carried forward
      to increase the limitation amount for the succeeding years until the
      excess limitation is utilized.  This does not affect the original
      expiration dates of the net operating loss.  The order in which the
      attributes can be utilized is specified in the Internal Revenue Code.

      Subsequent to the completion of the private placement of Class B common
      stock, a detailed analysis of the net operating loss and tax credit
      carryforwards was performed.  A large portion of the net operating
      losses and all of the tax credit carryforwards will expire prior to
      their utilization, and were therefore removed from the analysis.  This
      is reflected in the reduction in the valuation allowance.  After giving
      effect to the applicable limitations in the Internal Revenue Code, for
      federal income tax purposes, BancTEXAS had net operating loss

      carryforwards of approximately $24,519,000 available to offset future
      taxable income.  These net operating loss carryforwards expire as
      follows (dollars expressed in thousands):

      The remaining net deferred tax assets were reevaluated to determine
      whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be
      recognized in the future.  With the completion of the private placement
      of Class B common stock and the receipt of the resulting cash proceeds
      of $30 million, BancTEXAS will be capable of pursuing acquisitions,
      expanding its services and reducing its reliance on borrowed funds.
      BancTEXAS and First Banks have formulated a plan to further reduce
      operating costs and expand into other revenue generating areas.  First
      Banks will be offering to provide certain services at substantially
      reduced costs such as data processing, item processing, loan servicing,
      commercial non-credit services, accounting and tax assistance and
      various insurance programs.  By utilizing the services and personnel
      available from First Banks, implementing various other cost reduction
      plans, and pursuing its acquisition objectives, BancTEXAS' management
      believes it is more likely than not that its income will be increased
      to a level that permits utilization of all or a substantial portion of
      net deferred tax assets including NOL carryforwards.  Taking all
      positive and negative criteria into consideration, it was determined
      that the allowance established should be reduced to $2,944,000.

(12)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

      Pension Plan

      BancTEXAS has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
      substantially all officers and employees.  Under the plan, retirement
      benefits are computed primarily based on the years of service and the
      highest five-year average salary during the last ten years of service.
      It is the policy of BancTEXAS to fund the net periodic pension cost,
      but not less than the minimum required nor greater than the maximum
      deductible contribution determined in accordance with applicable income
      tax regulations.  During 1994, BancTEXAS discontinued the accumulation
      of benefits under the plan. As a result of this change, total expense
      with respect to the defined benefit pension plan was $1,064,000 for the
      year ended December 31, 1994.  Contributions to the plan were $512,000,
      $268,000 and $40,000 for the plan years 1994, 1993 and 1992,
      respectively.

      Employees 401(k) Plan

      BancTEXAS has a 401(k) Plan which constitutes a qualified cash or
      deferred profit sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal
      Revenue Code of 1986.  The 401(k) Plan is administered by a committee
      appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The assets of the
      401(k) Plan are held and managed under a trust agreement with the trust
      department of an unaffiliated bank.

      Prior to the year ended December 31, 1994, BancTEXAS contributed between
      ten and twenty percent of the amount of employee contributions with a
      maximum contribution of five

      percent of each employee's salary.  In connection with the
      discontinuation of benefits accumulation in the defined benefit pension
      plan in 1994 discussed above, the Company increased its matching
      contribution for the 401(k) Plan to fifty percent of employee
      contributions, retaining the maximum contribution of five percent of
      each employee's salary.  Contributions by participating employees
      pursuant to the terms of the 401(k) Plan are automatically fully vested
      and nonforfeitable.  Funds contributed to the 401(k) Plan by the Company
      for the account of a participating employee become vested and
      nonforfeitable after the employee has completed five years of service
      with BancTEXAS.  The Company accrued $25,000, $24,000 and $24,000 for
      contribution to the 401(k) Plan for the years ended December 31, 1994,
      1993 and 1992, respectively.

      Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions


      BancTEXAS makes certain health care and life insurance benefits
      available for substantially all of its retired employees, a portion of
      the cost of which is paid by the Company.  Effective January 1, 1993,
      BancTEXAS adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
      Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106).  SFAS 106
      required that the estimated cost of such postretirement benefits be
      accrued as an expense during the period of the employees active service
      to the Company.  BancTEXAS previously expensed the cost of these
      benefits as payments were made.  For the year ended December 31, 1993,
      BancTEXAS elected to recognize the cumulative effect of this change in
      accounting over a period of twenty years, as permitted by SFAS 106.  In
      1993, BancTEXAS recognized $120,000 as an expense for postretirement
      health care and life insurance benefits.  During 1994, BancTEXAS
      reevaluated the cost of this plan and changed it to provide Company
      contributions for coverage only to those individuals receiving benefits
      on that date.  Employees retiring after that date would be allowed to
      purchase coverage, but must pay the entire cost associated with such
      coverage.  As a result of this change, the unfunded accumulated
      postretirement benefit obligations were reduced from approximately
      $1,622,000 at December 31, 1993 to $898,000 at the date of the change.
      This amount was then accrued as an expense.  The following table sets
      forth the postretirement benefit plan's accumulated obligation at
      December 31, 1994 and 1993:

      The health care cost trend rate assumed in measuring the accumulated
      postretirement benefit obligation as of January 1, 1994 was 12%
      decreasing linearly each successive year until it reaches 5.5% in 2010,
      after which it was assumed to remain constant.  A one percent increase
      in the assumption of health care cost trend rate for each year would
      increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of January
      1, 1994 and net postretirement health care cost by approximately 9%.
      The assumed discount rate used in determining the accumulated
      postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5% for 1994 and 7% for 1993.

(13)  DIRECTOR BENEFIT PLANS


      Stock Bonus Plan


      The 1993 Directors' Stock Bonus Plan provides for annual grants of
      Company common stock to the non-employee directors of BancTEXAS.
      Directors compensation of $67,000 annually was recorded relating to this
      plan for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.  These amounts
      represented the market values of the 37,500 shares granted annually
      under the Stock Bonus Plan as of the date of each grant.

      The plan will be self-operative, and the timing, amounts, recipients and
      terms of individual grants will be determined automatically.  On July 1
      of each year, each non-employee director will automatically receive a
      grant of 7,500 shares of common stock.  Future grants under the plan
      would apply equally to current directors and to any individual who
      becomes a director of BancTEXAS in the future.  The maximum number of
      plan shares that may be issued shall not exceed 250,000 shares.  The
      plan will expire on July 1, 2001.

      Directors' Retirement Plan

      BancTEXAS adopted a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
      covering non-employee directors of the holding company in 1993.  Under
      the plan, retirement benefits are primarily a function of years of
      service as a director.  During 1994, coverage under the plan was
      extended to include non-employee directors of the Bank.

      Loan Commitments

      The Company is a party to commitments to extend credit and commercial and
      standby letters of credit in the normal course of business to meet the
      financing needs of its customers.  These instruments involve, to varying
      degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the
      amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.  The interest rate
      risk associated with these credit commitments relate primarily to the
      commitments to originate fixed-rate loans.  The credit risk amounts are
      equal to the contractual amounts, assuming that the amounts are fully
      advanced and that, in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 105,
      "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance
      Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk",
      collateral or other security is of no value.  BancTEXAS uses the same
      credit policies in granting commitments and conditional obligations as it
      does for on-balance sheet items.

      Credit card and other loan commitments are agreements to lend to a
      customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established
      in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or
      other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many
      of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
      total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
      requirements.  Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a
      case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
      necessary upon extension of credit, is based on credit evaluation of the
      customer.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
      inventory, property, plant, equipment, income-producing commercial
      properties and single family residential properties.  Collateral is
      generally required except for consumer credit card commitments.

      Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank
      to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The
      letters of credit are primarily issued to support private borrowing
      arrangements and commercial transactions.  Most letters of credit extend
      for less than one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of
      credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
      facilities to customers.  The Bank holds marketable securities,
      certificates of deposit, inventory or other assets as collateral
      supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary as
      the commitments are issued.  Collateral values generally exceed the
      amounts advanced under the commitments.

(15)  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

      BancTEXAS' primary market areas are the regions around Houston, Dallas
      and Ft. Worth, Texas.  At December 31, 1994, approximately 93% of the
      total loan portfolio, and 94% of the commercial, financial and
      agricultural loan portfolio, were to borrowers within this region.  In
      the past, these areas have been heavily influenced by the energy sector
      of the economy, particularly the oil and gas industry.  Problems which
      surfaced in this area in recent years have tended to cause the economic
      base to broaden, contributing to a more stable lending environment.  The
      Company does not have any loans directly related to the energy segment
      of the economy.

      Indirect automobile lending constituted the only significant
      concentration of credit risk.  Financial instruments related to indirect
      automobile financing, including loans and commitments, comprised
      approximately 82% of such instruments, all of which was
      consumer-related.

      In general, BancTEXAS is a secured lender.  At December 31, 1994,
      approximately 98% of the loan portfolio was secured.  Collateral is
      required in accordance with the normal credit evaluation process based
      upon the creditworthiness of the customer and the credit risk associated
      with the particular transaction.

(16)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


      Stock Options


      On April 19, 1990, the Board of Directors of BancTEXAS adopted the 1990
      Stock Option Plan (1990 Plan).  Pursuant to the 1990 Plan, six directors
      (none of whom are officers or employees of BancTEXAS or its
      subsidiaries) were each granted a stock option to acquire 100,000 shares
      and 17 officers of BancTEXAS and its subsidiaries, who were selected by
      the Board of Directors, were granted stock options to acquire, in the
      aggregate, 1,860,000 shares.  All of these options, except one covering
      25,000 shares at 37.5 cents per share, were issued with a purchase price
      of 25 cents per share which was 100% of the fair market value of the
      common stock on the date the options were granted.  The 1990 Plan
      currently provides that no more than 3,000,000 shares of common stock
      will be available for stock options.  One-fourth of each stock option
      becomes exercisable at the date of the grant and at each anniversary
      date of the grant.  The options expire ten years from the date of the
      grant.  The 1990 Plan was ratified by BancTEXAS' stockholders at the
      1991 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.


      At December 31, 1994, there were 552,500 shares available for future
      stock options and 1,472,000 shares of common stock reserved for the
      exercise of outstanding options.  Transactions relating to the 1990 Plan
      for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

                                                1994                       1993                       1992

      Warrants

      As part of the 1987 restructuring of BancTEXAS, warrants to purchase
      common stock were issued to certain commercial banks which were then its
      senior lenders and to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
      The senior lenders received warrants to purchase 984,943 shares of
      common stock and the FDIC received warrants to purchase 1,969,885 shares
      of common stock both at an exercise price of $5.41 per share.  At the
      date of issuance, the warrants were considered to have nominal fair
      market value, if any.  Thus, for financial reporting purposes, no value
      was assigned to these warrants.  These warrants have antidilution
      protection and substantial registration rights and will expire twenty
      years after issuance.  At December 31, 1994, no common stock has been
      issued from the exercise of these warrants.

      Pursuant to the FDIC's Order dated October 16, 1990, BancTEXAS amended
      and restated the FDIC warrants.  On November 30, 1990, the FDIC and
      BancTEXAS executed an Agreement Concerning Warrants.  Pursuant to this
      agreement, BancTEXAS issued warrants to the FDIC, dated November 30,
      1990, granting the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,970,033
      shares of BancTEXAS' common stock at a price of five cents per share in
      exchange for those granted under the Company's 1987 restructuring.  The
      1987 FDIC

      warrants were canceled.  The 1990 warrants cannot be exercised before
      October 16, 1995 and will expire, if not previously exercised, on July
      17, 2007.  The 1990 warrants are protected by antidilution provisions
      relating both to number of shares and the exercise price.  BancTEXAS has
      reserved 2,954,976 shares of its common stock, equal to the aggregate
      amount of all warrants outstanding.

      Distribution of Earnings of Subsidiaries

      The distribution of earnings of the Bank has been restricted by various
      state and federal regulations, as well as the accumulated deficit which
      was eliminated by the quasi-reorganization described in Note 2.  Because
      of these limitations, the Bank has been precluded from the payment of
      any dividends in the past.  As a result of the capital contributed to
      the Bank following the private placement of Class B common stock and the
      quasi-reorganization described in Note 2, the Bank may be allowed to
      pay dividends in the future from any earnings accumulated after January
      1, 1995, subject to applicable regulatory limitations.

(17)  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

      Following the private placement of Class B common stock described in
      Note 2, BancTEXAS began purchasing certain services and supplies from or
      through its majority shareholder, First Banks.  During the remaining
      four months of 1994 this was primarily limited to the purchase of
      insurance policies, office supplies and other commonly-used banking
      products which could be acquired more economically than BancTEXAS had
      previously been able to realize separately.  The amount of these
      purchases were not material to the consolidated financial position or
      results of operations of BancTEXAS for the year ended December 31, 1994.

      As more fully described in Note 4, BancTEXAS sold an aggregate of
      $113,852,000 in investment securities in September 1994, of which
      $60,091,000 were sold to a subsidiary of First Banks at fair value.

      In December 1994, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved a data
      processing agreement and a management fee agreement with First Banks.
      Under the data processing agreement, a subsidiary of First Banks will
      provide data processing and various related services to BancTEXAS
      beginning in February 1995.  The proposed fees for such services are
      significantly lower than BancTEXAS is currently paying its
      non-affiliated vendors.  The management fee agreement provides that
      BancTEXAS will compensate First Banks on an hourly basis for its use of
      personnel for various functions including internal auditing, loan
      review, income tax preparation and assistance, accounting,
      asset/liability and investment services, loan servicing and other
      management and administrative services.  Hourly rates for such services
      compare favorably with those for similar services from unrelated
      sources, as well as the internal costs of BancTEXAS personnel which were
      used previously, and it is estimated that the aggregate cost for the
      services will be significantly more economical than those previously
      incurred by BancTEXAS separately.  Fees paid under these agreements
      during 1994 were $14,000.

      Outside of normal customer relationships, no directors, executive
      officers or shareholders holding over 5% of BancTEXAS' voting stock, and
      no corporations or firms with which such persons or entities are
      associated, currently maintain or have maintained, since January 1,
      1994, any significant business or personal relationships with BancTEXAS
      or its subsidiaries, other than that which arises by virtue of such
      position or ownership interest in BancTEXAS, except as described above.

(18)  LITIGATION

      In 1993, BancTEXAS settled a class action lawsuit relating to a private
      placement of common stock which it had completed in 1984.  As a result
      of this settlement, the Company issued to the plaintiffs 400,000 shares
      of its common stock and conveyed other consideration having a cost to
      the Company of approximately $52,000.  The total cost of this
      settlement, $592,000, was reflected as an expense for the year ended
      December 31, 1993.


      There are several other claims and legal actions pending against
      BancTEXAS and/or the Bank with regard to matters arising out of the
      conduct of their businesses.  It is the opinion of management, in
      consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate liability, if any,
      resulting from such claims and legal actions will not materially affect
      the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of BancTEXAS
      or the Bank.

(19)  INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
      WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

      BancTEXAS' objective regarding interest rate risk management is to
      position the Company such that changes in interest rates do not have a
      material adverse impact upon the net market value and net interest
      income of BancTEXAS.  To assist in achieving that objective, BancTEXAS
      uses a combination of derivative financial instruments, including
      interest rate cap agreements and interest rate futures contracts.

      To measure the impact from interest rate changes, BancTEXAS recalculates
      its net market value and net interest income on a proforma basis over a
      one year horizon assuming instantaneous, permanent parallel shifts in
      the yield curve, with varying amounts of increases and decreases in
      rates.  Larger increases or decreases in the Company's net market value
      and net interest income as a result of these assumed interest rate
      changes indicate greater levels of interest rate sensitivity than do
      smaller increases or decreases.  BancTEXAS endeavors to maintain a
      position whereby the proforma effect on the net market value and net
      interest income would not exceed 4.0% and 10.0% for an assumed 50 and
      100 basis point increase or decrease in general interest rates,
      respectively.


      Derivative financial instruments held by BancTEXAS for purposes of
      managing interest rate risk are summarized as follows:


                                                         December 31,

      The notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent
      amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore are not a measure of the
      Company's credit exposure through its use of derivative financial
      instruments.  The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the
      notional amounts and the other terms of the derivatives.

                        Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


      BancTEXAS is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by
      counterparties to derivative financial instruments but does not expect
      the failure of any counterparties in meeting their obligations.  Where
      appropriate, master netting agreements are arranged or collateral is
      obtained in the form of cash or rights to securities.  In addition,
      BancTEXAS deals only with highly rated counterparties.  The credit
      exposure of derivative financial instruments is the positive fair value
      of the instruments, net of the fair value of collateral received.

      Interest rate futures contracts are commitments to either purchase or
      sell designated financial instruments at a future date for a specified
      price and may be settled in cash or through delivery of such financial
      instruments.  Changes in the contract values are settled daily.  Futures
      contracts have little credit risk because futures exchanges are the
      counterparties.  BancTEXAS sells interest rate futures contracts to hedge
      the interest rate risk of its available-for-sale securities portfolio.
      The Company has sold futures on Eurodollar deposits because their
      liquidity is more consistent with the objectives of the
      available-for-sale securities portfolio.  The contracts sold, which have
      expiration dates from March 1995 to December 1996, were selected to
      approximate the effective maturity of the available-for-sale securities
      portfolio.  At December 31, 1994, the unamortized balance of net deferred
      gains on interest rate futures contracts of $886,000 was applied to the
      carrying value of the securities as part of the adjustment to current
      fair values.  There were no interest rate futures contracts outstanding
      during 1993 and 1992.

      BancTEXAS purchased an interest rate cap agreement to limit the interest
      expense associated with certain of its interest-bearing liabilities.  In
      exchange for an initial fee, the interest rate cap agreement entitles
      BancTEXAS to receive interest payments when a specified index rate
      exceeds a predetermined rate.  The agreement outstanding at December 31,
      1994 effectively limits the interest rate to 5.0% on $10 million of
      interest-bearing liabilities from October 15, 1997 to May 15, 2000.  At
      December 31, 1994 and 1993, the unamortized costs were $577,000 and
      $352,000, respectively, and were included in other assets.  There are no
      amounts receivable under the agreement.

      During late 1994, BancTEXAS increased its use of derivative financial
      instruments.  This increased use of derivative financial instruments was
      necessary to reduce the overall interest rate risk to within the newly
      prescribed net market value and net interest income exposure limits as
      established by BancTEXAS' Board of Directors.  The prescribed limits were
      determined after a comprehensive review and evaluation of BancTEXAS'
      exposure to interest rate risk.  The use of derivative financial
      instruments is strictly limited to reducing the interest rate risk that
      is inherent in the different maturity and repricing characteristics of
      the lending and deposit-taking activities.  BancTEXAS will continue to
      utilize a combination of on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments
      to manage interest rate sensitivity to within the prescribed limits.

(20)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


      The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
      instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
      "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments."  The estimated
      fair value amounts have been determined by BancTEXAS using available
      market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However,

      the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
      are not necessarily indicative of the amounts BancTEXAS could realize in

      The fair value of investment securities is based on prices obtained from
      independent pricing services.  The fair value of loans, time deposits,
      and other financial instruments is estimated based on present values of
      expected cash flows from amortization and historical prepayment
      experience using applicable risk-adjusted spreads to the U.S. Treasury
      curve for current market rates offered for instruments with similar
      terms to approximate current entry-value interest rates applicable to
      each category of such financial instruments.

      Cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, demand and
      savings deposits, accrued interest payable, and Federal funds purchased
      and securities sold under agreement to repurchase are valued at book
      value which approximates fair value.  This valuation is due to the fact
      that the amounts due or payable consist of maturities less than 30 days
      or on demand.  The fair value for interest rate futures contracts are
      based upon quoted market prices. The fair value of these contracts has
      been reflected in the consolidated balance sheet in the carrying value
      of the securities available-for-sale portfolio as part of the mark to
      market valuation. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement is
      estimated by comparing the contractual rates to market rates quoted on
      new agreements with similar creditworthiness. BancTEXAS' unfunded
      commitments consists primarily of variable rate interim construction
      commitments and $2.3 million of unfunded credit card commitments.
      Accordingly, the unfunded commitments estimated fair value is
      immaterial.

      The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent
      information available to management as of December 31, 1994 and 1993.
      Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly
      affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been
      comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements
      since the presentation date and, therefore, current estimates of fair
      value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
