                      BancTEXAS GROUP INC.
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



  (1)  Basis of Presentation

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements of
BancTEXAS Group Inc. (BancTEXAS or Company) are unaudited and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements contained in the 1994 annual report on Form 10K. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation,
have been included.  Operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1995.

       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.

       Certain reclassifications of 1994 amounts have been made
to conform with the 1995 presentation.


  (2)  Loans and Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

       In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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.

       The Company adopted SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 effective for
the year beginning January 1, 1995.  As a result of applying SFAS
114, as amended by SFAS 118, certain impaired loans subject to
the Statements are reported at the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate, or at the loan's observable market price, if one exists, or
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent.

       SFAS 118 amends SFAS 114 to allow a creditor to use
existing methods for recognizing interest on an impaired loan.
The Company has elected to continue to use its existing methods
for recognizing interest on impaired loans.  The Company
continues to apply all payments received to the outstanding
balance of the impaired loan until the collection of the
outstanding balance is no longer in doubt.  When this occurs,
interest payments are recorded as interest income.  When the
condition of the loan improves sufficiently, the accrual of
interest is resumed.

       Impaired loans, consisting of certain nonaccrual loans,
were $323,000 at June 30, 1995 and averaged $343,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.

       The initial application of SFAS 114 and 118 did not have
a material effect on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

(3)    Transactions with Related Party

       Following the private placement of Class B common stock
with First Banks, Inc. (First Banks), BancTEXAS began
purchasing certain services and supplies from or through its
majority shareholder, First Banks.  This included the purchase
of insurance policies, office supplies and other commonly-used
banking products which could be acquired more economically than
had previously been possible for BancTEXAS separately.  The
amount of these purchases was not material to the consolidated
financial position or results of operations of BancTEXAS for
the six months ended June 30, 1995.

       In December 1994, the Board of Directors of BankTEXAS
N.A. (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of BancTEXAS,
approved a data processing agreement and a management fee
agreement with First Banks.  Under the data processing
agreement, a subsidiary of First Banks began providing data
processing and various related services to the Bank beginning
in February 1995.  The fees for such services are significantly
less than the Bank was paying to its non-affiliated vendors.
The management fee agreement provides that the Bank 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 the
Bank personnel which were used previously, and it is estimated
the aggregate cost for the services will be significantly more
economical than those previously incurred by the Bank
separately.  Fees paid under these agreements were $200,600 and
$416,600 for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1995.

Item 2:        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
               Condition and Results of Operations

                              General

          BancTEXAS is a registered bank holding company,
incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Houston, Texas.  At
June 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $332 million in
total assets; $215 million in total loans, net of unearned
discount; $243 million in total deposits; and $38 million in
total stockholders' equity.  The Company operates through its
subsidiary bank, BankTEXAS N.A. (the Bank).

          Through the Bank, the Company offers a broad range of
commercial and personal banking services including certificate of
deposit accounts, individual retirement and other time deposit
accounts, checking and other demand deposit accounts, interest
checking accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts.
Loans include commercial, financial, agricultural, real estate
construction and development, residential real estate and
consumer and installment loans.  Other financial services include
credit-related insurance, automatic teller machines and safe
deposit boxes.

                       Financial Condition

          The Company's total assets were $331.81 million and
$331.79 million at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively.  The primary fluctuations from December 31, 1994
were increases in investment securities and loans, net of
unearned discount, of $20.0 million and  $12.1 million,
respectively, and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of
$35.5 million.

                       Results of Operations
Net Income

     Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was
$48,000 in comparison to $43,000 for the same period in 1994.
Net income for the six months ended  June 30, 1995 was $440,000
compared to a net loss of $147,000 for the same period in 1994.
The improved operating results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 are more fully described below.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income was $3.0 million, or 4.08% of average
interest earning assets, for the three months ended June 30,
1995, compared to $2.75 million, or 3.11% for the same period in
1994. Net interest income was $6.0 million, or 4.13% of average
interest earning assets, for the six months ended June 30, 1995
in comparison to $5.6 million, or 3.26% for the same period in
1994. The increase in net interest income is primarily
attributable to the additional capital of $30 million from the
sale of Class B common stock to First Banks on August 31, 1994.
The interest income earned from the use of the additional capital
was substantially offset by a reduction of net interest income
resulting from a decrease in the average earning assets of
approximately $59.2 million and $58.0 million for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, in
comparison to the same periods in 1994. The decrease in average
earning assets for 1995 in comparison to 1994 were primarily
attributable to sales of investment securities which occurred in
the fourth quarter of 1994.



                                    -8-

Provision for Possible Loan Losses

     The provision for possible loan losses was $650,000 and $1.1
million for the three and six months ended  June 30, 1995,
respectively, in comparison to $75,000 and $150,000 for the same
periods in 1994. This compares to net loan charge-offs of $1.2
million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 1995, respectively, and $215,000 and $318,000 for the same
periods in 1994.

     The increase in the provision for possible loan losses is
attributable to the increased level of loan charge-offs within
the automobile loan portfolio and management's evaluation of the
quality of the loans in the portfolio.  The increased level of
loan charge-offs is partly due to a change in the practice and
timing of recording such charge-offs.  Previously, the Company
charged-off the remaining balance of a loan after reducing that
amount by the estimated value of the collateral, primarily
automobiles, at the time the collateral was in the possession of
the Company.  Currently, the Company charges-off the remaining
balance of a loan after the loan has become 120 days or more past
due, even if the collateral is not yet in the possession of the
Company.  When the collateral is subsequently received by the
Company, the charged-off amount is adjusted for the value of the
collateral. In addition, in an effort to further reduce the
overall level of loan charge-offs within this portfolio, the
Company has increased its collection efforts and has implemented
more stringent lending practices, including regular reviews of
new loans originated and strict adherence to approved policies
and practices.  The Company expects the level of loan charge-offs
of its automobile loan portfolio to decrease as the current
practices are applied to the existing portfolio and new loan
originations.

Noninterest Income

      Noninterest income decreased by $296,000 to $489,000 from
$785,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The decrease is primarily due to a $255,000 legal
settlement received and recorded as income in the second quarter
of 1994 and decreased loan servicing fees of $52,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 in comparison to the same period
in 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
noninterest income increased by $356,000 to $1,772,000 from
$1,416,000, respectively. The increase is associated with the
return of $802,000 to BancTEXAS which was maintained in a trust,
partially offset by the legal settlement received and recorded as
income during 1994 and the decrease in loan servicing fees of
$162,000 to $108,000 from $270,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The legal settlement related to a lawsuit filed against the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regarding the closure of
the Company's former subsidiary, BankTEXAS Dallas.

     The $802,000 returned to BancTEXAS related to a trust which
was established during 1990 and subsequently funded by BancTEXAS
to provide limited protection against personal claims being taken
or threatened against BancTEXAS' officers and directors and
potential costs of litigation.  Prior to BancTEXAS' affiliation
with First Banks, officer and director liability insurance was
not economically feasible.  Considering  the cost  of  such
insurance, certain legal claims pending against BancTEXAS at that
time and the potential for additional claims, BancTEXAS elected
to establish and fund this trust.  Since officer and director
coverage is now available at a reasonable price, the trust fund
is no longer necessary and, accordingly, was terminated, at which
time the funds were returned to BancTEXAS.




                                    -9-
 11

     The reduction in loan servicing fees is due to the decrease
in loans serviced for others to $14 million from $34 million at
June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Loans serviced for others
consist of automobile loans that were sold for which the
servicing was retained by the Company.  The decrease in the loan
servicing portfolio is attributable to the Company's decision to
retain new loan originations in its loan portfolio.


Noninterest Expenses

     Noninterest expenses decreased by $611,000 to $2,806,000
from $3,417,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, noninterest expenses decreased by $995,000 to $6,011,000
from $7,006,000. While virtually each functional area of
BancTEXAS has experienced reductions in noninterest expenses, the
decrease is primarily attributable to salaries and employee
benefits, partially offset by increases in other expenses.

      The decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $626,000
and $1,193,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively, is consistent with the reevaluation of
the operating cost structure of the Company, which commenced
during the third quarter of 1994. The restructuring of personnel
and assimilation of certain functions into existing systems of
First Banks is expected to be completed during the third quarter
of 1995.

     Offsetting the decrease in salaries and employee benefits
were increases in other expenses of $264,000 and $505,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, which
were primarily attributable to the conversion and centralization
of data processing and certain operating functions to First
Banks' systems and procedures.

     The Company expects noninterest expenses  to continue to
decline during the third and fourth quarters of 1995 in
comparison to the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1995.

                    Lending and Credit Management

     Interest earned on the loan portfolio is the primary source
of income of the Company.  Total loans, net of unearned discount,
represented 64.9% and 61.3% of total assets as of June 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994, respectively.  The Company has experienced
modest improvements in commercial and consumer loan demand during
the six month period ended June 30, 1995.  Total loans, net of
unearned discount, increased by $12.1 million to $215.4 million
at June 30, 1995 from $203.3 million at December 31, 1994.

     The Company's nonperforming loans consist of loans on a
nonaccrual status and loans on which the original terms have been
restructured.  Nonperforming loans were $507,000 and $293,000 at
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  Impaired
loans, consisting of nonaccrual loans, were $323,000 at June 30,
1995 and averaged $343,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995.

     The allowance for possible loan losses is based on past loan
loss experience, on Company management's evaluation of the
quality of the loans in the portfolio and on the anticipated
effect of national and local economic conditions relative to the
ability of loan customers to repay.  Each quarter, the allowance
for possible loan losses is revised relative to the Company's
internal watch list and other data to determine its adequacy.
The provision for possible loan losses is management's estimate
of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level
consistent with this evaluation.  As adjustments to the allowance
for possible loan losses are considered necessary, they are
reflected in the results of operations.

                    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
Company's inherent maturity and repricing characteristics of the
lending and deposit-taking activities creates a naturally
liability-sensitive structure.  By using a combination of on- and
off-balance sheet financial instruments, the Company manages its
interest rate sensitivity to within policy guidelines.

     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.  As more fully described in the
1994 Annual Report on Form 10K, BancTEXAS uses a combination of
derivative financial instruments including interest rate cap
agreements, interest rate futures contracts and options on
interest rate futures contracts to assist in achieving that
objective.

     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, of 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:


                                                  June 30, 1995         December 31, 1994
                                               -------------------     --------------------
                                               Notional     Credit     Notional      Credit
                                                amount     exposure     amount      exposure
                                               --------    --------    --------     --------
                                                      (dollars expressed in thousands)
                                                                           
Interest rate futures contracts                $918,000        -        768,000         -
Interest rate cap agreements                     10,000       392        10,000        577
Options on interest rate futures contracts      300,000        -           -            -


     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.

     The Company sells interest rate futures contracts to hedge
the interest rate risk of its available-for-sale securities
portfolio. In addition, during the second quarter of 1995 the
Company purchased options on interest rate futures contracts.
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.  Options on interest rate
futures contracts confer the right to purchase or sell financial
futures contracts at a specified price and are settled in cash.
Changes in contract values are settled daily.  Options and
futures contracts have little credit risk because futures
exchanges are the counterparties. The contracts outstanding at
June 30, 1995, which have expiration dates from December 1995 to
September 1998 were selected to approximate the effective
maturity of the available-for-sale securities portfolio.


                                    -11-

     At June 30, 1995, the unamortized balance of net deferred
losses on interest rate futures contracts was $4.7 million, which
was applied to the carrying value of the available-for-sale
securities portfolio as part of the mark-to-market valuation.  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 available-for-sale securities portfolio in
connection with the quasi-reorganization, as more fully described
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in
the 1994 Annual Report on Form 10K. At June 30, 1995, the
unamortized premium paid on the options to purchase interest rate
futures contracts was $84,000 and were also applied to the
carrying value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio as
part of the mark-to-market valuation.

     The net change in the unamortized balance of net deferred
losses is attributable to the significant decline in interest
rates which occurred during the period from December 31, 1994
through June 30, 1995.  The losses incurred on the interest rate
futures contracts were partially offset by gains in the
available-for-sale securities portfolio. The net loss in value,
which totaled $2.2 million for the six month period ended June
30, 1995, resulted from an increase in the projected prepayments
of principal underlying the available-for-sale securities
portfolio.  These increased prepayment projections
disproportionately shortened the expected lives of the available-
for-sale securities portfolio in comparison to the effective
maturity created with the hedge position.  As a result, the
Company adjusted its hedge position to coincide with the current
expected life of the available-for-sale securities portfolio by
reducing the number of outstanding interest rate futures
contracts and purchasing options on interest rate futures
contracts. The options will gain significant value in a falling
interest rate environment.

     BancTEXAS also has 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 June 30, 1995
effectively limits the interest rate to 5.0% on $10 million of
interest-bearing liabilities from October 15, 1997 to May 15,
2000.  At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the unamortized
costs were $521,000 and $577,000, respectively, and were included
in other assets.  There are no amounts receivable under the
agreement.

     BancTEXAS will continue to utilize a combination of on- and
off-balance sheet financial instruments to manage interest rate
sensitivity to within the prescribed policy limits.


                         Liquidity

     The liquidity of the Company and the Bank is the ability to
maintain a cash flow which is adequate to fund operations,
service its debt obligations and meet other commitments on a
timely basis.  The primary sources of funds for liquidity are
derived from customer deposits, loan payments, maturities, sales
of investments and operations.  In addition, the Company and the
Bank may avail themselves 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.  The aggregate funds acquired from those sources were
$68.8 million at June 30, 1995 and $66.7 million at December 31,
1994.

     At  June 30, 1995, the  Company's more volatile sources of
funds mature as follows:


                                                                   (dollars expressed in thousands)
                                                                             
        Three months or less.........................................           $47,112
        Over three months through six months.........................             4,154
        Over six months through twelve months........................             4,217
        Over twelve months...........................................            13,349
                                                                                -------
         Total.......................................................           $68,832
                                                                                =======


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

                         Capital

     Risk-based capital guidelines for financial institutions 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.  The Company and the
Bank are required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, with at least 4.00% being
"Tier 1" capital.  Tier 1 capital is composed of  total
stockholders' equity, less the excess of net deferred tax assets,
which is more fully described below.  In addition, a minimum
leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of 3.00% plus an
additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points is expected.


     At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company's and
the Bank's capital ratios were as follows:

                                        Risk-based capital ratios
                                        -------------------------
                                        Total              Tier 1      Leverage Ratio
                                        -----              ------      --------------
                                   1995      1994      1995      1994   1995    1994
                                   ----      ----      ----      ----   ----    ----
                                                              
     Company....................   12.95%    17.50%    12.07%    16.28%  9.62%  11.97%
     Bank.......................    8.31      9.25      7.42      8.04   5.92    5.82


     The decrease in the risk-based capital and leverage ratios
for the Company are primarily due to an increase in the risk-
weighted assets of $12 million at June 30, 1995 in comparison to
December 31, 1994, and a change in regulation affecting the
treatment of net deferred tax assets.  The change in regulation,
which was effective for the Company on April 1, 1995, limits the
amount of net deferred tax assets, as adjusted for any amounts
applicable to the SFAS 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities", that are included in Tier 1 capital.
The amount of net deferred tax assets that may be included in
Tier 1 capital is limited to the lesser of the amount of net
deferred tax assets that the Company expects to realize over the
next twelve month period or 10% of Tier 1 capital.  The amount
expected to be realized by the Company over the next twelve month
period has been estimated at $1.6 million and is included in Tier
1 capital as it is less than 10% of Tier 1 capital.  The
remaining amount of the net deferred tax assets, as adjusted, of
$9.4 million for the Company has been subtracted from
stockholders' equity in arriving at Tier 1 capital at June 30,
1995.

     The decrease in the risk-based capital ratios for the Bank
is primarily due to an increase in the risk-weighted assets of
the Bank of $27 million at June 30, 1995 in comparison to
December 31, 1994.  The regulation affecting the treatment of net
deferred tax assets was already in effect for the Bank as of
December 31, 1994.  The increase in the Bank's leverage ratio is
primarily due to the earnings of the Bank for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995.
