Item 5.03 - Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.

The Board of Directors of Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc. ("Corporation") adopted
an amendment to the Corporation's Bylaws, effective as of March 22, 2006. The
amendment is set forth in Exhibit 3(iii) to this Form 8-K and is described
below.

Section 3.3 of Article III of the Corporation's Bylaws was amended in order to
adopt advance notice requirements covering shareholder proposals and board
nominations that are intended to be presented at shareholders' meetings without
inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("non-Rule 14a-8 proposals"). New Section 3.3
sets the close of business on April 30, 2006 as the deadline for submission of
non-Rule 14a-8 proposals for the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders and also
sets deadlines for submission of non-Rule 14a-8 proposals to be presented at
future annual and special shareholders' meetings. The Bylaws previously did not
contain advance notice provisions or deadlines for submission of non-Rule 14a-8
proposals. The amendment also deletes the requirement to recite this section of
the Bylaws in every notice to shareholders of a meeting at which directors are
to be elected.
