HARLINGEN, Texas – Texas Regional Bank (TRB) announces its recent acquisition of Smith-Reagan Insurance (Smith-Reagan), a leading provider of commercial insurance services in Cameron County, Texas. The acquisition is part of TRB’s continued expansion of its insurance subsidiary. TRB Insurance Agency was established in 2022 and began issuing policies by acquiring Mission-Duncan Insurance.
With this transaction, Smith-Reagan brings eighteen insurance professionals.

Smith-Reagan’s commercial insurance expertise will provide TRB clients with tailored insurance solutions.
Ryan Newman, TRB Insurance Division President, states, “This acquisition is a key milestone for our insurance division’s growth strategy, and we look forward to delivering even more value to our customers in all our regions. The alignment of our core values makes this acquisition a great cultural fit.”
Founded in 1909, Smith-Reagan has been committed to offering customers high-quality insurance coverage, advice, and service at an affordable price. The company’s core values of empathy, patience, and service complement the culture of TRB’s Insurance Division. Moreover, both companies share a tradition of community engagement, including volunteer efforts and local event sponsorships.
