A former Director of Economic Development for Rio Grande City, Dalinda spoke of TRB’s role in fostering trust and relationships, stating, “Our bank is not about transactions—it’s about building trust and being of service to those who need it, whether it’s financial advice, opening an account, or securing a mortgage.”

Michael credited Rio Grande City for surpassing expectations, saying, “Rio Grande City has rewarded Texas Regional Bank more than any other city has when we opened a branch, and it’s all thanks to the incredible team we have here.”

Alex Meade, Executive over Public Funds and Economic Development, emphasized the collaboration between TRB and local leaders. “Rio Grande City moved faster and welcomed us more warmly than any other city we’ve worked with,” Alex said, thanking Gilbert Millan and the Economic Development Corporation for their support.

Mayor Gilberto Falcon took the stage to share his joy at the progress the city is making, saying, “This celebration signifies our economic progress. A bank is not just a financial institution—it’s a place where dreams come true.” The mayor praised TRB for investing in the city, creating jobs, and strengthening the local economy.

A highlight of the evening was the $1,000 donation to Mariachi Cascabel, an award-winning ensemble from Rio Grande City High School. Their achievements, including Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl performances, were celebrated as local pride. As the mariachi played, the community’s spirit filled the air.

Dr. Tony Falcon, a TRB board member, highlighted the bank’s impact across Texas, stating, “From funding civic projects to supporting student organizations, TRB has invested tens of thousands of dollars and hours into communities.”

The event concluded with additional recognitions, including a Congressional Certificate of Recognition presented by Robert Bazan from Congressman Henry Cuellar’s office and remarks from Roy Garza, President of the Greater Rio Grande City Chamber of Commerce.
