ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
 
Background
 
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc., a financial holding company, is the parent of Texas Capital Bank, National Association, a Texas-based bank headquartered in Dallas, with banking offices in Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio, the state’s five largest metropolitan areas. Our market focus is commercial business and high net worth individuals, and we offer a variety of banking products and services to our customers. We have focused on organic growth, maintenance of credit quality and bankers with strong personal and professional relationships in their communities.
 
We focus on serving the needs of commercial and high net worth customers, the core of our model since our organization in March 1998. We do not incur the costs of competing in an over-branched and over-crowded consumer market. We are primarily a secured lender in Texas, and, as a result, we have experienced a low percentage of charge-offs relative to both total loans and non-performing loans since inception. Our loan portfolio is diversified by industry, collateral and geography in Texas.
 
Growth History
 
We have grown substantially in both size and profitability since our formation. The table below sets forth data regarding the growth of key areas of our business from December 2004 through December 2008.

The Texas Market
 
The Texas market for banking services is highly competitive. Texas’ largest banking organizations are headquartered outside of Texas and are controlled by out-of-state organizations. We also compete with other providers of financial services, such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, securities firms, insurance companies, insurance agencies, commercial finance and leasing companies, full service brokerage firms and discount brokerage firms. We believe that many middle market companies and high net worth individuals are interested in banking with a company headquartered in, and with decision-making authority based in, Texas and with established Texas bankers who have the expertise to

Table of Contents

act as trusted advisors to the customer with regard to its banking needs. Our banking centers in our target markets are served by experienced bankers with lending expertise in the specific industries found in their market areas and established community ties. We believe our bank can offer customers more responsive and personalized service. We believe that, if we service these customers properly, we will be able to establish long-term relationships and provide multiple products to our customers, thereby enhancing our profitability.
 
Business Strategy
 
Utilizing the business and community ties of our management and their banking experience, our strategy is building an independent bank that focuses primarily on middle market business customers and high net worth individuals in each of the five major metropolitan markets of Texas. To achieve this, we seek to implement the following strategies:
 
  •  target middle market businesses and high net worth individuals;
 
  •  grow our loan and deposit base in our existing markets by hiring additional experienced Texas bankers;
 
  •  continue the emphasis on credit policy to provide for credit quality consistent with long-term objectives;
 
  •  improve our financial performance through the efficient management of our infrastructure and capital base, which includes:
 
  •  leveraging our existing infrastructure to support a larger volume of business;
 
  •  maintaining stringent internal approval processes for capital and operating expenses;
 
  •  extensive use of outsourcing to provide cost-effective operational support with service levels consistent with large-bank operations; and
 
  •  extend our reach within our target markets of Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio through service innovation and service excellence.
 
Products and Services
 
We offer a variety of loan, deposit account and other financial products and services to our customers.

Lending Activities
 
Credit Policy.  We target our lending to middle market businesses and high net worth individuals that meet our credit standards. The credit standards are set by our standing Credit Policy Committee with the assistance of our Bank’s Chief Credit Officer, who is charged with ensuring that credit standards are met by loans in our portfolio. Our Credit Policy Committee is comprised of senior Bank officers including our Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, our President/Chief Lending Officer and our Bank’s Chief Credit Officer. We believe we have maintained a diversified loan portfolio. Credit policies and underwriting guidelines are tailored to address the unique risks associated with each industry represented in the portfolio. Our credit standards for commercial borrowers reference numerous criteria with respect to the borrower, including historical and projected financial information, strength of management, acceptable collateral and associated advance rates, and market conditions and trends in the borrower’s industry. In addition, prospective loans are also analyzed based on current industry concentrations in our loan portfolio to prevent an unacceptable concentration of loans in any particular industry. We believe our credit standards are consistent with achieving business objectives in the markets we serve and will generally mitigate risks. We believe that we differentiate our bank from its competitors by focusing on and aggressively marketing to our core customers and accommodating, to the extent permitted by our credit standards, their individual needs.
 
We generally extend variable rate loans in which the interest rate fluctuates with a predetermined indicator such as the United States prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Our use of variable rate loans is designed to protect us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations since the rates of interest earned will automatically reflect such fluctuations.
 
Commercial Loans and Leases.  Our commercial loan portfolio is comprised of lines of credit for working capital and term loans and leases to finance equipment and other business assets. Our energy production loans are generally collateralized with proven reserves based on appropriate valuation standards. Our lines of credit typically are limited to a percentage of the value of the assets securing the line. Lines of credit and term loans typically are reviewed annually and are supported by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets of our clients’ businesses. At December 31, 2008, funded commercial loans and leases totaled approximately $2.4 billion, approximately 52% of our total funded loans.
 
Real Estate Loans.  Approximately 22% of our real estate loan portfolio and 8% of the total portfolio is comprised of loans secured by properties other than market risk or investment-type real estate. We generally provide temporary financing for commercial and residential property. Our real estate loans generally have maximum terms of five to seven years, and we provide loans with both floating and fixed rates. We generally avoid long-term loans for commercial real estate held for investment. At December 31, 2008, real estate term loans totaled approximately $988.8 million, approximately 46% of the real estate portfolio and 21% of our total funded loans; of this total, $782.8 million were loans with floating rates and $216.5 million were loans with fixed rates.
 
Construction Loans.  Our construction loan portfolio consists primarily of single-family residential properties and commercial projects used in manufacturing, warehousing, service or retail businesses. Our construction loans generally have terms of one to three years. We typically make construction loans to developers, builders and contractors that have an established record of successful project completion and loan repayment and have a substantial investment of the borrowers’ equity. These loans typically have floating rates and commitment fees. At December 31, 2008, funded construction real estate loans totaled approximately $667.4 million, approximately 15% of our total funded loans.
 
Loans Held for Sale.  Our loans held for sale portfolio consists primarily of single-family residential mortgages funded through our mortgage warehouse group. These loans are typically on our balance sheet less than

30 days. At December 31, 2008, loans held for sale totaled approximately $496.4 million, approximately 11% of our total funded loans.
 
Letters of Credit.  We issue standby and commercial letters of credit, and can service the international needs of our clients through correspondent banks. At December 31, 2008, our commitments under letters of credit totaled approximately $70.1 million.

Loans extended to borrowers within the contracting industry are comprised largely of loans to land developers and to both heavy construction and general commercial contractors. Many of these loans are secured by real estate properties, the development of which is or may be financed by our bank. Loans extended to borrowers within the petrochemical and mining industries are predominantly loans to finance the exploration and production of petroleum and natural gas. These loans are generally secured by proven petroleum and natural gas reserves. Personal/household loans include loans to certain high net worth individuals for commercial purposes and mortgage loans and participations purchased in residential mortgage loans held for sale, in addition to consumer loans. Loans extended to borrowers within the services industries include loans to finance working capital and equipment, as well as loans to finance investment and owner-occupied real estate. Significant trade categories represented within the services industries include, but are not limited to, real estate services, financial services, leasing companies, transportation and communication, and hospitality services. Borrowers represented within the real estate services category are largely owners and managers of both residential and non-residential commercial real estate properties.

We make loans that are appropriately collateralized under our credit standards. Approximately 95% of our funded loans are secured by collateral. Over 90% of the real estate collateral is located in Texas.

Deposit Products
 
We offer a variety of deposit products to our core customers at interest rates that are competitive with other banks. Our business deposit products include commercial checking accounts, lockbox accounts, cash concentration accounts, and other cash management products. Our consumer deposit products include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. We also allow our consumer deposit customers to access their accounts, transfer funds, pay bills and perform other account functions over the Internet and through ATM machines.
 
Trust and Asset Management
 
Our trust services include investment management, personal trust and estate services, custodial services, retirement accounts and related services. Our investment management professionals work with our clients to define objectives, goals and strategies for their investment portfolios. We assist the customer with the selection of an investment manager and work with the client to tailor the investment program accordingly. We also offer retirement products such as individual retirement accounts and administrative services for retirement vehicles such as pension and profit sharing plans.
 
Cayman Islands Branch
 
In June 2003, we received authorization from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority to establish a branch of our bank in the Cayman Islands. We believe that a Cayman Islands branch of our bank enables us to offer more competitive cash management and deposit products to our core customers. Our Cayman Islands branch consists of an agented office to facilitate our offering of these products. We opened our Cayman Islands branch in September 2003. All deposits in the Cayman Branch come from U.S. based customers of our Bank. Deposits do not originate from foreign sources, and funds transfers neither come from nor go to facilities outside of the U.S. All deposits are in US dollars. As of December 31, 2008, our Cayman Islands deposits totaled $500.0 million.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had 547 full-time employees relating to our continuing operations. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Regulation and Supervision
 
Current banking laws contain numerous provisions affecting various aspects of our business. Our bank is subject to federal banking laws and regulations that impose specific requirements on and provide regulatory oversight of virtually all aspects of our operations. These laws and regulations are generally intended for the protection of depositors, the deposit insurance funds of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, and the banking system as a whole, rather than for the protection of our stockholders. Banking regulators have broad enforcement powers over financial holding companies and banks and their affiliates, including the power to impose large fines and other penalties for violations of laws and regulations. The following is a brief summary of laws and regulations to which we are subject.
 
National banks such as our bank are subject to examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the OCC. The OCC and the FDIC regulate or monitor all areas of a national bank’s operations, including security devices and procedures, adequacy of capitalization and loss reserves, loans, investments, borrowings, deposits, mergers, issuances of securities, payment of dividends, interest rate risk management, establishment of branches, corporate reorganizations, maintenance of books and records, and adequacy of staff training to carry on safe lending and deposit gathering practices. The OCC requires national banks to maintain capital ratios and imposes limitations on its aggregate investment in real estate, bank premises and furniture and fixtures. National banks are currently required by the OCC to prepare quarterly reports on their financial condition and to conduct an annual audit of their financial affairs in compliance with minimum standards and procedures prescribed by the OCC.
 
Restrictions on Dividends and Repurchases.  Our source of funding to pay dividends is our bank. Our bank is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the OCC. Under such restrictions, national banks may not, without the prior approval of the OCC, declare dividends in excess of the sum of the current year’s net profits plus the retained net profits from the prior two years, less any required transfers to surplus. In addition, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, our bank may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or in the event it is undercapitalized.
 
It is the policy of the Federal Reserve, which regulates financial holding companies such as ours, that financial holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that financial holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the financial holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.
 
If, in the opinion of the applicable federal bank regulatory authority, a depository institution or holding company is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsound practice (which could include the payment of dividends), such authority may require, generally after notice and hearing, that such institution or holding company cease and desist such practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s or holding company’s capital base to an inadequate level would be such an unsafe banking practice. Moreover, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC have issued policy statements providing that financial holding companies and insured depository institutions generally should only pay dividends out of current operating earnings.
 
Pursuant to our participation in the U.S. Treasury’s voluntary Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) in January 2009, no dividends can be paid on Common Stock without the consent of Treasury until the third anniversary of the date of the Series A perpetual preferred stock, unless all of those shares are redeemed or Treasury has transferred them to third parties. Also, all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A perpetual preferred stock would have to be fully paid. Further, until such time, without the consent of the Treasury and the payment of all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A perpetual preferred stock, we may not repurchase any shares of our common stock.
 
Supervision by the Federal Reserve.  We operate as a financial holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, and, as such, we are subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve. The Bank Holding Company Act and other Federal laws subject financial holding companies to


6


Table of Contents

particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.
 
Because we are a legal entity separate and distinct from our bank, our right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors. In the event of a liquidation or other resolution of a subsidiary, the claims of depositors and other general or subordinated creditors are entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of holders of any obligation of the institution to its stockholders, including any financial holding company (such as ours) or any stockholder or creditor thereof.
 
Support of Subsidiary Banks.  Under Federal Reserve policy, a financial holding company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to each of its banking subsidiaries and commit resources to their support. Such support may be required at times when, absent this Federal Reserve policy, a holding company may not be inclined to provide it. As discussed below, a financial holding company in certain circumstances could be required to guarantee the capital plan of an undercapitalized banking subsidiary in order for it to be accepted by the regulators.
 
In the event of a financial holding company’s bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the bankruptcy trustee will be deemed to have assumed and is required to cure immediately any deficit under any commitment by the debtor holding company to any of the federal banking agencies to maintain the capital of an insured depository institution, and any claim for breach of such obligation will generally have priority over most other unsecured claims.
 
Capital Adequacy Requirements.  The bank regulators have adopted a system using risk-based capital guidelines to evaluate the capital adequacy of banking organizations. Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets and off-balance sheet activities such as letters of credit are assigned different risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit risk of the asset. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a “risk weighted” asset base. The guidelines require a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8% (of which at least 4% is required to consist of Tier 1 capital elements).
 
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of banking organizations. The leverage ratio is a company’s Tier 1 capital divided by its average total consolidated assets. Banking organizations must maintain a minimum leverage ratio of at least 3%, although most organizations are expected to maintain leverage ratios that are at least 100 to 200 basis points above this minimum ratio.
 
The federal banking agencies’ risk-based and leverage ratios are minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to banking organizations that meet specified criteria, assuming that they have the highest regulatory rating. Banking organizations not meeting these criteria are expected to operate with capital positions well above the minimum ratios. The federal bank regulatory agencies may set capital requirements for a particular banking organization that are higher than the minimum ratios when circumstances warrant. Federal Reserve guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing significant internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. In addition, the regulations of the bank regulators provide that concentration of credit risks arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage these risks, are important factors to be taken into account by regulatory agencies in assessing an organization’s overall capital adequacy.
 
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders.  Our bank is subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act which places limits on the amount of loans or extensions of credit to affiliates that it may make. In addition, extensions of credit must be collateralized by Treasury securities or other collateral in prescribed amounts. Most of these loans and other transactions must be secured in prescribed amounts. It also limits the amount of advances to third parties which are collateralized by our securities or obligations or the securities or obligations of any of our non-banking subsidiaries.
 
Our bank also is subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which, among other things, prohibits an institution from engaging in transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the

Table of Contents

same, or at least as favorable to such institution or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliates. We are subject to restrictions on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal stockholders and their related interests. These restrictions contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Regulation O apply to all insured institutions and their subsidiaries and holding companies. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests. These loans cannot exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the FDIC may determine that a lesser amount is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable restrictions.
 
Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act imposes a regulatory matrix which requires the federal banking agencies, which include the FDIC, the OCC and the Federal Reserve, to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to capital deficient institutions. The prompt corrective action provisions subject undercapitalized institutions to an increasingly stringent array of restrictions, requirements and prohibitions as their capital levels deteriorate and supervisory problems mount. Should these corrective measures prove unsuccessful in recapitalizing the institution and correcting its problems, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act mandates that the institution be placed in receivership.
 
Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, the corrective actions that the banking agencies either must or may take are tied primarily to an institution’s capital levels. In accordance with the framework adopted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, the banking agencies have developed a classification system, pursuant to which all banks and thrifts will be placed into one of five categories. Agency regulations define, for each capital category, the levels at which institutions are “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” A well capitalized bank has a total risk-based capital ratio (total capital to risk-weighted assets) of 10% or higher; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets) of 6% or higher; a leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets) of 5% or higher; and is not subject to any written agreement, order or directive requiring it to maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An institution is critically undercapitalized if it has a tangible equity to total assets ratio that is equal to or less than 2%. Our bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 10.29% at December 31, 2008 and, as a result, it is currently classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations.
 
In addition to requiring undercapitalized institutions to submit a capital restoration plan which must be guaranteed by its holding company (up to specified limits) in order to be accepted by the bank regulators, agency regulations contain broad restrictions on activities of undercapitalized institutions including asset growth, acquisitions, branch establishment and expansion into new lines of business. With some exceptions, an insured depository institution is prohibited from making capital distributions, including dividends, and is prohibited from paying management fees to control persons if the institution would be undercapitalized after any such distribution or payment.
 
As an institution’s capital decreases, the OCC’s enforcement powers become more severe. A significantly undercapitalized institution is subject to mandated capital raising activities, restrictions on interest rates paid and transactions with affiliates, removal of management and other restrictions. The OCC has only very limited discretion in dealing with a critically undercapitalized institution and is virtually required to appoint a receiver or conservator (the FDIC) if the capital deficiency is not corrected promptly.
 
Banks with risk-based capital and leverage ratios below the required minimums may also be subject to certain administrative actions, including the termination of deposit insurance upon notice and hearing, or a temporary suspension of insurance without a hearing in the event the institution has no tangible capital.
 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) contains important new requirements for public companies in the area of financial disclosure and corporate governance. In accordance with Section 302(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley, written certifications by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are required. These certifications attest that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue

statement of a material fact. During 2004, we implemented a program designed to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which includes the identification of significant processes and accounts, documentation of the design of control effectiveness over processes and entity level controls, and testing of the operating effectiveness of key controls.
 
Financial Modernization Act of 1999.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (the Modernization Act):
 
  •  allows bank holding companies meeting management, capital and Community Reinvestment Act standards to engage in a substantially broader range of non-banking activities than was permissible prior to enactment, including insurance underwriting and making merchant banking investments in commercial and financial companies;
 
  •  allows insurers and other financial services companies to acquire banks; and
 
  •  removes various restrictions that applied to bank holding company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund advisory companies; and establishes the overall regulatory structure applicable to bank holding companies that also engage in insurance and securities operations.
 
The Modernization Act also modifies other current financial laws, including laws related to financial privacy. The financial privacy provisions generally prohibit financial institutions, including us, from disclosing non-public personal financial information to non-affiliated third parties unless customers have the opportunity to “opt out” of the disclosure.
 
Community Reinvestment Act.  The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) requires depository institutions to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas consistent with safe and sound banking practice. Under the CRA, each depository institution is required to help meet the credit needs of its market areas by, among other things, providing credit to low- and moderate-income individuals and communities. Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with the CRA and are assigned ratings. In order for a financial holding company to commence new activity permitted by the Bank Holding Company Act, each insured depository institution subsidiary of the financial holding company must have received a rating of at least “satisfactory” in its most recent examination under the CRA.
 
The USA Patriot Act, the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act and the Bank Secrecy Act.  A major focus of governmental policy on financial institutions in recent years has been aimed at combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 substantially broadened the scope of United States anti-money laundering laws and penalties, specifically related to the Bank Secrecy Act, and expanded the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The United States Treasury Department has issued a number of implementing regulations which apply various requirements of the USA Patriot Act to financial institutions such as our bank. These regulations impose obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal, reputational and financial consequences for the institution. Because of the significance of regulatory emphasis on these requirements, the Company and the Bank will continue to expend significant staffing, technology and financial resources to maintain programs designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and an effective audit function for testing our compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act on an ongoing basis.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our common stock involves certain risks. You should consider carefully the following risks and other information in this report, including our financial information and related notes, before investing in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on or that management currently deems immaterial may also impair our business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.
 
Risk Factors Associated With Our Business
 
We must effectively manage our credit risk.  There are risks inherent in making any loan, including risks with respect to the period of time over which the loan may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers and risks resulting from uncertainties as to the future value of collateral. The risk of non-payment of loans is inherent in commercial banking. Although we attempt to minimize our credit risk by carefully monitoring the concentration of our loans within specific industries and through prudent loan approval practices in all categories of our lending, we cannot assure you that such monitoring and approval procedures will reduce these lending risks. We cannot assure you that our credit administration personnel, policies and procedures will adequately adapt to changes in economic or any other conditions affecting customers and the quality of the loan portfolio.
 
Our results of operation and financial condition would be adversely affected if our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to absorb actual losses.  Experience in the banking industry indicates that a portion of our loans in all categories of our lending business will become delinquent, and some may only be partially repaid or may never be repaid at all. Our methodology for establishing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses depends on subjective application of risk grades as indicators of borrowers’ ability to repay. Deterioration in general economic conditions and unforeseen risks affecting customers may have an adverse effect on borrowers’ capacity to repay timely their obligations before risk grades could reflect those changing conditions. In times of improving credit quality, with growth in our loan portfolio, the allowance for loan losses may decrease as a percent of total loans. Changes in economic and market conditions may increase the risk that the allowance would become inadequate if borrowers experience economic and other conditions adverse to their businesses. Maintaining the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses may require that we make significant and unanticipated increases in our provisions for loan losses, which would materially affect our results of operations and capital adequacy. Recognizing that many of our loans individually represent a significant percentage of our total allowance for loan losses, adverse collection experience in a relatively small number of loans could require an increase in our allowance. Federal regulators, as an integral part of their respective supervisory functions, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The regulatory agencies may require us to change classifications or grades on loans, increase the allowance for loan losses with large provisions for loan losses and to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our growth plans are dependent on the availability of capital and funding.  The Company’s dependence on trust preferred and other forms of debt capital, as well as other short-term sources of funding may become limited by market conditions beyond our control, as has been evidenced with the economic downturn and issues affecting the financial services industry. Pricing of capital, in terms of interest or dividend requirements or


10


Table of Contents

dilutive impact on earnings available to shareholders have increased dramatically, and an increase in costs of capital can have a direct impact on operating performance and the ability to achieve growth objectives. Costs of funding could also increase dramatically and affect our growth objectives, as well as our financial performance. Adverse changes in operating performance and financial condition could make capital necessary to support or maintain “well capitalized” status either difficult to obtain or extremely expensive.
 
Our operations are significantly affected by interest rate levels.  Our profitability is dependent to a large extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income we earn as a result of interest paid to us on loans and investments and interest we pay to third parties such as our depositors and those from whom we borrow funds. Like most financial institutions, we are affected by changes in general interest rate levels, which are currently at record low levels, and by other economic factors beyond our control. Interest rate risk can result from mismatches between the dollar amount of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities and from mismatches in the timing and rate at which our assets and liabilities reprice. Although we have implemented strategies which we believe reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations, these strategies may not always be successful. In addition, any substantial and prolonged increase in market interest rates could reduce our customers’ desire to borrow money from us or adversely affect their ability to repay their outstanding loans by increasing their costs since most of our loans have adjustable interest rates that reset periodically. If our borrowers’ ability to repay is affected, our level of non-performing assets would increase and the amount of interest earned on loans will decrease, thereby having an adverse effect on operating results. Any of these events could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
 
Our business faces unpredictable economic and business conditions.  General economic conditions and specific business conditions impact the banking industry and our customers’ businesses. The credit quality of our loan portfolio necessarily reflects, among other things, the general economic conditions in the areas in which we conduct our business. Our continued financial success depends somewhat on factors beyond our control, including:
 
  •  national and local economic conditions;
 
  •  the supply and demand for investable funds;
 
  •  interest rates; and
 
  •  federal, state and local laws affecting these matters.
 
Substantial deterioration in any of the foregoing conditions, as we have experienced with the current economic downturn, can have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition, and we may not be able to sustain our historical rate of growth. Our bank’s customer base is primarily commercial in nature, and our bank does not have a significant branch network or retail deposit base. In periods of economic downturn, business and commercial deposits may tend to be more volatile than traditional retail consumer deposits and, therefore, during these periods our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected to a greater degree than our competitors that have a larger retail customer base.
 
We are dependent upon key personnel.  Our success depends to a significant extent upon the performance of certain key employees, the loss of whom could have an adverse effect on our business. Although we have entered into employment agreements with certain employees, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining key employees.
 
Our business is concentrated in Texas and a downturn in the economy of Texas may adversely affect our business.  A substantial majority of our business is located in Texas. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be affected by changes in the Texas economy. A prolonged period of economic recession or other adverse economic conditions in Texas may result in an increase in non-payment of loans and a decrease in collateral value.
 
Our business strategy includes growth plans within our target markets and, if we fail to manage our growth effectively as we pursue our expansion strategy, it could negatively affect our operations.  We intend to develop our business by


11


Table of Contents

pursuing a significant growth strategy. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in significant growth stages of development. In order to execute our growth strategy successfully, we must, among other things:
 
  •  identify and expand into suitable markets and lines of business;
 
  •  build our customer base;
 
  •  maintain credit quality;
 
  •  attract sufficient deposits to fund our anticipated loan growth;
 
  •  attract and retain qualified bank management in each of our targeted markets;
 
  •  identify and pursue suitable opportunities for opening new banking locations; and
 
  •  maintain adequate regulatory capital.
 
Failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations, and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.
 
We compete with many larger financial institutions which have substantially greater financial resources than we have.  Competition among financial institutions in Texas is intense. We compete with other financial and bank holding companies, state and national commercial banks, savings and loan associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerages, insurance companies, mortgage banking companies, money market mutual funds, asset-based non-bank lenders and other financial institutions. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources, lending limits and larger branch networks than we do, and are able to offer a broader range of products and services than we can. Failure to compete effectively for deposit, loan and other banking customers in our markets could cause us to lose market share, slow our growth rate and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
The risks involved in commercial lending may be material.  We generally invest a greater proportion of our assets in commercial loans than other banking institutions of our size, and our business plan calls for continued efforts to increase our assets invested in these loans. Commercial loans may involve a higher degree of credit risk than some other types of loans due, in part, to their larger average size, the effects of changing economic conditions on commercial loans, the dependency on the cash flow of the borrowers’ businesses to service debt, the sale of assets securing the loans, and disposition of collateral which may not be readily marketable. Losses incurred on a relatively small number of commercial loans could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Real estate lending in our core Texas markets involves risks related to a decline in value of commercial and residential real estate.  Our real estate lending activities, and the exposure to fluctuations in real estate values, are significant and expected to increase. The market value of real estate can fluctuate significantly in a relatively short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. If the value of the real estate serving as collateral for our loan portfolio were to decline materially, a significant part of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized and we may not be able to realize the amount of security that we anticipated at the time of originating the loan. Conditions in certain segments of the real estate industry, including homebuilding, lot development and mortgage lending, may have an effect on values of real estate pledged as collateral in our markets. The inability of purchasers of real estate, including residential real estate, to obtain financing may weaken the financial condition of borrowers dependent on the sale or refinancing of property. Failure to sell some loans held for sale in accordance with contracted terms may result in mark to market charges to other operating income. In addition, after the mark to market, we may transfer the loans into the loans held for investment portfolio where they will then be subject to changes in grade, classification, accrual status, foreclosure, or loss which could have an effect on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
 
Our future profitability depends, to a significant extent, upon revenue we receive from our middle market business customers and their ability to meet their loan obligations.  Our future profitability depends, to a significant extent, upon revenue we receive from middle market business customers, and their ability to continue to meet

existing loan obligations. As a result, adverse economic conditions or other factors adversely affecting this market segment may have a greater adverse effect on us than on other financial institutions that have a more diversified customer base.
 
System failure or breaches of our network security could subject us to increased operating costs as well as litigation and other liabilities.  The computer systems and network infrastructure we use could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a similar catastrophic event. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could have an adverse effect on our customers. In addition, we must be able to protect the computer systems and network infrastructure utilized by us against physical damage, security breaches and service disruption caused by the Internet or other users. Such computer break-ins and other disruptions would jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure, which may result in significant liability to us and deter potential customers. Although we, with the help of third-party service providers, will continue to implement security technology and establish operational procedures to prevent such damage, there can be no assurance that these security measures will be successful. In addition, the failure of our customers to maintain appropriate security for their systems may increase our risk of loss. We have and will continue to incur costs with the training of our customers about protection of their systems. However, we cannot be assured that this training will be adequate to avoid risk to our customers or, under unknown circumstances to us.
 
We are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision.  We are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, operations and growth, among other things. These regulations also impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls, among other things, to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identities of our customers. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. We expend substantial effort and incur costs to improve our systems, audit capabilities, staffing and training in order to satisfy regulatory requirements, but the regulatory authorities may determine that such efforts are insufficient. Failure to comply with relevant laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur. In addition, the FDIC could impose higher assessments on deposits based on general industry conditions and as a result of changes in specific programs. These increased assessments could affect our earnings.
 
Furthermore, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and NASD that are applicable to us, have increased the scope, complexity and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices. As a result, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, greater compliance costs.
 
We chose to participate in the U.S. Department of Treasury’s voluntary Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) and as a result of our participation are subject to additional regulatory restrictions, including limitations and prohibitions on various forms of executive compensation, restrictions on dividends and redemptions, and corporate governance requirements.
 
Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact our business.  Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on our ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of our deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing


13


Table of Contents

loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause us to incur additional expenses. Periodically, hurricanes have caused extensive flooding and destruction along the coastal areas of Texas, including communities where we conduct business, and our operations in Houston have been disrupted to a minor degree. While the impact of these hurricanes did not significantly affect us, other severe weather or natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events may occur in the future. Although management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our management maintains significant control over us.  Our current executive officers and directors beneficially own slightly more than 7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, our current executive officers and directors are able to influence, to a significant extent, the outcome of all matters required to be submitted to our stockholders for approval (including decisions relating to the election of directors), the determination of day-to-day corporate and management policies and other significant corporate activities.
 
There are substantial regulatory limitations on changes of control.  With certain limited exceptions, federal regulations prohibit a person or company or a group of persons deemed to be “acting in concert” from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 10% (5% if the acquirer is a bank holding company) of any class of our voting stock or obtaining the ability to control in any manner the election of a majority of our directors or otherwise direct the management or policies of our company without prior notice or application to and the approval of the Federal Reserve. Accordingly, prospective investors need to be aware of and comply with these requirements, if applicable, in connection with any purchase of shares of our common stock.
 
Anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make it more difficult for you to receive a change in control premium.  Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest more difficult, even if such events were perceived by many of our stockholders as beneficial to their interests. These provisions include advance notice for nominations of directors and stockholders’ proposals, and authority to issue the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, in general, prevents an interested stockholder, defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock, from engaging in a business combination with our company for three years following the date that person became an interested stockholder unless certain specified conditions are satisfied.
 
We are subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility, employment practices and other general business matters litigation.  From time to time, customers make claims and take legal action pertaining to our performance of our fiduciary responsibilities. Whether customer claims and legal action related to our performance of its fiduciary responsibilities are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of us and our products and services as well as impact customer demand for those products and services. In addition, employees can make claims related to our employment practices. If such claims or legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of us. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.  Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
New lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks.  From time to time, we may develop and grow new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business.

Table of Contents

There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new products and services we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of business and/or new product or service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. All service offerings, including current offerings and those which may be provided in the future may become more risky due to changes in economic, competitive and market conditions beyond our control.
 
Risks Associated With Our Common Stock
 
Our stock price can be volatile.  Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors including, among other things:
 
  •  actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations;
 
  •  recommendations by securities analysts;
 
  •  operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
 
  •  news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry, including the failures of other financial institutions in the current economic downturn;
 
  •  perceptions in the marketplace regarding us and/or our competitors;
 
  •  new technology used, or services offered, by competitors;
 
  •  significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
 
  •  failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;
 
  •  changes in government regulations; and
 
  •  geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.
 
General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of operating results as evidenced by the current volatility and disruption of capital and credit markets.
 
The trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies.  Although our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. Given the lower trading volume of our common stock, significant sales of our common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause the our stock price to fall.
 
An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit.  Our common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in our common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of


15


Table of Contents

common stock in any company. As a result, if you acquire our common stock, you may lose some or all of your investment.
 
The holders of our junior subordinated debentures have rights that are senior to those of our shareholders.  As of December 31, 2008, we had $113.4 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding that were issued to our statutory trusts. The trusts purchased the junior subordinated debentures from us using the proceeds from the sale of trust preferred securities to third party investors. Payments of the principal and interest on the trust preferred securities are conditionally guaranteed by us to the extent not paid or made by each trust, provided the trust has funds available for such obligations.
 
The junior subordinated debentures are senior to our shares of common stock and Series A perpetual preferred stock. As a result, we must make payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) before any dividends can be paid on our common stock or preferred stock and, in the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of the debentures must be satisfied before any distributions can be made to our shareholders. If certain conditions are met, we have the right to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) at any time or from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters in a deferral period, during which time no dividends may be paid to holders of our common stock or preferred stock.
 
The holders of our Series A perpetual preferred stock have rights that are senior to those of our common shareholders.  In January 2009, we issued and sold $75 million of our Series A perpetual preferred stock, which ranks senior to common stock in the payment of dividends and on liquidation. The liquidation amount of the Series A perpetual preferred stock is $1,000 per share.
 
We do not currently pay dividends.  Our ability to pay dividends is limited and we may be unable to pay future dividends. We do not currently pay dividends on our common stock. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient consolidated capital. The ability of our bank subsidiary, Texas Capital Bank, to pay dividends to us is limited by its obligations to maintain sufficient capital and by other general restrictions on its dividends that are applicable to our regulated bank subsidiary. If these regulatory requirements are not met, our subsidiary bank will not be able to pay dividends to us, and we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock or preferred stock.
 
As a result of our participation in the CPP, we may not pay dividends on our common stock without the consent of Treasury until the third anniversary of the date of the Series A perpetual preferred stock, unless all of those shares are redeemed or Treasury has transferred them to third parties. Since we have never paid dividends on our common stock, this would be considered an “increase in dividends”. Also, all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A for all past dividend periods would have to be fully paid.
 
Risks Associated With Our Industry
 
The earnings of financial services companies are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions.  As a financial services company, our operations and profitability are impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuation in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which we operate, all of which are beyond our control. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for our products and services, among other things, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operation and financial condition.
 
Financial services companies depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties.  In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, we may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance

on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial information could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our results of operations and financial condition.
 
We compete in an industry that continually experiences technological change, and we may have fewer resources than many of our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.  The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes, with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services which our customers may require. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.
 
Consumers and businesses may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.  Technology and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks through alternative methods. The possibility of eliminating banks as intermediaries could result in the loss of interest and fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2005, we discovered that we had inadvertently sold 16,361 shares of our common stock to our employees pursuant to our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in excess of the 160,000 shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The sale of the excess shares took place on June 30, 2005. The 16,361 shares represented less than one-tenth of one percent of the 25,616,829 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2005.
 
We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-138207) (the “Registration Statement”), pertaining to the registration of such 16,361 shares of common stock, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 25, 2006, and amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on November 14, 2006. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2006. The rescission offer for which we filed the Registration Statement has expired. Five stockholders representing 417 shares of common stock elected to accept our rescission offer. As a result of the rescission offer’s expiration pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Statement, we removed from registration 15,944 shares of common stock registered under the Registration

Statement which were not repurchased by us pursuant to the rescission offer as of February 1, 2007 (the date of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement).
 
On September 10, 2008, we completed a sale of 4 million shares of our common stock in a private placement to a number of institutional investors. The purchase price was $14.50 per share, and net proceeds from the sale totaled $55 million. The new capital will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital for support of anticipated growth of our bank.
 
We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-153547) pertaining to the registration of the 4 million shares of common stock sold in this private placement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2008. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2008

Overview of Our Business Operations
 
We commenced operations in December 1998. An important aspect of our growth strategy has been our ability to service and effectively manage a large number of loans and deposit accounts in multiple markets in Texas. Accordingly, we created an operations infrastructure sufficient to support state-wide lending and banking operations.
 
The following discussions and analyses present the significant factors affecting our financial condition as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and results of operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements appearing later in this report. Please also note the below description about our discontinued operations and how it is reflected in the following discussions of our financial condition and results of operations.
 
On October 16, 2006, we completed the sale of our residential mortgage lending division (RML). The sale was effective as of September 30, 2006, and, accordingly, all operating results for this discontinued component of our operations were reclassified to discontinued operations. All prior periods were restated to reflect the change. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2007, Texas Capital Bank and the purchaser of its residential mortgage loan division (RML) agreed to terminate and settle the contractual arrangements related to the sale of the division.
 
The loss from discontinued operations was $616,000 and $1.9 million, net of taxes, for the years 2008 and 2007, respectively. The 2008 losses are primarily related to continuing legal and salary expenses incurred in dealing with the remaining loans and requests from investors related to the repurchase of previously sold loans. We still have approximately $648,000 in loans held for sale from discontinued operations that are carried at the estimated market value at year-end, which is less than the original cost. We plan to sell these loans, but timing and price to be realized cannot be determined at this time due to market conditions. In addition, we continue to address requests from investors related to repurchasing loans previously sold. While the balances as of December 31, 2008 include a liability for exposure to additional contingencies, including risk of having to repurchase loans previously sold, we recognize that market conditions may result in additional exposure to loss and the extension of time necessary to complete the discontinued mortgage operation. Our mortgage

warehouse operations were not part of the sale, and are included in the results from continuing operations. Except as otherwise noted, all amounts and disclosures throughout this document reflect only the Company’s continuing operations.
 
On March 30, 2007, Texas Capital Bank completed the sale of its TexCap Insurance Services subsidiary; the sale was, accordingly, reported as a discontinued operation. Historical operating results of TexCap and the net after-tax gain of $1.09 million from the sale are reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements and schedules. All prior periods have been restated to reflect the change. Except as otherwise noted, all amounts and disclosures throughout this document reflect only the Company’s continuing operations.
 
Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to year ended December 31, 2007
 
We reported net income of $24.9 million, or $.89 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $31.4 million, or $1.18 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2007. Return on average equity was 7.46% and return on average assets was .55% for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 11.51% and .80%, respectively, for the same period in 2007.
 
Net income decreased $6.5 million, or 20.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of a $12.8 million increase in the provision for loan losses and an $11.1 million increase in non-interest expense, offset by an $11.9 million increase in net interest income and a $1.9 million increase in non-interest income and a $3.5 million decrease in income tax expense.
 
Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.
 
Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to year ended December 31, 2006
 
We reported net income of $31.4 million, or $1.18 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $29.0 million, or $1.10 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2006. Return on average equity was 11.51% and return on average assets was .80% for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to 12.62% and .88%, respectively, for the same period in 2006.
 
Net income increased $2.4 million, or 8.3%, for the year ended December 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily the result of a $22.6 million increase in net interest income and a $2.9 million increase in non-interest income, offset by a $10.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses, an $11.7 million increase in non-interest expense and a $1.4 million increase in income tax expense.
 
Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.
 
Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income was $151.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $139.8 million for the same period of 2007. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of $632.2 million in average earning assets, offset by a 28 basis point decrease in the net interest margin, which resulted from growth, asset sensitivity and the impact of the increase in non-accrual loans. The increase in average earning assets from 2007 included a $705.3 million increase in average net loans offset by an $84.5 million decrease in average securities. For the year ended December 31, 2008, average net loans and securities represented 91% and 9%, respectively, of average earning assets compared to 87% and 13%, respectively, in 2007.
 
Average interest bearing liabilities increased $495.5 million from the year ended December 31, 2007, which included a $99.4 million increase in interest bearing deposits and a $396.1 million increase in other borrowings. For the same periods, the average balance of demand deposits increased slightly to $529.5 million from $463.1 million. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased from 4.76% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 2.67% in 2008, reflecting the significant decline in interest rates during 2008. Of the increase in average interest bearing liabilities, total borrowings grew due to combined effects of maturities of transaction-specific deposits and strong loan growth during 2008.
 
Net interest income was $139.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $117.2 million for the same period of 2006. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of $604.9 million

in average earning assets, offset by a 2 basis point decrease in the net interest margin, which resulted from the repricing of our earning assets with decreasing rates and change in our funding mix. The increase in average earning assets from 2006 included a $690.8 million increase in average net loans offset by an $86.5 million decrease in average securities. For the year ended December 31, 2007, average net loans and securities represented 87% and 13%, respectively, of average earning assets compared to 82% and 18%, respectively, in 2006.
 
Average interest bearing liabilities increased $553.0 million from the year ended December 31, 2006, which included a $414.4 million increase in interest bearing deposits and a $99.7 million decrease in other borrowings. For the same periods, the average balance of demand deposits increased slightly to $463.1 million from $462.3 million. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased from 4.61% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 4.76% in 2007, reflecting the shift in interest bearing liabilities. Of the increase in average interest bearing liabilities, total borrowings grew due to combined effects of maturities of transaction-specific deposits and strong loan growth during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Net interest margin, the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets, decreased from 3.82% in 2007 to 3.54% in 2008. This decrease was due primarily to the decline in contribution of free funds, including demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, to the margin. While the yield on earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities both decreased by 209 basis points, leaving the net interest spread unchanged, the contribution of free funds declined 28 basis points in a declining rate environment.
 
Net interest margin, the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets, decreased from 3.84% in 2006 to 3.82% in 2007. This decrease was due primarily to a 17 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets coupled with a 15 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities.

Non-interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 9.2%, during the year ended December 31, 2008 to $22.5 million, compared to $20.6 million during the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in brokered loan fees, which increased $1.3 million to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2007 due to an increase in our mortgage warehouse volume. Service charges increased $608,000 to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2007 due to lower earnings credit rates and an increase in fees.
 
Non-interest income increased by $2.9 million, or 16.4%, during the year ended December 31, 2007 to $20.6 million, compared to $17.7 million during the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in equipment rental income, which increased $2.2 million to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2006 related to expansion of our operating lease portfolio. Trust income increased by $900,000 to $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2006 due to continued growth in trust assets. Brokered loan fees decreased $159,000 to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2006, primarily related to the reduced contribution from mortgage warehouse. Also included in the reduced contribution from mortgage warehouse is $1.3 million of mortgage loan mark to market adjustments which are included in other non-interest income.
 
While management expects continued growth in non-interest income, the future rate of growth could be affected by increased competition from nationwide and regional financial institutions. In order to achieve continued growth in non-interest income, we may need to introduce new products or enter into new markets. Any new product introduction or new market entry could place additional demands on capital and managerial resources.

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $11.1 million compared to the same period of 2007. This increase is due primarily to a $4.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits resulting primarily from growth.
 
Occupancy expense increased by $1.2 million to $9.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 and is related to expansion of leased facilities to support our general business growth.
 
Legal and professional expenses increased $2.4 million, or 33.3%, mainly related to general business growth, and continued regulatory and compliance costs. Regulatory and compliance costs continue to be a factor in our expense growth and we anticipate that they will continue to increase.
 
Other non-interest expense increased $3.3 million, or 22%, compared to the same period in 2007 mainly related to a $1.4 million increase in ORE-related expenses. We expect other non-interest expense to continue to increase as a result of the increase in FDIC assessments beginning in 2009.
 
Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased $11.7 million compared to the same period of 2006. This increase is due primarily to a $6.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, of which $1.9 million relates to increased compensation expense related to share-based awards accounted for under FAS 123R. The remaining increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted from growth.
 
Occupancy expense increased by $447,000 million to $8.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 and is related to our general business growth. Leased equipment depreciation increased $1.9 million to $5.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007, from $3.1 million in 2006 related to expansion of our operating lease portfolio.
 
Legal and professional expenses increased $759,000, or 11.7%, mainly related to growth and increased cost of compliance with laws and regulations. Regulatory and compliance costs continue to be a factor in our expense growth and we anticipate that they will continue to increase. Communications and data processing expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased $227,000, or 7.3% as a result of growth and some improvements in technology.
 
Analysis of Financial Condition
 
Loan Portfolio
 
Our loan portfolio has grown at an annual rate of 36%, 25% and 24% in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, reflecting the build-up of our lending operations. Our business plan focuses primarily on lending to middle market businesses and high net worth individuals, and as such, commercial and real estate loans have comprised a majority of our loan portfolio since we commenced operations, comprising 72% of total loans at December 31, 2008. Construction loans have decreased from 20% of the portfolio at December 31, 2004 to 15% of the portfolio at December 31, 2008. Consumer loans generally have represented 1% or less of the portfolio from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2008. Loans held for sale, which relates to our mortgage warehouse operations and are principally mortgage loans being warehoused for sale (typically within 30 days), fluctuate based on the level of market demand in the product. Due to market conditions experienced in the mortgage industry, some loans have not been sold within the normal timeframe. As a result, we have transferred some loans to the loans held for investment portfolio. Loans are transferred at a lower of cost or market basis.
 
We originate substantially all of the loans held in our portfolio, except participations in residential mortgage loans held for sale, select loan participations and syndications, which are underwritten independently by us prior to purchase, and certain USDA and SBA government guaranteed loans that we purchase in the secondary market.

We continue to lend primarily in Texas. As of December 31, 2008, a substantial majority of the principal amount of the loans held for investment in our portfolio was to businesses and individuals in Texas. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions in Texas. See the table on page 4 of this document that details the distribution of our funded loans among various industries at December 31, 2008. The risks created by these concentrations have been considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover estimated losses on loans at each balance sheet date.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience
 
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the reserve for loan losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of the collectibility of the loan portfolio in light of current economic conditions and market trends. We recorded a provision of $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, and $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
The reserve for loan losses is comprised of specific reserves for impaired loans and an estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date, but not yet identified with specified loans. We regularly evaluate our reserve for loan losses to maintain an adequate level to absorb estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Factors contributing to the determination of reserves include the credit worthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral, and general economic conditions. All loan commitments rated substandard or worse and greater than $1,000,000 are specifically reviewed for impairment. For loans deemed to be impaired, a specific allocation is assigned based on the losses expected to be realized from those loans. For purposes of determining the general reserve, the portfolio is segregated by product types to


33


Table of Contents

recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. Credit grades are assigned to all loans greater than $50,000. Each credit grade is assigned a risk factor, or reserve allocation percentage. These risk factors are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance and risk-weighted by product type to calculate the required reserve. A similar process is employed to calculate that portion of the required reserve assigned to unfunded loan commitments. Even though portions of the allowance may be allocated to specific loans, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
 
The reserve allocation percentages assigned to each credit grade have been developed based primarily on an analysis of our historical loss rates, and historical loss rates at selected peer banks, adjusted for certain qualitative factors. Qualitative adjustments for such things as general economic conditions, changes in credit policies and lending standards, and changes in the trend and severity of problem loans, can cause the estimation of future losses to differ from past experience. In addition, the reserve considers the results of reviews performed by independent third party reviewers as reflected in their confirmations of assigned credit grades within the portfolio. The portion of the allowance that is not derived by the allowance allocation percentages compensates for the uncertainty and complexity in estimating loan and lease losses including factors and conditions that may not be fully reflected in the determination and application of the allowance allocation percentages. We evaluate many factors and conditions in determining the unallocated portion of the allowance, including the economic and business conditions affecting key lending areas, credit quality trends and general growth in the portfolio. The allowance is considered adequate and appropriate, given management’s assessment of potential losses within the portfolio as of the evaluation date, the significant growth in the loan and lease portfolio, current economic conditions in the Company’s market areas and other factors.
 
The methodology used in the periodic review of reserve adequacy, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and anticipated future credit losses. The changes are reflected in the general reserve and in specific reserves as the collectibility of larger classified loans is evaluated with new information. As our portfolio has matured, historical loss ratios have been closely monitored, and our reserve adequacy relies primarily on our loss history. Currently, the review of reserve adequacy is performed by executive management and presented to our board of directors for their review, consideration and ratification on a quarterly basis.
 
The reserve for loan losses, which is available to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, totaled $46.8 million at December 31, 2008, $32.8 million at December 31, 2007 and $21.0 million at December 31, 2006. The reserve percentage increased to 1.16% at year-end 2008 from 0.95% and 0.77% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2008, we believe the reserve is sufficient to cover all expected losses in the portfolio and has been derived from consistent application of the methodology described above.

(1) The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. If collectibility is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. If these loans had been current throughout their terms, interest and fees on loans would have increased by approximately $3.5 million, $999,000 and $518,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

cancelled insurance policies. The refund of premiums from the insurance carriers can take 180 days or longer from the cancellation date.
 
(4) At December 31, 2008, non-performing assets include $4.4 million of mortgage warehouse loans which were transferred to the loans held for investment portfolio at lower of cost or market during the past eighteen months, and some were subsequently moved to other real estate owned.

(2) At December 31, 2008, loans past due 90 days and still accruing includes premium finance loans of $2.1 million. These loans are generally secured by obligations of insurance carriers to refund premiums on cancelled insurance policies. The refund of premiums from the insurance carriers can take 180 days or longer from the cancellation date.
 
(3) At December 31, 2008, non-performing assets include $4.4 million of mortgage warehouse loans which were transferred to our loans held for investment portfolio at lower of cost or market during the past eighteen months, and some were subsequently moved to other real estate owned.
 
At December 31, 2008, our total non-accrual loans were $47.5 million. Of these, $15.7 million were characterized as commercial loans. This included $6.1 million in commercial real estate loans for investment properties secured by single-family residences, $4.4 million in manufacturing loans secured by the assets of the borrower, $2.7 million in auto dealer loans secured by the borrower’s accounts receivable and inventory, and a $1.1 million unsecured loan. Non-accrual loans also included $6.2 million characterized as real estate loans, and includes a $3.3 million real estate loan secured by retail property. Non-accrual loans also included $22.4 million characterized as construction loans. This included an $8.9 million residential real estate development loan secured by fully-developed residential lots and unimproved land. Also included in this category is a $5.1 million commercial real estate loan secured by unimproved land, a $3.8 million commercial real estate loan secured by retail property and a $1.7 million commercial real estate loan secured by unimproved lots. Each of these loans were reviewed for impairment and specific reserves were allocated as necessary and included in the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2008 to cover any probable loss.
 
At December 31, 2008, our ORE totaled $25.9 million. This included commercial real estate property consisting of single family residences and a mix of lots at various levels of completion valued at $7.7 million, an unimproved commercial real estate lot valued at $7.5 million, an unimproved commercial real estate lot valued at $2.9 million and commercial real estate property consisting of single family residences valued at $5.0 million.
 
Reserves on impaired loans were $13.1 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2007 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2006. We recognized $23,000 in interest income on non-accrual loans during 2008 compared to $44,000 in 2007 none in 2006. Additional interest income that would have been recorded if the loans had been current during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled $3.5 million, $999,000 and $518,000, respectively.
 
Generally, we place loans on non-accrual when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. If collectibility is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. As of December 31, 2008, approximately $999,000 of our non-accrual loans were earning on a cash basis.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the original loan agreement. Reserves on impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral.
 
Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms, but for which we have concerns about the borrower’s ability to comply with repayment terms because of the borrower’s potential financial difficulties. We monitor these loans closely and review their performance on a regular basis. At December 31, 2008, we had $22.5 million loans of this type, which were not included in either the non-accrual or 90 days past due categories.
 
Securities Portfolio
 
Securities are identified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale based upon various factors, including asset/liability management strategies, liquidity and profitability objectives, and regulatory requirements. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts.


37


Table of Contents

Available-for-sale securities are securities that may be sold prior to maturity based upon asset/liability management decisions. Securities identified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity, net of taxes. Amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts on mortgage-backed securities is periodically adjusted for estimated prepayments.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we maintained an average securities portfolio of $391.3 million compared to an average portfolio of $475.8 million for the same period in 2007. The December 31, 2008 portfolio is primarily comprised of mortgage-backed securities. The mortgage-backed securities in our portfolio at December 31, 2008 primarily consisted of government agency mortgage-backed securities.
 
Our net unrealized loss on the securities portfolio value decreased from a net loss of $1.4 million, which represented 0.29% of the amortized cost, at December 31, 2007, to a net gain of $2.9 million, which represented 0.77% of the amortized cost, at December 31, 2008. Changes in value reflect changes in market interest rates.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we maintained an average securities portfolio of $475.8 million compared to an average portfolio of $562.3 million for the same period in 2006. The December 31, 2007 portfolio is primarily comprised of mortgage-backed securities. The mortgage-backed securities in our portfolio at December 31, 2007 primarily consisted of government agency mortgage-backed securities.
 
Our net unrealized loss on the securities portfolio value decreased from a net loss of $8.0 million, which represented 1.49% of the amortized cost, at December 31, 2006, to a net loss of $1.4 million, which represented 0.29% of the amortized cost, at December 31, 2007. The Company does not believe these unrealized losses are “other than temporary” as (1) the Company has the ability and intent to hold the investments to maturity, or a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value; and (2) it is not probable that the Company will be unable to collect the amounts contractually due. The unrealized losses noted are interest rate related due to rising rates at December 31, 2007 in relation to previous rates in 2006. The Company has not identified any issues related to the ultimate repayment of principal as a result of credit concerns on these securities.
 
The average expected life of the mortgage-backed securities was 2.7 years at December 31, 2008 and 3.1 years at December 31, 2007. The effect of possible changes in interest rates on our earnings and equity is discussed under “Interest Rate Risk Management.”
 
The following presents the amortized cost and fair values of the securities portfolio at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

We believe the investment securities in the table above are within ranges customary for the banking industry. At December 31, 2008, the number of investment positions in this unrealized loss position totals 53. We do not believe these unrealized losses are “other than temporary” as (1) we have the ability and intent to hold the investments to maturity, or a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value; and (2) it is not probable that we will be unable to collect the amounts contractually due. The unrealized losses noted are interest rate related, and losses have decreased as rates have decreased in 2008. We have not identified any issues related to the ultimate repayment of principal as a result of credit concerns on these securities.
 
Deposits
 
We compete for deposits by offering a broad range of products and services to our customers. While this includes offering competitive interest rates and fees, the primary means of competing for deposits is convenience and service to our customers. However, our strategy to provide service and convenience to customers does not include a large branch network. Our bank offers nine banking centers, courier services and online banking. BankDirect, the Internet division of our bank, serves its customers on a 24 hours-a-day/7 days-a-week basis solely through Internet banking.
 
Average deposits for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $165.8 million compared to the same period of 2007. Average demand deposits, interest bearing transaction and time deposits (including deposits in foreign branches) increased by $66.3 million, $8.6 million and $137.6 million, respectively, while savings deposits decreased $46.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The average cost of deposits decreased in 2008 mainly due to decreasing market interest rates during 2008.
 
Average deposits for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased $415.3 million compared to the same period of 2006. Average demand deposits, savings and time deposits increased by $863,000, $75.6 million and $347.3 million, respectively, while average interest bearing transaction accounts decreased $8.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The average cost of deposits increased in 2007 mainly due to higher market interest rates.

As with our loan portfolio, most of our deposits are from businesses and individuals in Texas, particularly the Dallas metropolitan area. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 73% of our deposits originated out of our Dallas metropolitan banking centers. Uninsured deposits at December 31, 2008 were 40% of total deposits, compared to 50% of total deposits at December 31, 2007 and 54% of total deposits at December 31, 2006. The presentation for 2008, 2007 and 2006 does reflect combined ownership, but does not reflect all of the account styling that would determine insurance based on FDIC regulations.
 
At December 31, 2008, approximately 3.75% of our total deposits were comprised of a number of short-term maturity deposits from a single municipal entity. We use these funds to increase our net interest income from excess securities that we pledge as collateral for these deposits.
 
At December 31, 2008, we had $341.2 million in interest bearing time deposits of $100,000 or more in foreign branches related to our Cayman Islands branch.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objective in managing our liquidity is to maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies, which are formulated and monitored by our senior management and our Balance Sheet Management Committee (BSMC), and which take into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our principal source of funding has been our customer deposits, supplemented by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased from our downstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are considered to be smaller than our bank) and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings.

Since early 2001, our liquidity needs have primarily been fulfilled through growth in our core customer deposits. Our goal is to obtain as much of our funding as possible from deposits of these core customers, which as of December 31, 2008, comprised $2,507.0 million, or 75.2%, of total deposits, compared to $3,061.3 million, or 99.8%, of total deposits, at December 31, 2007. These deposits are generated principally through development of long-term relationships with customers and stockholders and our retail network which is mainly through BankDirect.
 
In addition to deposits from our core customers, we also have access to incremental deposits through brokered retail certificates of deposit, or CDs. As of December 31, 2008, brokered retail CDs comprised $826.2 million, or 24.8%, of total deposits. We believe the Company has access to sources of brokered deposits of not less than $1.7 billion.
 
Additionally, we have borrowing sources available to supplement deposits and meet our funding needs. These borrowing sources include federal funds purchased from our downstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are smaller than our bank) and from our upstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are larger than our bank), customer repurchase agreements, treasury, tax and loan notes, and advances from the FHLB. The following tables summarize our borrowings:

In connection with the FDIC’s Temporary Liability Guarantee Program (“TLGP”), the Bank has the capacity to issue up to $1.1 billion in indebtedness which will be guaranteed by the FDIC. We would issue any notes prior to June 30, 2009 with maturities no later than June 30, 2012.
 
On September 27, 2007, we entered into a Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association. This Credit Agreement permits revolving borrowings of up to $50 million and matured on September 24, 2008. At our option, the unpaid principal balance on the Credit Agreement as of September 24, 2008 was converted into a two-year term loan, which will accrue interest at the same rate(s) as the revolving loans existing on such date. The Credit Agreement permits multiple borrowings that may bear interest at the prime rate minus 1.25% or the LIBOR plus 1% at our election. The Credit Agreement is unsecured and proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions. At

December 31, 2008, we had drawn $50.0 million, $10.0 million of which matures in 2009 and is included in other short-term borrowings. The remaining $40.0 million matures in September of 2010 and is, therefore, included in long-term borrowings.
 
From November 2002 to September 2006 various Texas Capital Statutory Trusts were created and subsequently issued fixed and/or floating rate Capital Securities in various private offerings totaling $113.4 million.

(1) Interest rate is a fixed rate of 6.19% for five years through December 15, 2010, and a floating rate of interest for the remaining 25 years that resets quarterly to 1.51% above the three-month LIBOR.
 
After deducting underwriter’s compensation and other expenses of each offering, the net proceeds were available to the Company to increase capital and for general corporate purposes, including use in investment and lending activities. Interest payments on all subordinated debentures are deductible for federal income tax purposes.
 
Our equity capital averaged $333.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $272.3 million in 2007 and $229.7 million in 2006. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since we commenced operations and have no plans to do so in the future.
 
On September 10, 2008, we completed a sale of 4 million shares of our common stock in a private placement to a number of institutional investors. The purchase price was $14.50 per share, and net proceeds from the sale totaled $55 million. The new capital will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital for support of anticipated growth of our bank.
 
On January 16, 2009, we completed the issuance of $75 million of perpetual preferred stock and related warrants under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s voluntary Capital Purchase Program. In November 2008, we applied for up to $130 million of additional capital under the Program. After receiving approval for the $130 million, we determined that we would accept $75 million under the Program. This capital will supplement the $55 million of common equity we raised in September 2008, strengthening our position in a difficult economic environment. We were well capitalized under regulatory guidelines prior the capital additions, but the $130 million from the two transactions will add strength to our already well capitalized position and position us to grow organically with the addition of quality loan and deposit relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
SEC guidance requires disclosure of “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that are most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results,

Table of Contents

and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The more significant of these policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Not all these significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. However, the policy noted below could be deemed to meet the SEC’s definition of critical accounting policies.
 
Management considers the policies related to the allowance for loan losses as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for loan losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific reserves assigned to certain classified loans and general reserves. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the credit-worthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected future receipt of principal and interest payments and/or in the value of pledged collateral. A reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. For purposes of determining the general reserve, the portfolio is segregated by product types in order to recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. See “Summary of Loan Loss Experience” for further discussion of the risk factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

ITEM 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. Additionally, the financial instruments subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading purposes or held for other than trading.
 
We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets held for purposes other than trading. The effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and/or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to us.
 
The responsibility for managing market risk rests with the Balance Sheet Management Committee (“BSMC”), which operates under policy guidelines established by our board of directors. The negative acceptable variation in net interest revenue due to a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates is generally limited by these guidelines to +/- 5%. These guidelines also establish maximum levels for short-term borrowings, short-term assets and public and brokered deposits. They also establish minimum levels for unpledged assets, among other things. Compliance with these guidelines is the ongoing responsibility of the BSMC, with exceptions reported to our board of directors on a quarterly basis.
 
Interest Rate Risk Management
 
Our interest rate sensitivity is illustrated in the following table. The table reflects rate-sensitive positions as of December 31, 2008, and is not necessarily indicative of positions on other dates. The balances of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are presented in the periods in which they next reprice to market rates or mature and are aggregated to show the interest rate sensitivity gap. The mismatch between repricings or maturities


46


Table of Contents

within a time period is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite results on the net interest margin. To reflect anticipated prepayments, certain asset and liability categories are shown in the table using estimated cash flows rather than contractual cash flows. At the record low levels of interest rates that we are currently experiencing, costs of certain categories of interest bearing deposits and other liabilities will not move lower in reaction to the market rates, resulting in an increase in the positive gap and reduction in net interest margin. In addition, the economic value of interest-free sources of funds, such as demand deposits and equity is reduced when rates have decreased to such low levels.

The table above sets forth the balances as of December 31, 2008 for interest bearing assets, interest bearing liabilities, and the total of non-interest bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity. While a gap interest table is useful in analyzing interest rate sensitivity, an interest rate sensitivity simulation provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. Earnings are also affected by the effects of changing

Table of Contents

interest rates on the value of funding derived from demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. We perform a sensitivity analysis to identify interest rate risk exposure on net interest income. We quantify and measure interest rate risk exposure using a model to dynamically simulate the effect of changes in net interest income relative to changes in interest rates and account balances over the next twelve months based on three interest rate scenarios. These are a “most likely” rate scenario and two “shock test” scenarios.
 
The “most likely” rate scenario is based on the consensus forecast of future interest rates published by independent sources. These forecasts incorporate future spot rates and relevant spreads of instruments that are actively traded in the open market. The Federal Reserve’s Federal Funds target affects short-term borrowing; the prime lending rate and the LIBOR are the basis for most of our variable-rate loan pricing. The 10-year mortgage rate is also monitored because of its effect on prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities. These are our primary interest rate exposures. We are currently not using derivatives to manage our interest rate exposure.
 
The two “shock test” scenarios assume a sustained parallel 200 basis point increase or decrease, respectively, in interest rates. As short-term rates continued to fall during 2008, we could not assume interest rate changes of any amount as the results of the decreasing rates scenario would not be meaningful. Therefore, our “shock test” scenarios with respect to decreases only apply to December 31, 2007. We will continue to evaluate these scenarios as interest rates change, until short-term rates rise above 3.0%.
 
Our interest rate risk exposure model incorporates assumptions regarding the level of interest rate or balance changes on indeterminable maturity deposits (demand deposits, interest bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts) for a given level of market rate changes. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. Changes in prepayment behavior of mortgage-backed securities, residential and commercial mortgage loans in each rate environment are captured using industry estimates of prepayment speeds for various coupon segments of the portfolio. The impact of planned growth and new business activities is factored into the simulation model. This modeling indicated interest rate sensitivity as follows:
 
                         
    Anticipated Impact Over the Next Twelve Months
 
    as Compared to Most Likely Scenario  
    200 bp Increase
    200 bp Increase
    200 bp Decrease
 
(in thousands)   December 31, 2008     December 31, 2007     December 31, 2007  
 
 
Change in net interest income
  $ 17,255     $ 13,706     $ (4,487 )
 
The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

1.   Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization and Nature of Business
 
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (Texas Capital Bancshares or the Company), a Delaware bank holding company, was incorporated in November 1996 and commenced operations in March 1998. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Texas Capital Bank, National Association (the Bank). The Bank was formed on December 18, 1998 through the acquisition of Resource Bank, National Association (Resource Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Substantially all business is conducted through the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Bank currently provides commercial banking services to its customers in Texas and concentrates on middle market commercial and high net worth customers.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2008 presentation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for possible loan losses, the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, the fair values of financial instruments and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
 
Securities
 
Securities are classified as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Management classifies securities at the time of purchase and re-assesses such designation at each balance sheet date; however, transfers between categories from this re-assessment are rare.
 
Trading Account
 
Securities acquired for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as trading, with realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in income. To date, we have not had any activity in our trading account.
 
Held-to-Maturity and Available-for-Sale
 
Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading and marketable equity securities not classified as trading are classified as available-for-sale.
 
Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in gain (loss) on sale of securities. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

All securities are available-for-sale as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
Loans
 
Loans held for investment (which include equipment leases accounted for as financing leases) are stated at the amount of unpaid principal reduced by deferred income (net of costs). Interest on loans is recognized using the simple-interest method on the daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, and commitment fees, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan, or over the commitment period, as applicable.
 
A loan held for investment is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement. Reserves on impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
 
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining book balance of the asset is deemed to be collectible. If collectibility is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. A loan is placed back on accrual status when both principal and interest are current and it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement.
 
We purchase participations in mortgage loans primarily for sale in the secondary market through our mortgage warehouse division. Accordingly, these loans are classified as held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, determined on an aggregate basis. As a result of dislocations in the mortgage industry starting in 2007, some loan participations may not be sold within the normal time frames or at previously negotiated prices. Due to market conditions, certain mortgage warehouse loans have been transferred to our loans held for investment portfolio, and such loans are transferred at a lower of cost or market. Mortgage warehouse loans transferred to our loans held for investment portfolio could require allocations of the allowance for loan losses or be subject to charge off in the event the loans become impaired.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against income. The allowance for loan losses includes specific reserves for impaired loans and an estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, but not yet identified with specific loans. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an assessment of the current loan portfolio, including known inherent risks, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers’ ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions.
 
Repossessed Assets
 
Repossessed assets, which are included in other assets on the balance sheet, consist of collateral that has been repossessed. Collateral that has been repossessed is recorded at fair value less selling costs prior to repossession. Writedowns are provided for subsequent declines in value and are recorded in other non-interest expense.
 
Other Real Estate Owned
 
Other real estate owned, which is included in other assets on the balance sheet, consists of real estate that has been foreclosed. Real estate that has been foreclosed is recorded at fair value less selling costs prior to

foreclosure. Writedowns are provided for subsequent declines in value and are recorded in other non-interest expense.
 
Premises and Equipment
 
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years. Gains or losses on disposals of premises and equipment are included in results of operations.
 
Marketing and Software
 
Marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Ongoing maintenance and enhancements of websites are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with development or purchase of internal use software are capitalized and amortized over a period not to exceed five years. Internal use software costs are included in other assets in the consolidated financial statements.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets are acquired assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. Our intangible assets relate primarily to loan customer relationships. Goodwill and intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated life. Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
 
Segment Reporting
 
We have determined that all of our lending divisions and subsidiaries meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131 “Segment Disclosures and Related Information,” since all offer similar products and services, operate with similar processes, and have similar customers.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
On January 1, 2006, we changed our accounting policy related to stock-based compensation in connection with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004)” (“SFAS 123R”). Prior to adoption, we accounted for stock plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. No stock-based compensation was reflected in net income, as all option grants had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB 25 and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation expense in the statement of operations based on their fair values on the measurement date, which is the date of the grant. We transitioned to fair value based accounting for stock-based compensation using a modified version of prospective application (“modified prospective application”). Under modified prospective application, as it is applicable to us, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation expense for the portion of awards for which the requisite period has not been rendered (generally referring to nonvested awards) that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006 are being recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during and after the period of adoption of SFAS 123R.
 
The compensation expense for the earlier awards is based on the same method and on the same grant date fair values previously determined for the pro forma disclosures required for all companies that did not previously adopt the fair value accounting method for stock-based compensation.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Unrealized gains or losses on our available-for-sale securities (after applicable income tax expense or benefit) are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. We utilize the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the values of the assets and liabilities as reflected in the financial statements and their related tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As changes in tax law or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation reserve is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized.
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per common share is based on net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding non-vested stock. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of stock options and non-vested stock awards granted using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the weighted-average shares used in calculating basic earnings per common share and the weighted average common shares used in calculating diluted earnings per common share for the reported periods is provided in Note 13 — Earnings Per Share.
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future business or the value of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on our financial statements except for the expanded disclosures noted in Note 19 - Fair Value Disclosures.

At December 31, 2008, the number of investment positions in this unrealized loss position totals 53. We do not believe these unrealized losses are “other than temporary” as (1) we have the ability and intent to hold the investments to maturity, or a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value; and (2) it is not probable that we will be unable to collect the amounts contractually due. The unrealized losses noted are interest rate related, and losses have decreased as rates have decreased in 2008. We have not identified any issues related to the ultimate repayment of principal as a result of credit concerns on these securities.

The majority of the loan portfolio is comprised of loans to businesses and individuals in Texas. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within this area. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover estimated losses on loans at each balance sheet date.

(1) The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. If collectibility is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. If these loans had been current throughout their terms, interest and fees on loans would have increased by approximately $3.5 million, $999,000 and $518,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
(2) At December 31, 2008, loans past due 90 days and still accruing includes premium finance loans of $2.1 million. These loans are generally secured by obligations of insurance carriers to refund premiums on cancelled insurance policies. The refund of premiums from the insurance carriers can take 180 days or longer from the cancellation date.
 
(3) At December 31, 2008, non-performing assets include $4.4 million of mortgage warehouse loans which were transferred to our loans held for investment portfolio at lower of cost or market during the past eighteen months, and some were subsequently moved to other real estate owned.

At December 31, 2008, our total non-accrual loans were $47.5 million. Of these, $15.7 million were characterized as commercial loans. This included $6.1 million in commercial real estate loans for investment properties secured by single-family residences, $4.4 million in manufacturing loans secured by the assets of the borrower, $2.7 million in auto dealer loans secured by the borrower’s accounts receivable and inventory, and a $1.1 million unsecured loan. Non-accrual loans also included $6.2 million characterized as real estate loans, and includes a $3.3 million real estate loan secured by retail property. Non-accrual loans also included $22.4 million characterized as construction loans. This included an $8.9 million residential real estate development loan secured by fully-developed residential lots and unimproved land. Also included in this category is a $5.1 million commercial real estate loan secured by unimproved land, a $3.8 million commercial real estate loan secured by retail property and a $1.7 million commercial real estate loan secured by unimproved lots. Each of these loans were reviewed for impairment and specific reserves were allocated as necessary and included in the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2008 to cover any probable loss.
 
At December 31, 2008, our ORE totaled $25.9 million. This included commercial real estate property consisting of single family residences and a mix of lots at various levels of completion valued at $7.7 million, an unimproved commercial real estate lot valued at $7.5 million, an unimproved commercial real estate lot valued at $2.9 million and commercial real estate property consisting of single family residences valued at $5.0 million.
 
Reserves on impaired loans were $13.1 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2007 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2006. We recognized $23,000 in interest income on non-accrual loans during 2008 compared to $44,000 in 2007 and none in 2006. Additional interest income that would have been recorded if the loans had been current during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled $3.5 million, $999,000 and $518,000, respectively. Average impaired loans outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled $26,746,000, $9,860,000 and $6,082,000, respectively.
 
Generally, we place loans on non-accrual when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. If collectibility is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. As of December 31, 2008, approximately $999,000 of our non-accrual loans were earning on a cash basis.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement.
 
Reserves on impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral.
 
During the normal course of business, the Company and subsidiary may enter into transactions with related parties, including their officers, employees, directors, significant stockholders and their related affiliates. It is the Company’s policy that all such transactions are on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties. Loans to related parties, including officers and directors, were approximately $15,295,000 and $15,082,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, total advances were approximately $27,807,000 and $15,286,000 and total paydowns were $27,594,000 and $4,860,000, respectively.

On September 27, 2007, we entered into a Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association. This Credit Agreement permits revolving borrowings of up to $50 million and matured on September 24, 2008. At our option, the unpaid principal balance on the Credit Agreement as of September 24, 2008 was converted into a two-year term loan, which will accrue interest at the same rate(s) as the revolving loans existing on such date. The Credit Agreement permits multiple borrowings that may bear interest at the prime rate minus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 1% at our election. The Credit Agreement is unsecured and proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions. At December 31, 2008, we had drawn $50 million, $10.0 million of which matures in 2009 and is included in other short-term borrowings. The remaining $40.0 million matures in September of 2010 and is, therefore, included in long-term borrowings.

(1) Interest rate is a fixed rate of 6.19% for five years through December 15, 2010, and a floating rate of interest for the remaining 25 years that resets quarterly to 1.51% above the three-month LIBOR.
 
After deducting underwriter’s compensation and other expenses of each offering, the net proceeds were available to the Company to increase capital and for general corporate purposes, including use in investment and lending activities. Interest payments on all subordinated debentures are deductible for federal income tax purposes.
 
9.   Income Taxes
 
We have a gross deferred tax asset of $26.7 million at December 31, 2008, which relates primarily to our allowance for loan losses, loan origination fees and stock compensation. Management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our net deferred tax asset is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
At December 31, 2007, we had a gross deferred tax asset of $21.0 million, which related primarily to our allowance for loan losses, loan origination fees and stock compensation.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” effective January 1, 2007. Interpretation 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of cumulative benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. Interpretation 48 also provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. Adoption of Interpretation 48 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
 
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several U.S. state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005.

10.   Employee Benefits
 
We have a qualified retirement plan, with a salary deferral feature designed to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the 401(k) Plan). The 401(k) Plan permits our employees to defer a portion of their compensation. Matching contributions may be made in amounts and at times determined by the Company. We contributed approximately $588,000, $323,000 and $397,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan when they meet certain requirements concerning minimum age and period of credited service. All contributions to the 401(k) Plan are invested in accordance with participant elections among certain investment options.
 
During 2000, we implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Employees are eligible for the plan when they have met certain requirements concerning period of credited service and minimum hours worked. Eligible employees may contribute a minimum of 1% to a maximum of 10% of eligible compensation up to the Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code limit of $25,000. We have allocated 160,000 shares to the plan. Effective December 30, 2005, the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was terminated. During January 2006, a new plan (“2006 ESPP”) was adopted that allocated 400,000 shares to the plan. The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was approved by stockholders at the 2006 annual meeting. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, 37,556 and 23,930 shares had been purchased on behalf of the employees under the 2006 ESPP.
 
As of December 31, 2008, we have two stock option plans, the 1999 Stock Omnibus Plan (“1999 Plan”) and the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”). The 1999 Plan is no longer available for grants of equity based compensation; however, options to purchase shares previously issued under the plan will remain outstanding and be subject to administration by our board of directors. Under the 2005 Plan, equity-based compensation grants were made by the board of directors, or its designated committee. Grants under the 2005 Plan are subject to vesting requirements. Under the 2005 Plan, we may grant, among other things, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, or any combination thereof. The 2005 Plan includes grants for employees and directors. Totals shares authorized under the plan for awards is 1,500,000. Total shares which may be issued under the 2005 Plan at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were 442,505, 510,749 and 695,902, respectively.
 
The fair value of our stock option and stock appreciation right (SAR) grants are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide the best single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

In connection with the 2005 Long-term Incentive Plan, stock appreciation rights were issued in 2008, 2007 and 2006. These rights are service-based and generally vest over a period of five years. Of the SARs granted in 2006, 300,312 were Performance Stock Appreciation Rights (PSARs) which were cancelled on December 31, 2008 as company performance targets were not met.

2006, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual life of RSUs currently outstanding is 5.37 years.
 
Total compensation cost for all share-based arrangements, net of taxes, was $3,063,000, $3,119,000 and $1,877,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options issued prior to adoption of SFAS 123R is $847,000 million, pre-tax. The weighted average period over which this unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized was 1.3 years. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to SAR grants issued during 2006, 2007 and 2008 is $4.7 million. At December 31, 2008, the weighted average period over which this unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized was 2.1 years. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSU grants during 2006, 2007 and 2008 is $9.8 million. At December 31, 2008, the weighted average period over which this unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized was 2.1 years.
 
Cash flows from financing activities included $4,527,000, $3,325,000 and $4,090,000 in cash inflows from excess tax benefits related to stock compensation in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The 2008 tax benefit realized from stock options exercised is $1,584,000, $1,164,000 and $1,431,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Upon share option exercise, new shares are issued as opposed to treasury shares.
 
In 1999, we entered into a deferred compensation agreement with one of our executive officers. The agreement allows the employee to elect to defer up to 100% of his compensation on an annual basis. All deferred compensation is invested in the Company’s common stock held in a rabbi trust. The stock is held in the name of the trustee, and the principal and earnings of the trust are held separate and apart from other funds of the Company, and are used exclusively for the uses and purposes of the deferred compensation agreement. The accounts of the trust have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company.
 
11.   Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit which involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.
 
Commitments to extend credit 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 may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

12.   Regulatory Restrictions
 
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2008, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
 
Financial institutions are categorized as well capitalized or adequately capitalized, based on minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the tables below. As shown below, the Bank’s capital ratios exceed the regulatory definition of well capitalized as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There have been no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. Based upon the information in its most recently filed call report, the Bank continues to meet the capital ratios necessary to be well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Dividends that may be paid by subsidiary banks are routinely restricted by various regulatory authorities. The amount that can be paid in any calendar year without prior approval of the Bank’s regulatory agencies cannot exceed the lesser of net profits (as defined) for that year plus the net profits for the preceding two calendar years, or retained earnings. No dividends were declared or paid during 2008, 2007 or 2006.
 
Pursuant to our participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program as described in Note 21, no dividends can be paid on common stock without the consent of the Treasury until the third anniversary of the date of the Series A perpetual preferred stock, unless all of those shares are redeemed or the Treasury has transferred them to third parties.
 
The required balance at the Federal Reserve at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $13,137,000 and $8,287,000, respectively.

Stock options are antidilutive when the exercise price is higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock.
 
14.   Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. This disclosure does not and is not intended to represent the fair value of the Company. In addition, see Note 19 for all disclosures required by SFAS No. 157.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.
 
Securities
 
The fair value of investment securities is based on prices obtained from independent pricing services which are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities.
 
Loans, net
 
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are generally based on carrying values. The fair value for other loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value. The carrying amount of loans held for sale approximates fair value.
 
Derivatives
 
The estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps are based on internal cash flow models supported by market data inputs.
 
Deposits
 
The carrying amounts for variable-rate money market accounts approximate their fair value. Fixed-term certificates of deposit fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities.
 
Federal funds purchased, other borrowings and trust preferred subordinated debentures
 
The carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet for federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings approximates their fair value. The fair value of term borrowings and trust preferred subordinated debentures is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar borrowings.

Off-balance sheet instruments
 
Fair values for our off-balance sheet instruments which consist of lending commitments and standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Management believes that the fair value of these off-balance sheet instruments is not significant.
 
15.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
We lease various premises under operating leases with various expiration dates. Rent expense incurred under operating leases amounted to approximately $4,981,000, $4,874,000 and $5,354,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

18.   Sale of Discontinued Operation — Residential Mortgage Lending and TexCap Insurance Services
 
On October 16, 2006, we completed the sale of its residential mortgage lending division (RML). The sale was effective as of September 30, 2006, and was, accordingly, reported as discontinued operations. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2007, Texas Capital Bank and the purchaser of its residential mortgage loan division (RML) agreed to terminate and settle the contractual arrangements related to the sale of the division. We will complete the exiting of RML’s activities. All accounts associated with this transaction have been reflected as discontinued operations. Our mortgage warehouse operations were not part of the sale, and are included in the results from continuing operations. During 2008, the loss from discontinued operations from RML was $616,000, net of taxes. The 2008 losses are primarily related to continuing legal and salary expenses incurred in dealing with the remaining loans and requests from investors related to the repurchase of previously sold loans. We still have approximately $648,000 in loans held for sale from discontinued

operations that are carried at estimated market value at December 31, 2008, which is less than the original cost. We plan to sell these loans, but timing and price to be realized cannot be determined at this time due to market conditions. In addition, we continue to address requests from investors related to repurchasing loans previously sold. While the balances as of December 31, 2008 include a liability for exposure to additional contingencies, including risk of having to repurchase loans previously sold, we recognize that market conditions may result in additional exposure to loss and the extension of time necessary to complete the discontinued mortgage operation.
 
On March 30, 2007, Texas Capital Bank completed the sale of its TexCap Insurance Services subsidiary; the sale is, accordingly, reported as a discontinued operation. Historical operating results of TexCap and the net after-tax gain of $1.09 million from the sale are reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements and schedules. All prior periods have been restated to reflect the change. Except as otherwise noted, all amounts and disclosures throughout this document reflect only the Company’s continuing operations.
 
The results of operations of the discontinued components are presented separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for 2008, 2007 and 2006, net of tax, following income from continuing operations. Details are presented in the following tables:

19.   Fair Value Disclosures
 
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on our financial statements except for the expanded disclosures noted below.
 
We determine the fair market values of our financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as provided below.
 
  Level 1   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets include US Treasuries that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
 
  Level 2   Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets include US government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate securities, municipal bonds, and Community Reinvestment Act funds. This category also includes impaired loans and OREO where collateral values have been based on third party appraisals and derivative assets and liabilities where values are based on internal cash flow models supported by market data inputs.
 
  Level 3   Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair values requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain mortgage loans that are transferred from loans held for sale to loans held for investment at a lower of cost or fair value.
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

(3) Other real estate owned is transferred from loans to OREO at the lower of cost or market.
 
(4) Fair value of loans and OREO is measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Table of Contents

 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans at December 31, 2008 with a carrying value of $33.2 million were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations totaling $6.4 to a total reported fair value of $26.8 million based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 2 valuation inputs.
 
Level 3 Valuations
 
Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Currently, we measure fair value for certain loans on a nonrecurring basis as described below.
 
Loans Certain mortgage loans that are transferred from loans held for sale to loans held for investment are valued based on third party broker pricing. As the dollar amount and number of loans being valued is very small, a comprehensive market analysis is not obtained or considered necessary. Instead, we conduct a general polling of one or more mortgage brokers for indications of general market prices for the types of mortgage loans being valued, and we consider values based on recent experience in selling loans of like terms and comparable quality. The total also includes impaired loans that have been measured for impairment at the fair value of the loan’s collateral based on a third party real estate appraisal.

The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in other assets and other liabilities in the accompaning consolidated balance sheets.
 
During 2008, we entered into certain interest rate derivative positions that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative positions relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with another financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, we agree to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows our customer to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because we act as an intermediary for our customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts substantially offset each other and do not have a material impact on our results of operations.
 
The notional amounts and estimated fair values of interest rate derivative positions outstanding at December 31, 2008 presented in the following table (in thousands):

Our credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net favorable value and interest payments of all swaps by each counterparty. In such cases collateral may be required from the counterparties involved if the net value of the swaps exceeds a nominal amount considered to be immaterial. Our credit exposure, net of any collateral pledged, relating to interest rate swaps was approximately $2.8 million at December 31, 2008, all of which relates to bank customers. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap values.
 
21.   Subsequent Event
 
On January 16, 2009, we completed the issuance of $75 million of Series A perpetual preferred stock and related warrants to the U.S. Department of Treasury under its voluntary Capital Purchase Program. The Series A perpetual preferred stock has a cumulative dividend of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum thereafter, unless redeemed. The liquidation amount is $1,000 per share. The warrants represent the right to purchase 758,086 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $14.84 per share.
 
22.   New Accounting Standards
 
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
 
SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB Statement No. 5,”  (“SFAS 160”) amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for us on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
 
SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,”  (“SFAS 161”) amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to amend and enhance the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features of the derivative instruments and their potential impact on an entity’s liquidity. SFAS 161 is effective for us on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We have established and maintain disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our subsidiaries required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. For the period covered in this report, we

carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.
 
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As of December 31, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on those criteria.
 
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. The report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, is included in this Item under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.
 
We have audited Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2008 consolidated financial statements of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. and our report dated February 18, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
