TexasBank Adds Three New Key Leaders

Curtis (Curt) Wilkinson joins the bank as Senior Vice President – Controller. He brings a wealth of financial and industry expertise to TexasBank’s financial and accounting team having served in similar capacities for several other successful, high growth large commercial banks over several decades.

Wilkinson earned his Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Oklahoma State University followed by a Master of Business Administration from Oklahoma City University, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. Outside of his professional accomplishments, Curt prioritizes family and philanthropy. He is actively involved in his community, serving on the Executive Board of Directors for the Boy Scouts of America Circle Ten Council, where he supports initiatives for youth development and community service.

“I could not be any more excited to join TexasBank, states Wilkinson. “This is a true community bank serving entrepreneurs, households and the folks who make the great State of Texas go around! Our leadership all has community banking roots and great aspirations for this institution. One of my favorite quotes is from my father, who said, “Endeavor to Persevere.” I take that to heart, and I look forward to deepening my existing banking connections, as well as forming new relationships as TexasBank continues its growth and expansion strategy.”

Angel DeLeon joins the bank as Vice President – Small Business Lender. She has nearly two decades of experience in commercial lending, with a specialized focus on Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) initiatives and financial support for small businesses in low-to-moderate-income communities.

Beyond her banking career, Angel is deeply committed to community engagement. She serves as Treasurer for the West Dallas Chamber of Commerce, where she oversees financial records and budgets for events and scholarships. Additionally, as Secretary on the Dallas College West Dallas Center Advisory Board, she contributes to initiatives supporting West Dallas families.

Angel shared her excitement for her new role with TexasBank stating, “my passion for small businesses led me to join TexasBank because they understand the role small businesses play in regional economic growth and how the bank is positioned to provide tailored, impactful, financial solutions.” She continued, “additionally, the Bank recognizes and leverages each employee’s unique strengths which assist in driving overall growth”. 

Austin Hughes also joins TexasBank as Vice President Credit Analyst Manager. Austin brings a wealth of experience in commercial credit management, policy development, and team leadership. His dedication to streamlining underwriting processes and enhancing organizational credit policies will be invaluable as TexasBank continues to strengthen its commercial lending presence across Texas.

Austin holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the University of North Texas, complemented by recently graduating from the School of Banking at Texas Tech University. His professional accomplishments are further enriched by his initiatives in employee development, including launching an internship and rotation program to foster the skills of emerging credit analysts.

“I joined TexasBank because of its commitment to growth, clear dedication to a people-first culture, and focus on serving its customers with excellence,” Austin stated. “I’m excited about my new role, where I can directly contribute to the bank's strong asset quality and further strengthen our underwriting processes as we continue to grow.”

Greg Dodds, TexasBank President and CEO, stated, “We are thrilled to welcome Curt, Angel, and Austin to TexasBank as we continue to grow our footprint in communities through West and Central Texas as well as the DFW area. Each of them brings a unique blend of knowledge and experience that will further diversify and strengthen our management teams.  That said, all are commonly aligned with TexasBank’s dedication to exceptional service and commitment to being a true community bank.  We look forward to the valuable contributions each will make as we continue to succeed and grow.”
