PlainsCapital Bank added a new lending team to serve the Denton area. Ernie McGee serves as president, James E. Posey and Alex Eysermans serve as senior vice presidents and commercial loan officers, while Kevin Hodge serves as commercial loan officer, and Jeanette Hoffman serves as senior lending assistant.

“PlainsCapital Bank is excited to welcome Ernie and his team as we expand our operations in North Texas,” said Texas Region Chairman Steve Hambrick. “The group has a wealth of financial services experience in the Denton market, which will enhance our ability to foster commercial and real estate relationships while serving our clients’ banking needs in the area.”

The new Denton banking group marks PlainsCapital’s latest expansion in Texas, after opening new branches in The Woodlands and Lubbock last year.

“PlainsCapital’s strong reputation and relationship-first approach have helped it to become one of the leading banks based in Texas,” McGee said. “I’m thrilled to join such a respected organization and continue serving the vibrant Denton community with a talented team by my side.”
