TCB San Antonio’s Laura Sandoval, Jesse Navarro and Jorge Saucedo represented TCB as a vendor for Christian Village’s 2nd annual Fiesta event last month. There was a great turnout…over 100 residents came out to celebrate. TCB provided cold drinks, Fiesta beads, TCB merchandise and handouts and bookmarks related to avoiding scams targeting seniors!

The Laredo Mortgage Department Staff presented and sponsored lunch at a First Time Homebuyers class this past Saturday at NeighborWorks Homeownership Center Laredo. The class included about 30 attendees. It was a productive class with lots of questions and involvement on behalf of the attendees. It’s heartwarming to be able to guide these individuals into homeownership which in our opinion is everyone’s dream.

Last weekend, TCB-Laredo Mortgage Lenders, Linda Pena and Guadalupe L Sandoval had the pleasure of participating in this years Neighbor Works Laredo Home Fair & Expo 2026. The event was held at Mall del Norte and the turn out was excellent. The ladies spent their time informing the attendees on how to get prequalified to buy a home and then the process of purchasing that home to help reach their American Dream!

In spite of miserable weather this morning, TCB-Somerset’s Diane Nieto worked with the San Antonio Food Bank to distribute food packages at the Somerset Senior Citizen Center, a daycare facility for the elderly. Simultaneous to sharing the food, she also instructed the clients regarding financial literacy. Both food security and financial illiteracy are challenges to a large percentage of our seniors and TCB does what we can to assist them with these critical challenges.

MaryAnn Akers, Branch Manager at Texas Community Bank - Somerset, was pleased to present the Somerset Education Foundation with a donation of $2,500 which will be used for granting scholarships to 2026 graduating Seniors.

Earlier today, TCB-McAllen’s Connie Gonzalez and Noemi Montes conducted a Financial Literacy Presentation at Austin Middle School in San Juan, TX. The presentation was delivered to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and focused on the importance of saving money, establishing credit, how to write a check and understanding banking products and services. The students were highly engaged, asking insightful questions throughout the session. A variety of topics were covered including tips for saving and the basics of credit and it was obvious that the students were eager to learn more about managing their finances.
To wrap up the presentation, the TCB ladies provided the students with a word search worksheet featuring key financial terms. They had fun with it and were excited to earn a small prize for completing the activity. TCB believes that FINANCIAL LITERACY is the key to future financial security for these students and their families!

This morning, TCB-Laredo Mortgage Lenders Linda Peña and Guadalupe Sandoval had the pleasure of delivering a $500 donation sponsored by the Bank to NeighborWorks Laredo.
