- What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
No loan amounts are stated on their website. - What is the APR, including fees, on your auto loans and home mortgages?
Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare. - What interest rate and fees should I expect on your farm loans and commercial real estate loans?
Their website does not state a rate for this. - Is there a minimum credit score, and do you consider borrowers with little or no credit history?
Their website does not say what credit history they accept. - Do you need collateral, a business plan or a minimum time in business?

| Loans as a share of assets | 57% | Median of the same 12 banks and bank holding companies: 61%. A higher share means more of its balance sheet is lent out. |

How these comparisons were worked out

| Call Report total assets | other certified banks and bank holding companies in Texas | 12 | larger than 42% |
| Loans held then vs now | certified banks and bank holding companies in Texas reporting both dates | 12 | rank 7 → 7 of 13 |
“Larger than X%” = the share of the peer group with a smaller value. Ranks count from the largest. Peer groups use the lender's home state when it has at least 5 peers, otherwise the whole country. Full definitions: methodology.
For comparison, not an offer and not a rating. Past records show what this lender did, not what you would be offered. Peer groups and sources: methodology. Assets and loans: FFIEC and NCUA Call Reports (see the loan-mix section).
