The new branch is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to open this summer.

First Financial Bank Eastland chairman, president and CEO Thomas O’Neil said that this new location will allow the bank to better serve its customers in Cisco and to provide greater convenience to them.

"Our decision to locate a branch in Cisco is based on our strong growth of customers in this area and from the community’s request for us to open a branch. Cisco has always been a vital part of our service area, and with this new location we look forward to becoming even more involved in the Cisco community," O’Neil said.

First Financial Bankshares is a financial holding company that operates 11 separately chartered banks with 52 locations in Texas.
