text: Bob Housley appreciates loyalty. 
  
  His company, Housley Communications, is a thriv- 
  ing business with a staff of 225 and contracting 
  relationships with over 700 ﬁrms. The company 
  provides engineering and implementation of 
  advanced telecommunications systems. “We pro- 
  vide everything a company needs to go from zero 
  to 100 percent.” 
  
  Success hasn’t necessarily been easy. “We had 
  some difﬁcult times when we were starting out in 
  the ’80s,” says Housley. “San Angelo National 
  Bank worked very diligently to help me get where 
  I am today. They stuck with me and were always 
  team players.” 
  
  Housley is a demanding customer – a trait to 
  which he credits much of his success. “I am very 
  customer service-oriented. It’s how I built my busi- 
  ness. I appreciate that I can get that same type of 
  dedication from San Angelo National Bank, and I 
  see it reflected throughout the First Financial 
  Bankshares organization.” 
  
  Housley the shareholder is no less demanding, but 
  he’s had good reason to be pleased with his 
  returns from First Financial Bankshares. “First 
  Financial’s expansion strategy is excellent – they 
  do their research and ﬁnd banks with good oppor- 
  tunity. Their operations are sound, and their growth 
  is well-managed. I believe they are one of the 
  best mid-size banking organizations around.”
