text: As discussed above, the financial statements of First Financial Bankshares, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and the 
  two years then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As described in Note 1, these 
  financial statements have been revised to include the transitional disclosures required by Statement of Financial 
  Accounting Standards No. 142,*Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets*, which was adopted by the Company as of 
  January 1, 2002. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 1 with respect to 2001 and 2000 
  included (a) agreeing the previously reported net income to the previously issued financial statements and the 
  adjustments to reported net income representing amortization expense including related tax effects recognized in 
  those periods related to goodwill to the Company’s underlying records obtained from management, and (b) testing 
  the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of adjusted net income to reported net income, and the related 
  earnings per share amounts. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 and 2000 are appropriate. However, we were 
  not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 and 2000 financial statements of the Company 
  other than with respect to such disclosures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of 
  assurance on the 2001 and 2000 financial statements taken as a whole.
