Very little seems to have been taken from Bank Texas's "history" section, other than some names and dates.

Let's compare:

Your text: Bank Texas (www.banktexas.org) traces its roots to 1905, when W. M. Lloyd founded a small, private bank in downtown Quitman, Texas. In 1908 the organization recieved a state charter and became First State Bank. Continuing to grow, on October 14, 1914, the bank was granted a national charter and BankTexas’s direct successor, The First National Bank of Quitman, was born.

You took several whole paragraphs from the bank's page. In the future please write your own contributions. Thanks. Rhobite 03:35, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

I tried to make some changes. I'm obviously new at this. Tell me what you think. I'm a student in Quitman, Texas, and am posting information about our area's largest business as part of a school project
