Houston Trust Company
Years before Bobby Gerry founded Caroline Lending, Bobby’s cousin Jim Elkins founded the Houston Trust Company. The Houston Trust Company has grown to be the largest private, non-bank trust company in the State of Texas. The firm began with $205 million in assets under management and today has fiduciary assets of over $9 billion.
If you are looking for trust management here in Texas, we highly recommend speaking with the Houston Trust Company. HTC has set the gold standard for trust management here in city of Houston and across the state. We are very happy to make the introductions.
