2027 Annual Assessment Reduction

Media Contact: media@dob.texas.gov PRESS RELEASE Date: August 27, 2026 2027 Annual Assessment Reduction Commissioner Charles G. Cooper announced today that the 2027 annual assessment, for the period of September 2026 through August 2027, will be reduced by at least 10% per quarter for all Texas state-chartered banks and foreign bank agencies and branches. Projections for fiscal year 2027 indicate additional revenue will not be needed to fund the Texas Department of Banking’s operations. The Department periodically reviews its budget position to determine if any additional reductions in assessments are warranted. The Department, headquartered in Austin, employs approximately 100 field examiners assigned to four regional offices in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Lubbock. As of August 27, 2026, Texas has 193 state-chartered banks controlling over $341.7 billion in assets. Additional information about the Department is available on its website.
