Incorporated, as our sales agent, in accordance with an equity distribution agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

     This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and certain other matters and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, gives more general information about us and the common stock offered hereby. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent the description of this offering in the prospectus supplement differs from the description of our common stock in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference filed prior to the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

     We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus and the offering of the common stock in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the common stock and the distribution of this prospectus outside the United States. This prospectus does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any common stock offered by this prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

     It is important for you to read and consider all information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, in making your investment decision. You should rely only on the information contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. This prospectus may only be used where it is legal to sell our common stock. You should not assume that the information that appears in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the date of such information.

     In this prospectus supplement, “TCBI”, “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” refer to Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc., which is a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context otherwise requires. References to “Texas Capital Bank” or “Bank” refer to Texas Capital Bank, National Association, which is our principal banking subsidiary.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain statements that are considered “forward looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws. In addition, TCBI and its management may make other written or oral communications from time to time that contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including statements about industry trends, management’s future expectations and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts, are based on assumptions by management, and are often identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “seek,” “may,” “will,” “trend,” “target,” and “goal” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements about TCBI’s confidence in its strategies and its expectations about financial performance, market growth, market and regulatory trends and developments, acquisitions and divestitures, new technologies, services and opportunities and earnings.

     Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over time, are based on management’s expectations and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and are not guarantees of future results. Management’s expectations and assumptions, and the continued validity of the forward-looking statements, are subject to change due to a broad range of factors affecting the national and global economies, the equity, debt, currency and other financial markets, as well as factors specific to TCBI and its subsidiaries, including Texas Capital Bank.

     Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in our forward-looking statements and from our historical financial results due to the factors discussed elsewhere in this prospectus or

disclosed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. Forward-looking statements included herein should not be relied upon as representing our expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus. TCBI undertakes no obligation to revise the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus to reflect events after the date of this prospectus. The factors discussed herein are not intended to be a complete summary of all risks and uncertainties that may affect our businesses. Though we strive to monitor and mitigate risk, we cannot anticipate all potential economic, operational and financial developments that may adversely impact our operations and our financial results. Forward-looking statements should not be viewed as predictions, and should not be the primary basis upon which investors evaluate TCBI.

(1)		Based on the number of shares outstanding as of January 22, 2010, excluding outstanding options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and the warrant issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. See footnote 10 (Employee Benefits) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and footnote 8 (Stock-Based Compensation) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision in the shares of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline substantially, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

     Our stock price can fluctuate. Stock price volatility may make it difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors including, among other things:

•		actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations;
•		recommendations by securities analysts;
•		operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
•		news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry, including the failures of other financial institutions in the current economic downturn;
•		perceptions in the marketplace regarding us and/or our competitors;
•		new technology used, or services offered, by competitors;
•		significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
•		failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;
•		changes in government regulations; and
•		geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

     General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of operating results as evidenced by the current volatility and disruption of capital and credit markets.

     The trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. Although our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. Given the lower trading volume of our common stock, significant sales of our common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause our stock price to fall.

     An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit. Our common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in our common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result, if you acquire our common stock, you may lose some or all of your investment.

     There may be future sales or other dilutions of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We are not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive our common stock. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) currently owns a warrant to purchase 758,086 shares of our common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $14.84, subject to adjustment, which expires ten years from the issuance date. The issuance of any additional shares of common stock as a result of exercise of the warrant or the issuance of any other common stock or convertible securities could dilute the ownership interest of our existing common stockholders. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of this offering as well as other sales of a large block of shares of our common stock in the market after this offering, or the perception that such sales could occur.

     The holders of our junior subordinated debentures have rights that are senior to those of our stockholders. As of December 31, 2009, we had $113.4 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding that were issued to our statutory trusts. The trusts purchased the junior subordinated debentures from us using the proceeds from the sale of trust preferred securities to third party investors. Payments of the principal and interest on the trust preferred securities are conditionally guaranteed by us to the extent not paid or made by each trust, provided the trust has funds available for such obligations.

     The junior subordinated debentures are senior to our shares of common stock. As a result, we must make payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) before any dividends can be paid on our common stock and, in the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of the debentures must be satisfied before any distributions can be made to our stockholders. If certain conditions are met, we have the right to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) at any time or from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters in a deferral period, during which time no dividends may be paid to holders of our common stock.

     We do not currently pay dividends. Our ability to pay dividends is limited and we may be unable to pay future dividends. We do not currently pay dividends on our common stock. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient consolidated capital. As a bank holding company, our ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to the guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) regarding capital adequacy and dividends. The Federal Reserve guidelines generally require us to review the effects of the cash payment of dividends on common stock and other Tier 1 capital instruments (i.e., perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred debt) on our financial condition. The guidelines also require that we review our net income for the current and past four quarters, and the level of dividends on common stock and other Tier 1 capital instruments for those periods, as well as our projected rate of earnings retention.

     The ability of our Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by its obligations to maintain sufficient capital and by other general restrictions on its dividends that are applicable to our Bank. If these regulatory requirements are not met, our Bank will not be able to pay dividends to us, and we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock. In addition, the Bank’s inability to pay dividends to us may affect our ability to cover operating expenses and meet any debt service requirements.

     There are substantial regulatory limitations on changes of control of bank holding companies. With certain limited exceptions, federal regulations prohibit a person or company or a group of persons deemed to be “acting in concert” from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 10% (5% if the acquirer is a bank holding company) of any class of our voting stock or obtaining the ability to control in any manner the election of a majority of our directors or otherwise direct the management or policies of our company without prior notice or application to and the approval of the Federal Reserve. Accordingly, prospective investors need to be aware of and comply with these requirements, if applicable, in connection with any purchase of shares of our common stock.

     Sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering may cause its market price to fall. We may issue shares of our common stock with aggregate sales proceeds of up to $40,000,000 from time to time in connection with this offering. This issuance from time to time of these new shares of our common stock, or our ability to issue these new shares of our common stock in this offering, could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock.

     Anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make it more difficult for you to receive a change in control premium. Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest more difficult, even if such events were perceived by many of our stockholders as beneficial to their interests. These provisions include advance notice for nominations of directors and stockholders’ proposals, and authority to issue “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, in general, prevents an interested stockholder, defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock, from engaging in a business combination with our company for three years following the date that person became an interested stockholder unless certain specified conditions are satisfied.

     The impact of recent legislative and regulatory efforts is uncertain. We face increased regulation of our industry, including changes proposed by Congress and federal regulatory agencies to the banking and financial institutions regulatory regime and heightened legal standards and regulatory requirements or expectations. These changes may include new requirements related to the level of capital required for our lending and other businesses. Our existing capital resources and the net proceeds from the offering described in this prospectus supplement may be insufficient to satisfy such heightened requirements, in which case we may have to limit our activities or seek additional capital, including through subsequent equity offerings, which may be dilutive to current and future stockholders.

     There have been numerous attempts recently at the federal level to expand consumer protection measures. A major focus of recent legislation has been aimed at the creation of a consumer financial protection agency that would be dedicated to administering and enforcing fair lending and consumer compliance laws with respect to financial products. If enacted, such legislation may have a substantial impact on our Bank’s operations.

     Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in other substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer, increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, limit the fees or service charges we may assess or limit our ability to recruit and retain management important to our business strategy.

     We may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of funding and other relationships. We routinely conduct financial transactions with commercial banks and other clients. These transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by those parties . In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the credit due to us. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

     The short-term and long-term impact of the new Basel II capital standards and the forthcoming new capital rules to be proposed for non-Basel II U.S. banks is uncertain. On December 17, 2009, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, or the Basel Committee, proposed significant changes to bank capital and liquidity regulation, including revisions to the definitions of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital applicable to the Basel Committee’s Revised Framework for the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, or Basel II. The short-term and long-term impact of the new Basel II capital standards and the forthcoming new capital rules to be proposed for non-Basel II U.S. banks is uncertain. As a result of the recent deterioration in the global credit markets and the potential impact of increased liquidity risk and interest rate risk, it is unclear what the short-term impact of the implementation of Basel II may be or what impact a pending alternative standardized approach to Basel II option for non-Basel II U.S. banks may have on the cost and availability of different types of credit and the potential compliance costs of implementing the new capital standards.

     Our deposit insurance premiums could be substantially higher in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our future earnings. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insures deposits at FDIC insured depository institutions, including our Bank. Under current FDIC regulations, each insured depository institution is assigned to one of nine risk categories and, depending on its assigned risk category, is subject to risk-based assessment insurance premiums based on the amount of deposits held. The FDIC charges insured financial institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) at a certain level. Recent bank failures have reduced the DIF’s reserves to their lowest level in more than 15 years. On October 16, 2008, the

FDIC published a restoration plan designed to replenish the DIF over a period of five years and to increase the deposit insurance reserve ratio to 1.15% of insured deposits by December 31, 2013. To implement the restoration plan, the FDIC changed both its risk-based assessment system and increased its base assessment rates. On February 27, 2009, the FDIC amended the restoration plan to extend the restoration plan horizon to seven years. The amended restoration plan was accompanied by a final rule which adjusted how the risk-based assessment system differentiates for risk and that set new assessment rates. Under the final rule, the base assessment rates increased substantially beginning April 1, 2009. On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a 5 basis point special assessment on each insured depository institution’s assets minus Tier 1 capital, as of June 30, 2009. On November 17, 2009, the FDIC also published a final rule requiring insured depository institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. A change in the risk category assigned to our Bank, further adjustments to base assessment rates and additional special assessments could have a material adverse effect on our earnings, financial condition and results of operation.

     The Federal Reserve may require us to commit capital resources to support our Bank. As a matter of policy, the Federal Reserve expects a bank holding company to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to a subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support such subsidiary bank. Under the “source of strength” doctrine, the Federal Reserve may require us to make capital injections into our Bank under certain circumstances and may charge us with engaging in unsafe and unsound practices for failure to commit resources in such circumstances.

     Non-compliance with laws and regulations could result in fines, sanctions and other enforcement actions and the loss of our “financial holding company” status. Federal banking regulators have broad enforcement powers. If we fail to comply with any laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies or interpretations applicable to us, we could face various sanctions and enforcement actions, which include, among other things, the issuance of a cease-and-desist order, the imposition of civil monetary fines and penalties, the issuance of a directive to increase capital and the termination of deposit insurance. Furthermore, as a “financial holding company,” we may engage in authorized financial activities, provided that we continue to meet certain regulatory standards of being “well capitalized” and “well managed.” If we fail to meet such standards, we may be required to cease any financial holding company activities or, in certain circumstances, to divest of our Bank.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $39,125,000, after expenses and commissions. We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, including the funding of additional contributions to the capital of our Bank, while maintaining liquidity at the TCBI level.

DIVIDEND POLICY

     No cash dividends have ever been paid by us on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our principal source of funds to pay cash dividends on our common stock is cash dividends from our Bank. The payment of dividends on our common stock and by our Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal and state banking laws, regulations and authorities.

On January 22, 2010, the closing sale price for our common stock was $15.31 per share, as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

     The following is a brief description of our common stock. This summary does not purport to be complete in all respects. This description is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, copies of which have been filed with the SEC and are also available upon request from us.

General

     We have 100,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 35,926,234 shares were outstanding as of January 22, 2010. Under our certificate of incorporation, as amended, we have authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. No shares of our preferred stock are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

Preferred Stock

     Our board of directors may from time to time authorize the issuance of one or more classes or series of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Subject to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and limitations prescribed by law and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, if applicable, our board of directors is authorized to adopt resolutions to issue shares, establish the number of shares, change the number of shares constituting any series, and provide or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions on shares of our preferred stock, including dividend rights, terms of redemption, conversion rights and liquidation preferences, in each case without any action or vote by our stockholders.

Common Stock

     Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters with respect to which the holders of our common stock are entitled to vote. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights and is not subject to redemption. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors. In the event of dissolution or liquidation, after payment of all creditors, the holders of our common stock (subject to the prior rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock) will be entitled to receive pro rata any assets distributable to stockholders in respect of the number of shares held by them. The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as our board of directors, in its discretion, may declare out of funds legally available therefor subject to certain limitations under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. We have not paid dividends on our common stock to date and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the near future. However, the payment of dividends on our common stock would be subject to the prior rights of the holders of any preferred stock. Payment of dividends on both our common stock and any preferred stock, will be dependent upon, among other things, our earnings and financial condition, our cash flow requirements and the prevailing economic and regulatory climate.

     Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TCBI.”

Anti-Takeover Provisions

     Certain provisions included in our certificate of incorporation, as amended, our amended and restated bylaws, as amended, as well as certain provisions of the DGCL and federal law, may discourage or prevent potential acquisitions of control of us. These provisions are more fully set forth in our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, which was filed with the SEC on August 24, 2000, and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Restrictions on Ownership

     The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) requires any “bank holding company,” as defined in the BHC Act, to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve prior to the acquisition of 5% or more of our common stock. Any holder of 25% or more of our common stock, or a holder of 5% or more if such holder otherwise exercises a “controlling influence” over us, is subject to regulation as a bank holding company under the BHC Act. Transactions involving the acquisition of our common stock that are not subject to the BHC Act are subject to the Change in Bank Control Act (the “CIBC Act”). Any person (or persons acting in concert), other than a bank holding company, is required to submit notice to the Federal Reserve prior to acquiring 10% or more of our common stock under the CIBC Act.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

     The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Investor Services LLC.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK

     The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of common stock by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) that holds the common stock as a capital asset. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), effective U.S. Treasury regulations, and judicial decisions and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The foregoing are subject to differing interpretations which could affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to U.S. holders or other investors in light of their particular circumstances, or to investors subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, entities that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dealers in securities or currencies, expatriates, persons deemed to sell common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, and persons that hold common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, or other integrated investment. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or any state, local, or foreign tax laws.

You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of common stock.

     For purposes of this summary, you are a “non-U.S. holder” if you are a beneficial owner of common stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not:

•		an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States;
•		a corporation, other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or partnership that is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
•		an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
•		a trust, provided that, (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration or one or more United States persons (as defined in the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of that trust, or (2) the trust has made an election under the applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

     If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) owns common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership that owns common stock should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to them.

Dividends

     Except as described below, if you are a non-U.S. holder of common stock, dividends paid to you are subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if you are eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate. Even if you are eligible for a lower treaty rate, we and other payors will generally be required to withhold at a 30% rate (rather than the lower treaty rate) on dividend payments to you, unless you have furnished to us or another payor:

•		a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or an acceptable substitute form upon which you certify, under penalties of perjury, your status as (or, in the case of a United States alien holder that is a partnership or an estate or trust, such forms certifying the status of each partner in the partnership or beneficiary of the estate or trust as) a non-United States person and your entitlement to the lower treaty rate with respect to such payments; or
•		in the case of payments made outside the United States to an offshore account (generally, an account maintained by you at an office or branch of a bank or other financial institution at any location outside the United States),

other documentary evidence establishing your entitlement to the lower treaty rate in accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations.

     Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

     If you are eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax under a tax treaty, you may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of that rate by filing a refund claim with the United States Internal Revenue Service.

     If dividends paid to you are “effectively connected” with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States, and you have not claimed the dividends are eligible for any treaty benefits as income that is not attributable to a permanent establishment that you maintain in the United States, we and other payors generally are not required to withhold tax from the dividends, provided that you have furnished to us or another payor a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or an acceptable substitute form upon which you certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are a non-United States person, and the dividends are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States and are includible in your gross income. “Effectively connected” dividends are taxed at rates applicable to United States citizens, resident aliens, and domestic United States corporations on a net income basis. If you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, “effectively connected” dividends that you receive may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if you are eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate.

Disposition of Common Stock

     If you are a non-U.S. holder, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain from U.S. sources that you recognize on a disposition of common stock unless:

•		the gain is “effectively connected” with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment that you maintain in the United States, if that is required by an applicable income tax treaty as a condition for subjecting you to United States taxation on a net income basis;
•		you are an individual, you hold the common stock as a capital asset, and you are present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the disposition; or
•		we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     “Effectively connected” gains are taxed at rates applicable to United States citizens, resident aliens, and domestic United States corporations on a net income tax basis. If you are a corporate non-U.S holder, “effectively connected” gains that you recognize may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if you are eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate.

     An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point above will only be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from the sale of common stock to the extent such gain is deemed to be from U.S. sources, which will generally only be the case where the individual’s tax home is in the United States. An individual’s tax home is generally considered to be located at the individual’s regular or principal (if more than one regular) place of business. If the individual has no regular or principal place of business because of the nature of the business, or because the individual is not engaged in carrying on any trade or business, then the individual’s tax home is his regular place of abode. If an individual non-U.S. holder is described in the second bullet point above, and the individual non-U.S. holder’s tax home is in the United States, then the non-U.S. holder may be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the disposition, which gain may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses.

     We believe we are not, and we do not anticipate becoming, a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     Recently proposed legislation (which was passed by the House of Representatives) would generally impose, effective for payments made after December 31, 2012, a withholding tax of 30% on dividends from, and the

gross proceeds of a disposition of, common stock paid to certain foreign entities unless various information reporting requirements are satisfied. There can be no assurance as to whether or not this proposed legislation will be enacted, and, if it is enacted, what form it will take or when it will be effective. Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this proposed legislation on their investment in our common stock.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

     We must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

     A non-U.S. holder will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

     Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

     Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

     Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the offered securities may, subject to certain legal restrictions, be held by (1) pension, profit sharing, and other employee benefit plans which are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended (which we refer to as “ERISA”), (2) plans, accounts, and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or provisions under federal, state, local, non-U.S., or other laws or regulations that are similar to any of the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (which we refer to as “Similar Laws”), and (3) entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plans, accounts, or arrangement. Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit plans from engaging in specified transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code with respect to such pension, profit sharing, or other employee benefit plans that are subject to Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. A violation of these prohibited transaction rules may result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for such persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. A fiduciary of any such plan, account, or arrangement must determine that the purchase and holding of an interest in the offered securities is consistent with its fiduciary duties and will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We have entered into an equity distribution agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated under which we may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $40,000,000 through Morgan Stanley, as our sales agent.

     Sales of shares of our common stock through Morgan Stanley, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed upon by us and the sales agent. As sales agent, Morgan Stanley will not engage in any transactions that stabilize the price of our shares of common stock.

     Morgan Stanley will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as our sales agent, the shares of common stock offered hereby, from time to time, based upon instructions from us (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose). Either we or Morgan Stanley may suspend the offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement by notifying the other.

     We will pay to Morgan Stanley as sales agent a program fee of 1.0% of the maximum aggregate offering price of $40,000,000 payable upon execution of the equity distribution agreement, plus a commission equal to 1.0% of the gross sales proceeds of shares of our common stock that it sells pursuant to the equity distribution agreement. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of our common stock. We have agreed to reimburse the sales agent for certain expenses incurred by it in connection with the offering.

     Settlement for sales of our common stock will occur on the third business day following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

     In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock, Morgan Stanley may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the compensation paid to Morgan Stanley may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Morgan Stanley against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Morgan Stanley may engage in transactions with, or perform other services for, us in the ordinary course of its business. In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the maximum discount or commission to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate offering price of the shares offered hereby.

     If Morgan Stanley or we have reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are not satisfied, that party will promptly notify the other and sales of our common stock under the equity distribution agreement will be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of Morgan Stanley and us.

     The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all of the shares of our common stock subject to the equity distribution agreement or (2) the termination of the equity distribution agreement by either Morgan Stanley or us.

LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Winstead PC. The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for Morgan Stanley by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP.

     The consolidated financial statements of TCBI appearing in TCBI’s Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the effectiveness of TCBI’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon included therein, and incorporated herein by reference.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

     This prospectus is part of a registration statement we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, after the SEC declares our registration statement effective, we may from time to time sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $150,000,000.

     We may offer the following securities from time to time:

•		senior debt securities
•		subordinated debt securities
•		convertible debt
•		preferred stock
•		common stock
•		warrants
•		units

     This prospectus provides you with a general description of each of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities we will provide a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of the securities being offered. That prospectus supplement may include a discussion of any risk factors or other special considerations that apply to those securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change the information in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in that prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

     The registration statement containing this prospectus, including the exhibits to the registration statement, provides additional information about us and the securities offered under this prospectus. The registration statement, including the exhibits and the documents incorporated herein by reference, can be read on the SEC website or at the SEC offices mentioned under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

     You should rely only on the information we incorporate by reference or present in this prospectus or the relevant prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone else, including any underwriter or agent, to provide you with different or additional information. We may only use this prospectus to sell securities if it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement which includes the specific terms of that offering. We are only offering these securities in states where the offer is permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other than the dates on the front of those documents.

     We may sell securities to underwriters who will sell the securities to the public on terms fixed at the time of sale. In addition, the securities may be sold by us directly or through dealers or agents designated from time to time. If we, directly or through agents, solicit offers to purchase the securities, we reserve the sole right to accept and, together with our agents, to reject, in whole or in part, any of those offers.

     The prospectus supplement will contain the names of the underwriters, dealers, or agents, if any, together with the terms of the offering, the compensation of those underwriters, dealers, or agents, and the net proceeds to us. Any underwriters, dealers, or agents participating in the offering may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     In this prospectus, “TCBI,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” refer to Texas Capital Bancshares. Inc., which is a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the

context otherwise requires. References to “Texas Capital Bank” mean Texas Capital Bank, National Association, which is our principal banking subsidiary.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain statements that are considered “forward looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws. In addition, TCBI and its management may make other written or oral communications from time to time that contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including statements about industry trends, management’s future expectations and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts, are based on assumptions by management, and are often identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “seek,” “may,” “will,” “trend,” “target,” and “goal” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements about TCBI’s confidence in its strategies and its expectations about financial performance, market growth, market and regulatory trends and developments, acquisitions and divestitures, new technologies, services and opportunities and earnings.

     Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over time, are based on management’s expectations and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and are not guarantees of future results. Management’s expectations and assumptions, and the continued validity of the forward-looking statements, are subject to change due to a broad range of factors affecting the national and global economies, the equity, debt, currency and other financial markets, as well as factors specific to TCBI and its subsidiaries, including Texas Capital Bank.

     Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in our forward-looking statements and from our historical financial results due to the factors discussed elsewhere in this prospectus or disclosed in our other SEC filings. Forward-looking statements included herein should not be relied upon as representing our expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus. TCBI undertakes no obligation to revise the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus to reflect events after the date of this prospectus. The factors discussed herein are not intended to be a complete summary of all risks and uncertainties that may affect our businesses. Though we strive to monitor and mitigate risk, we cannot anticipate all potential economic, operational and financial developments that may adversely impact our operations and our financial results.

     Forward-looking statements should not be viewed as predictions, and should not be the primary basis upon which investors evaluate TCBI. Any investor in TCBI should consider all risks and uncertainties disclosed in our SEC filings described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information,” all of which are accessible on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

ABOUT TEXAS CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC.

     Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc., a financial holding company, is the parent of Texas Capital Bank, National Association, a Texas-based bank headquartered in Dallas, with banking offices in Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio, the state’s five largest metropolitan areas. TCBI offers a variety of banking products and services to our customers. We have focused on organic growth of Texas Capital Bank and on quality loan and deposit relationships.

RISK FACTORS

     An investment in our securities involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties and the risk factors set forth in the documents and reports filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as any risks described in any applicable prospectus supplement, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, before you make an investment decision regarding the securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. Statements in or portions of a future document incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including without limitation those relating to risk factors, may update and supersede statements in and portions of this prospectus or such incorporated documents.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, we expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for general corporate purposes.

     We will specify the principal purposes for which the net proceeds from the sale of our securities will be used in a prospectus supplement at the time of sale. Until we use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for these purposes, we may place the net proceeds in temporary investments or we may hold the net proceeds in deposit accounts in our subsidiary bank.

RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

     The following table sets forth our consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges for all of the periods shown below. For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings represent the sum of income from continuing operations before taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges represent total interest expense, including and excluding interest on deposits. We paid no dividends on preferred stock during the past five fiscal years, and as a result our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference dividends is identical to the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods set forth below. In January 2009, we completed the sale of 75,000 shares of our Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, or Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, and a warrant to purchase 758,086 shares of our common stock to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or Treasury. We are required to pay quarterly dividends on the shares of the Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. The first quarterly dividend on the shares of Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock in the amount of $302,083 was paid on February 15, 2009.

THE SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

     The descriptions of the securities contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplement, summarize all the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. The particular terms of the securities offered by any prospectus supplement will be described in that prospectus supplement. If indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the securities may differ from the terms summarized below. An applicable prospectus supplement will also contain information, where applicable, about material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the securities, and the securities exchange, if any, on which the securities will be listed.

     We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings:

•		senior debt securities
•		subordinated debt securities
•		convertible debt
•		preferred stock
•		common stock
•		warrants
•		units

     If we issue securities at a discount from their original stated principal or liquidation amount, then, for purposes of calculating the total dollar amount of all securities issued under this prospectus, we will treat the initial offering price of the securities as the total original principal or liquidation amount of the securities.

     This prospectus may not be used to sell securities, unless it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

     This section describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may issue. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the debt securities offered through that prospectus supplement as well as any general terms described in this section that will not apply to those debt securities.

     Any debt securities issued using this prospectus, or “Debt Securities,” will be our direct unsecured general obligations. The Debt Securities will be either our senior debt securities, or “Senior Debt Securities,” or our subordinated debt securities, or “Subordinated Debt Securities.” The Senior Debt Securities and the Subordinated Debt Securities will be issued under separate Indentures between us and a trustee chosen by us and qualified to act as a trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, or the “Trustee.” Senior Debt Securities will be issued under a “Senior Indenture” and Subordinated Debt Securities will be issued under a “Subordinated Indenture.” Together, the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture are called “Indentures.”

     Because we are a holding company, our cash flows and consequent ability to service our obligations, including our debt securities, are dependent on distributions and other payments of earnings and other funds by our subsidiaries to us. The payment of dividends and other distributions by our subsidiaries is contingent upon their earnings and is subject to the requirements of federal banking regulations and other restrictions. In addition, the debt securities will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, since any right we have to receive any assets of our subsidiaries will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors. If we are recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary, our claims would still be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of that subsidiary and any indebtedness of that subsidiary senior to us. Claims from creditors (other than us), on subsidiaries may include long-term and medium-term debt and substantial obligations related to deposit liabilities, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings. Any capital loans that we make to Texas Capital Bank would be subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to other indebtedness of Texas Capital Bank.

     We have summarized selected provisions of the Indentures below. The summary is not complete. The form of each Indenture has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you should read the Indentures for provisions that may be important to you. Your rights are defined by the terms of the Indentures, not the summary provided in this prospectus or a prospectus supplement. In the summary below we have included references to article or section numbers of the applicable Indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions. Whenever we refer in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement to particular articles or sections or defined terms of the Indentures, those articles or sections or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein or therein, as applicable. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the Indentures.

General

     The Indentures provide that Debt Securities in separate series may be issued thereunder from time to time without limitation as to aggregate principal amount. We may specify a maximum aggregate principal amount for the Debt Securities of any series (Section 2.05). We will determine the terms and conditions of the Debt Securities, including the maturity, principal and interest, but those terms must be consistent with the Indenture.

     The Senior Debt Securities will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt (“Senior Debt”). The Subordinated Debt Securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of our Senior Debt as described under “— Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities” and in the prospectus supplement applicable to any Subordinated Debt Securities.

     The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the price or prices at which the Debt Securities to be offered will be issued and will describe the following terms of such Debt Securities:**

•		the title of the Debt Securities;
•		whether the Debt Securities are Senior Debt Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities and, if Subordinated Debt Securities, the related subordination terms;
•		whether the Debt Securities will be issued as registered securities, bearer securities or a combination of both;
•		any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities;
•		the dates on which the principal of the Debt Securities will mature;
•		the interest rate that the Debt Securities will bear and the interest payment dates for the Debt Securities or the method to determine each;
•		the place or places where payments on the Debt Securities will be payable;
•		whether the Debt Securities will be issued in the form of one or more global securities and whether such global securities will be issued in a temporary global form or permanent global form;
•		any terms upon which the Debt Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option;
•		any sinking fund or other provisions that would obligate us to repurchase or otherwise redeem the Debt Securities;
•		the portion of the principal amount, if less than all, of the Debt Securities that will be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Debt Securities;
•		whether the Debt Securities are defensible;
•		any addition to or change in the Events of Default or rights of holders upon an Event of Default;
•		whether the Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to a medium-term note program;
•		whether the Debt Securities are convertible into our common stock, preferred stock or any of our other securities and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which conversion will be effected, including the initial conversion price or conversion rate and any adjustments thereto and the conversion period;
•		any addition to or change in the covenants in the Indenture applicable to the Debt Securities; and
•		any other terms of the Debt Securities not prohibited by the Indenture (Section 2.05).

     The Indentures do not limit the amount of Debt Securities that may be issued. Each Indenture allows Debt Securities to be issued up to the principal amount that may be authorized by us and may be in any currency or currency unit designated by us.

     Debt Securities, including Original Issue Discount Securities bearing no interest or bearing interest which at the time of issuance is below market rate, may be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. Special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to Debt Securities sold at an original issue discount may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, special United States federal income tax or other considerations applicable to any Debt Securities that are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than United States dollars may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Senior Debt Securities

     The Senior Debt Securities will be our unsecured senior obligations and will rank equally with all other senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The Senior Debt Securities will, however, be subordinated in right of payment to all our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness whether existing at the date of the Senior Indenture or subsequently incurred. Except as provided in the applicable Senior Indenture or specified in any authorizing resolution or supplemental indenture relating to a series of Senior Debt Securities to be issued, the Senior Indenture will not limit the amount of additional indebtedness that may rank equally with the Senior Debt Securities or the amount of indebtedness, secured or otherwise, that may be incurred or preferred stock that may be issued by any of our subsidiaries.

Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities

     The indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Debt Securities will, to the extent set forth in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to each series of Subordinated Debt Securities, be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of our secured indebtedness and Senior Debt, including the Senior Debt Securities, whether existing at the date of the Senior Indenture or subsequently incurred (Article XIII of the Subordinated Indenture). The prospectus supplement relating to any Subordinated Debt Securities will summarize the subordination provisions of the Subordinated Indenture applicable to that series including:

	•		the applicability and effect of such provisions upon any payment or distribution respecting that series following any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings;
	•		the applicability and effect of such provisions in the event of specified defaults with respect to any Senior Debt, including the circumstances under which and the periods in which we will be prohibited from making payments on the Subordinated Debt Securities; and
	•		the definition of Senior Debt applicable to the Subordinated Debt Securities of that series and, if the series is issued on a senior subordinated basis, the definition of Subordinated Debt applicable to that series.

     The prospectus supplement will also describe as of a recent date the approximate amount of Senior Debt to which the Subordinated Debt Securities of that series will be subordinated.

     The failure to make any payment on any of the Subordinated Debt Securities by reason of the subordination provisions of the Subordinated Indenture described in the prospectus supplement will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities arising from any such failure to make payment.

     The subordination provisions described above will not be applicable to payments in respect of the Subordinated Debt Securities from a defeasance trust established in connection with any legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Subordinated Debt Securities as described under “— Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.”

Subordinated Debt Securities Intended to Qualify as Tier 2 Capital

     If stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Subordinated Debt Securities covered by that prospectus supplement will be intended to qualify as Tier 2 Capital under the guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board for bank holding companies. The guidelines set forth specific criteria for Subordinated Debt Securities to qualify as Tier 2 Capital. Among other things that Subordinated Debt Securities must:

	•		be unsecured;
	•		have a minimum average maturity of five years;
	•		be subordinated in right of payment;

	•		not contain provisions permitting the holders of the debt to accelerate payment of principal prior to maturity except in the event of bankruptcy of the issuer; and
	•		not contain provisions that would adversely affect liquidity or unduly restrict management’s flexibility to operate the organization, particularly in times of financial difficulty, such as limitations on additional secured or senior borrowings, sales or dispositions of assets or changes in control.

Conversion Rights

     The Debt Securities may be converted into other securities of our company, if at all, according to the terms and conditions of an applicable prospectus supplement. Such terms will include the conversion price, the conversion period, whether conversion will be at the option of the holders of such series of Debt Securities or at the option of our company, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and provisions affecting conversion in the event of the redemption of such series of Debt Securities.

Denomination, Exchange and Transfer

     The Debt Securities of each series will be issuable, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof (Section 2.08).

     Registered securities of any series that are not Global Securities will be exchangeable for other registered securities of the same series and of like aggregate principal amount and tenor in different authorized denominations. In addition, if debt securities of any series are issuable as both registered securities and bearer securities, the holder may choose, upon written request, and subject to the terms of the applicable indenture, to exchange bearer securities and the appropriate related coupons of that series into registered securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount and tenor. Bearer securities with attached coupons surrendered in exchange for registered securities between a regular record date or a special record date and the relevant date for interest payment shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to the interest payment date. Interest will not be payable with respect to the registered security issued in exchange for that bearer security. That interest will be payable only to the holder of the coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the indenture. Bearer securities will not be issued in exchange for registered securities.

     You may present registered securities for registration of transfer, together with a duly executed form of transfer, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for that purpose with respect to any series of Debt Securities and referred to in the applicable prospectus supplement. This may be done without service charge but upon payment of any taxes and other governmental charges as described in the applicable indenture. The security registrar or the transfer agent will effect the transfer or exchange upon being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request. We will appoint the Trustee as security registrar for each Indenture. If a prospectus supplement refers to any transfer agents initially designated by us with respect to any series of debt securities in addition to the security registrar, we may at any time rescind the designation of any of those transfer agents or approve a change in the location through which any of those transfer agents acts. If, however, debt securities of a series are issuable solely as registered securities, we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for that series, and if debt securities of a series are issuable as bearer securities, we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in a place of payment for that series located outside of the United States in addition to the security registrar. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents with respect to any series of debt securities. The Debt Security Registrar and any other transfer agent initially designated by us for any Debt Securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (Section 2.06). We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each Place of Payment for the Debt Securities of each series (Section 4.02).

     If the Debt Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, we will not be required to (1) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Debt Security that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security so selected

for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Debt Security being redeemed in part (Section 2.09).

Global Securities

     Some or all of the Debt Securities of any series may be represented, in whole or in part, by one or more Global Securities that will have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of the Debt Securities they represent. Each Global Security will be registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement, will be deposited with such Depositary or nominee or its custodian and will bear a legend regarding the restrictions on exchanges and registration of transfer thereof referred to below and any such other matters as may be provided for pursuant to the applicable Indenture. Global Securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form.

     Notwithstanding any provision of the Indentures or any Debt Security described in this prospectus, no Global Security, unless its terms so expressly permit, may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee of such Depositary unless:

     (1) the Depositary has notified us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or has ceased to be qualified to act as such as required by the applicable Indenture, and in either case we fail to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days;

     (2) an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a written request from the Depositary to issue certificated Debt Securities; or

     (3) other circumstances exist, in addition to or in lieu of those described above, as may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     All Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof will be registered in such names as the Depositary may direct (Section 2.17).

     As long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered holder of a Global Security, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and Holder of such Global Security and the Debt Securities that it represents for all purposes under the Debt Securities and the applicable Indenture (Section 2.17). Except in the limited circumstances referred to above, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have such Global Security or any Debt Securities that it represents registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Debt Securities in exchange for those interests and will not be considered to be the owners or Holders of such Global Security or any Debt Securities that it represents for any purpose under the Debt Securities or the applicable Indenture. All payments on a Global Security will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder of the security. The laws of some jurisdictions require that some purchasers of Debt Securities take physical delivery of such Debt Securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.

     Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to institutions that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (“participants”) and to persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. In connection with the issuance of any Global Security, the Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of Debt Securities represented by the Global Security to the accounts of its participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to participants’ interests) or any such participant (with respect to interests of persons held by such participants on their behalf). Payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in a Global Security may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by the Depositary from time to time. None of us, any Trustee or any agent of ours will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depositary’s or any participant’s records relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in a Global Security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

Payment and Paying Agents

     Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of interest on a Debt Security on any Interest payment date will be made to the Person in whose name such Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest (Section 2.14).

     Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities of a particular series will be payable at the office of such Paying Agent or Paying Agents as we may designate for such purpose from time to time, except that at our option payment of any interest on Debt Securities in certificated form may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears in the Security Register. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the corporate trust office of the Trustee under the Senior Indenture in The City of New York will be designated as sole Paying Agent for payments with respect to Senior Debt Securities of each series, and the corporate trust office of the Trustee under the Subordinated Indenture in The City of New York will be designated as the sole Paying Agent for payment with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of each series. Any other Paying Agents initially designated by us for the Debt Securities of a particular series will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for the Debt Securities of a particular series (Section 4.02).

     Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, all money paid by us to a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Debt Security which remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the Holder of such Debt Security thereafter may look only to us for payment (Section 11.05).

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

     We may not consolidate with or merge into, or transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets to, any Person (a “successor Person”), and may not permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into us, unless:

     (1) the successor Person (if any) is a corporation and validly existing under the laws of any domestic jurisdiction and assumes our obligations on the Debt Securities and under the Indentures;

     (2) immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing; and

     (3) several other conditions, including any additional conditions with respect to any particular Debt Securities specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, are met (Section 10.01).

Events of Default

     Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, each of the following will constitute an Event of Default under the applicable Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of any series:

     (1) failure to pay principal of or premium on any Debt Security of that series when due, whether or not, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities, such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Subordinated Indenture;

     (2) failure to pay any interest on any Debt Securities of that series when due, continued for 30 days, whether or not, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities, such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Subordinated Indenture;

     (3) failure to deposit any sinking fund payment, when due, in respect of any Debt Security of that series, whether or not, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities, such deposit is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Subordinated Indenture;

     (4) failure to perform or comply with the provisions described under “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

     (5) failure to perform any of our other covenants in such Indenture (other than a covenant included in such Indenture solely for the benefit of a series other than that series), continued for 90 days after written notice has been given, as provided in such Indenture;

     (6) any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of an amount to be determined at the time the series of Debt Securities are created is entered against us or any Restricted Subsidiary remains outstanding for a period of 60 consecutive days following entry of such judgment and is not discharged, waived or stayed; and

     (7) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting us or any Restricted Subsidiary. (Section 6.01).

     Except as may be summarized in a prospectus supplement and set forth in a supplemental indenture or the board resolution creating a series of Debt Securities, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to TCBI, described in clause (7) above) with respect to the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, either the applicable Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series by notice as provided in the Indenture may declare the principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series (or, in the case of any Debt Security that is an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, such portion of the principal amount of such Debt Security as may be specified in the terms of such Debt Security) to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to TCBI described in clause (7) above with respect to the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Debt Securities of that series (or, in the case of any such Original Issue Discount Security, such specified amount) will automatically, and without any action by the applicable Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal (or other specified amount), have been cured or waived as provided in the applicable Indenture (Section 6.01). For information as to waiver of defaults, see “— Modification and Waiver” below.

     Subject to the provisions of the Indentures relating to the duties of the Trustees in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the applicable Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to such Trustee reasonable indemnity (Section 6.04). Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the Trustees, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that series (Section 6.06).

     No Holder of a Debt Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the applicable Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless:

     (1) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee under the applicable Indenture written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of that series;

     (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series have made written request, and such Holder or Holders have offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee; and

     (3) the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding, and has not received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer (Section 6.04).

     However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on such Debt Security on or after the applicable due date specified in such Debt Security or, if applicable, to convert such Debt Security (Section 6.04).

     We will be required to furnish to each Trustee annually a statement by certain of our officers as to whether or not we, to their knowledge, are in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the applicable Indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults (Section 4.06).

Modification and Waiver

     Modifications and amendments of an Indenture may be made by us and the applicable Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however; that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby:

•		change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Debt Security;
•		reduce the principal amount of, or any premium or interest on, any Debt Security;
•		reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Debt Security payable upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof;
•		change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Debt Security;
•		impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment due on or any conversion right with respect to any Debt Security;
•		modify the subordination provisions in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities, or modify any conversion provisions, in either case in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities;
•		reduce the percentage in principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for modification or amendment of the Indenture;
•		reduce the percentage in principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults; or
•		modify such provisions with respect to modification, amendment or waiver (Section 9.02).

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the applicable Indenture (Section 6.06). The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may waive any past default under the applicable Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest and certain covenants and provisions of the Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security of such series (Section 6.06).

     Each of the Indentures provides that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities have given or taken any direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action under such Indenture as of any date:

•		the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that will be deemed to be Outstanding will be the amount of the principal that would be due and payable as of such date upon acceleration of maturity to such date;
•		if, as of such date, the principal amount payable at the Stated Maturity of a Debt Security is not determinable (for example, because it is based on an index), the principal amount of such Debt Security deemed to be Outstanding as of such date will be an amount determined in the manner prescribed for such Debt Security; and

•

the principal amount of a Debt Security denominated in one or more foreign currencies or currency units that will be deemed to be Outstanding will be the United States-dollar equivalent, determined as of such date in the manner prescribed for such Debt Security, of the principal amount of such Debt Security (or, in the case of a Debt Security described in the first two bullet points above, of the amount described in such clause).

     Certain Debt Securities, including those owned by us or any of our Affiliates, will not be deemed to be Outstanding (Section 8.03).

     Except in certain limited circumstances, we will be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series entitled to give or take any direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action under the applicable Indenture, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture. In certain limited circumstances, the Trustee will be entitled to set a record date for action by Holders. If a record date is set for any action to be taken by Holders of a particular series, only persons who are Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities of that series on the record date may take such action.

Satisfaction and Discharge

     Each Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Debt Securities of any series issued thereunder, when:

(1) either:

     (a) all outstanding Debt Securities of that series that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Debt Securities that have been replaced or paid and Debt Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to us) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

     (b) all outstanding Debt Securities of that series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and in any case we have irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds money in an amount sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the entire indebtedness of such Debt Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the Stated Maturity or redemption date;

     (2) we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by us under the Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of that series; and

     (3) we have delivered an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of that series have been satisfied (Article XI).

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

     If and to the extent indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect, at our option at any time, to have the provisions of Section 11.02, relating to defeasance and discharge of indebtedness, which we call “legal defeasance,” or relating to defeasance of certain restrictive covenants applied to the Debt Securities of any series, or to any specified part of a series, which we call “covenant defeasance.”

Legal Defeasance

     The Indentures provide that, upon our exercise of our option (if any) to have Section 11.02 applied to any Debt Securities, we will be discharged from all our obligations, and, if such Debt Securities are Subordinated Debt Securities, the provisions of the Subordinated Indenture relating to subordination will cease to be effective, with respect to such Debt Securities (except for certain obligations to convert, exchange or register the transfer of Debt Securities, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated Debt Securities, to maintain paying agencies and to hold monies for

payment in trust) upon the deposit in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities of money or United States Government Obligations, or both, which, through the payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on such Debt Securities on the respective Stated Maturities in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture and such Debt Securities. Such defeasance or discharge may occur only if, among other things:

•		we have delivered to the applicable Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or there has been a change in tax law, in either case to the effect that Holders of such Debt Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and legal defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and legal defeasance were not to occur;
•		no Event of Default or event that with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, shall constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with respect to any Event of Default described in clause (7) under “— Events of Default,” at any time until 121 days after such deposit;
•		such deposit and legal defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which we are a party or by which we are bound;
•		in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities, at the time of such deposit, no default in the payment of all or a portion of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of our Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing, no event of default shall have resulted in the acceleration of any of our Senior Debt and no other event of default with respect to any of our Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing permitting after notice or the lapse of time, or both, the acceleration thereof; and
•		we have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the Trustee or the trust so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Section 11.03).

Covenant Defeasance

     The Indentures provide that, upon our exercise of our option (if any) to have Section 11.02 applied to any Debt Securities, we may omit to comply with certain restrictive covenants (but not to conversion, if applicable), including those that may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the occurrence of certain Events of Default, which are described above in clause (5) (with respect to such restrictive covenants) and clauses (5) and (6) under “—Events of Default” and any that may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, will not be deemed to either be or result in an Event of Default and, if such Debt Securities are Subordinated Debt Securities, the provisions of the Subordinated Indenture relating to subordination will cease to be effective, in each case with respect to such Debt Securities. In order to exercise such option, we must deposit, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities, money or United States Government Obligations, or both, which, through the payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on such Debt ^.Securities on the respective Stated Maturities in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture and such Debt Securities. Such covenant defeasance may occur only if we have delivered to the applicable Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that in effect says that Holders of such Debt Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance were not to occur, and the requirements listed in the last four bullet points above are satisfied. If we exercise this option with respect to any Debt Securities and such Debt Securities were declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the amount of money and United States Government Obligations so deposited in trust would be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the time of their respective Stated Maturities but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities upon any acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. In such case, we would remain liable for such payments (Section 11.02).

Notices

     Notices to Holders of Debt Securities will be given by mail to the addresses of such Holders as they may appear in the Security Register (Section 12.03).

Title

     We, the Trustees and any of our agents may treat the Person in whose name a Debt Security is registered as the absolute owner of the Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security may be overdue) for the purpose of making payment and for all other purposes (Section 8.03).

Governing Law

     The Indentures and the Debt Securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles (Section 12.04).

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK AND WARRANTS

     The following is a brief description of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete in all respects. This description is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, copies of which have been filed with the SEC and are also available upon request from us.

General

     Under our certificate of incorporation, as amended, we have authority to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Of such shares, 75,000 shares have been designated as Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, all of which shares were outstanding as of April 14, 2009. No other shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. We have 100,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 31,014,158 shares were outstanding as of April 14, 2009.

Preferred Stock

     If we offer to sell newly-issued preferred stock, our board of directors is authorized, subject to the rights of the holders of our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Subject to the rights of the holders of our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, our board of directors would have discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

     So long as any shares of our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock are outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 662/3% of the outstanding shares of Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, is necessary for effecting or validating any amendment or alteration of our certificate of incorporation that authorizes or creates or increases the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any shares of capital stock of TCBI (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such shares) that ranks senior to our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of TCBI. The Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock will rank at least equally with any preferred stock designated as ranking on a parity with the Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and a liquidation preference upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and will rank senior to any preferred stock designated as ranking junior to the Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or a liquidation preference.

     If we offer to sell newly-issued preferred stock, we will file the terms of the preferred stock with the SEC, and the prospectus supplement relating to that offering will include a description of the specific terms of the offering, including the following specific terms:

•

the series, the number of shares offered and the liquidation value of the preferred stock;

•

the price at which the preferred stock will be issued;

•		the dividend rate, the dates on which the dividends will be payable and other terms relating to the payment of dividends on the preferred stock;
•		the liquidation preference of the preferred stock;
•		the voting rights of the preferred stock;
•		whether the preferred stock is redeemable or subject to a sinking fund, and the terms of any such redemption or sinking fund;
•		whether the preferred stock is convertible or exchangeable for any other securities, and the terms of any such conversion; and
•		any additional rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the preferred stock.

     It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, these effects might include:

•		restricting dividends on the common stock;
•		diluting the voting power of the common stock;
•		impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; and
•		delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

Common Stock

     Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters with respect to which the holders of our common stock are entitled to vote. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights and is not subject to redemption. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors. In the event of dissolution or liquidation, after payment of all creditors and payment of liquidation preferences on preferred stock, the holders of our common stock (subject to the prior rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock) will be entitled to receive pro rata any assets distributable to stockholders in respect of the number of shares held by them. The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as our board of directors, in its discretion, may declare out of funds legally available therefor, subject to certain limitations under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. We have not paid dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the near future. However, the payment of dividends on our common stock is subject to the prior rights of the holders of any preferred stock, including our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. In addition, the securities purchase agreement that we entered into with the Treasury in connection with the sale of the Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock restricts our ability to pay dividends, unless we obtain the consent of the Treasury. Payment of dividends on both our common stock and any preferred stock, will be dependent upon, among other things, our earnings and financial condition, our cash flow requirements and the prevailing economic and regulatory climate.

Anti-Takeover Provisions.

     Certain provisions included in our certificate of incorporation, as amended, our amended and restated bylaws, as amended, as well as certain provisions of the DGCL and federal law, may discourage or prevent potential acquisitions of control of us. These provisions are more fully set forth in our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, which was filed with the SEC on August 24, 2000, and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Restrictions on Ownership.

     The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, the “BHC Act,” generally would prohibit any company that is not engaged in banking activities and activities that are permissible for a bank holding company or a financial

holding company from acquiring control of TCBI. “Control” is generally defined as ownership of 25% or more of the voting stock or other exercise of a controlling influence. In addition, any existing bank holding company would need the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the Federal Reserve, before acquiring 5% or more of the voting stock of TCBI. In addition, the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring control of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as TCBI, could constitute acquisition of control of the bank holding company.

     Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Transfer Agent and Registrar.

Warrants

     We may issue additional warrants for the purchase of common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with debt securities or common stock offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from any such offered securities. Series of warrants may be issued under a separate warrant agreement entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, all as will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of warrants. The warrant agent would act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and would not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants.

     The following summary of certain provisions of the warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all provisions of the warrant agreements.

     Reference is made to the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of warrants offered pursuant to such prospectus supplement for the terms of and information relating to such warrants, including, where applicable:

	•		the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock and the price at which such number of shares of common stock may be purchased upon such exercise;
	•		the date on which the right to exercise such warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;
	•		United States federal income tax consequences applicable to such warrants;
	•		the amount of warrants outstanding as of the most recent practicable date; and
	•		any other terms of such warrants.

     Warrants will be issued in registered form only. The exercise price for warrants will be subject to adjustment in accordance with the applicable prospectus supplement.

     Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase such number of shares of common stock at such exercise price as shall be set forth in, or calculable from, the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants, which exercise price may be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, or such later date to which such expiration date may be extended by us, unexercised warrants will become void. The place or places where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised shall be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to such warrants.

     Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase common stock, holders of such warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of common stock purchasable upon such exercise, including the right to receive payments of dividends, if any, on the common stock purchasable upon such exercise, or to exercise any applicable right to vote.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

     This section describes the general terms and provisions of the units. The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the units offered through that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those units.

     We may issue units comprised of two or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale by them or may sell the securities to investors directly or through dealers or agents, or through a combination of methods. Any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     We^-may distribute our securities from time to time in one or more transactions at: (1) a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, (2) market prices prevailing at the time of sale, (3) prices related to the prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or (4) negotiated prices. We also may, from time to time, authorize underwriters acting as our agents to offer and sell the securities upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of securities, underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

     Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against contribution toward civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     To facilitate the offering of the securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances, the persons would cover the over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them is repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

     The underwriters, dealers and agents and their affiliates may engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

     In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the maximum discount or commission to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer may not exceed 8.00% of the aggregate gross sales proceeds of any shares of common stock offered hereby.

     Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be eligible for listing and trading on Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance.
