I'd throw in Heat before the Bulls.

I knew what you meant, just wanted to see how long it would take you to see what you mean. Anyway, here are the banks HQ'ed in Texas


USAA Banking- San Antonio 43B in deposits
Comerica- Dallas
Frost/ Cullen- San Antonio
Guarantee Financial- Austin
Prosperity- Houston
International Bankshares- Laredo
Security Services Credit Union- San Antonio
Sterling Bancshares- Houston
Amegy Bank- Houston
Woodforest National Bank- Houston

Those are the big ones, I know there are many small ones out there.

USAA and Comerica is the largest. For Comerica The Corporate offices are in Dallas but doesn't Detroit have the most workers?

I am really impressed with SA. They have more deposits than Dallas or Houston.

I don't think you can call Dallas the financial capital of Texas if it does have the most Deposits or if its banks doesn't have the most assets.

In finance overall both Houston and Dallas are ahead of SA though.

I wouldn't. Chicago actually has history and a true fanbase. Miami has none of the above. Hell if Miami is relevant, so us Dallas. They are the defending champions and have as many rings as Miami

Well I probably should have said maybe the bulls. However, they still have a huge fanbase because of that era.

Federal Reserve is what puts us ahead of the rest. This bank distributes money to all the banks in Texas and to many other banks in different states.

Of course it is. You said it is so it is. I see that now. Your debate tactics are too good.

I was impressed by Dallas. I thought it was a nice smaller city, with all you need for city life. The suburbs are..well, suburbs.

I felt that Dallas has a slight California vibe, while Ft. Worth was so Texan. Interesting with them being in the same metro area.

I prefer Houston because I enjoy really big cities. Houston has more of everything, that's really the only difference. Houston is HUGE next to Dallas. Both have great hoods, sites, restaurants and things to do.

If I had to move to Dallas, I could see myself adjusting rather quickly. My friend simply said "Wow, it's the same exact thing (as Houston)". I thought that was funny. So I know that people like to say one city is better than the other...but Dallas and Houston are more alike than different.

Austin has the whole Northern California vibe going on, not Dallas.

Dallas feels & looks more like a large Midwestern city in comparison though it pretends to be a NYC, LA, Milan, or Paris. Fort Worth on the other hand feels & looks very Western-Southwestern staying true to its roots & doesn't care too much for its neighbor 30 miles to the east. The two cities might as well be on opposite sides of the country that's how little they have in common.

Houston feels & looks like a conglomerate of Los Angeles, New Orleans, & Miami.

That's a lie Matt! Dallas does not try to be Paris, Milan, LA, or NYC. You always have to say something negative about Dallas and majority of the time it's a complete lie.
