Dallas-based PlainsCapital Bank recently announced that Danny Schroder has been promoted to Houston region chairman. In his new role, he will oversee and coordinate banking operations and market development for PlainsCapital’s branches in the greater Houston area.

“Danny has added tremendous value to our banking initiatives and expansion in East Texas,” says Jerry Schaffner, president and CEO. “As a longtime Houston resident and seasoned banking professional, he’s familiar with the financial solutions that businesses and individuals need to move forward.”

Schroder joined PlainsCapital in 2020 as president shortly before opening The Woodlands branch at 1699 Research Forest Drive. He has nearly 40 years of financial services experience and spent more than a decade expanding North Houston operations for multiple local banks before joining PlainsCapital Bank.

Schroder received his bachelor’s degree from Louisiana State University and an MBA degree from Capella University. He currently serves as a board member for The Woodlands Economic Development Partnership as well as YES to YOUTH– Montgomery County Youth Services. He previously served as chairman, board member and vice president for The Woodlands Chamber of Commerce.

Schroder’s new leadership role is among several recent promotions in PlainsCapital’s Houston market, including Josh Bost to vice president, premier services market manager and Danny Edwards to vice president, commercial loan officer. Bost joined PlainsCapital in 2008, while Edwards joined The Bank of River Oaks in 2014, which was acquired by PlainsCapital in 2018.

Established in 1955, PlainsCapital Bank operates 58 Texas branches and employs approximately 1,100 associates.
