Texas Capital Bancshares, the parent company of Dallas-based Texas Capital Bank, announced on November 10 that Jay Clingman has been appointed to the newly created role of vice chairman of commercial banking. He will report to Rob C. Holmes, president and CEO, and serve on the bank’s operating committee. Clingman will work closely with all areas of commercial banking—including corporate, middle-market and business banking—to drive strategy, increase visibility and identify growth opportunities across its regional markets.

Clingman most recently served at JPMorgan Chase & Co. for more than three decades in various leadership roles, primarily within Texas. He served as managing director and region manager of middle-market banking for North Texas and Oklahoma from 2013 to 2021. He held a similar role from 2004 to 2013 as managing director and region head for San Antonio and South Texas. From 2000 to 2004, he was managing director of the private bank, responsible for all private banking efforts in San Antonio, Austin and Houston. From 1995 to 2000, he was responsible for leading statewide efforts for capital markets, selling fixed-income securities to companies and high-net-worth individuals.

Clingman received a BBA degree in finance from Texas A&M University and an MBA degree from the University of Texas–San Antonio. He is FINRA Series 63, 24 and 79 certified. Clingman has a long history of serving on many not-for-profit boards in the Dallas and San Antonio areas. Currently, he sits on the Klyde Warren Park board in Dallas and the Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio.

“Extending our focus in C&I markets is a key pillar of our business plan and is aligned with Jay’s knowledge and expertise,” Holmes notes. “He will be instrumental as we continue to create customized solutions for our clients and will help drive results for their respective businesses.”
