Texas City, TX – August 31, 2020 – Rust-Ewing, Watt, & Haney, Inc., a premier provider of personal and commercial insurance products, announces today the name change of Rust-Ewing Insurance and Assurance One Insurance to Texas First Insurance, effective September 1, 2020. The agency headquarters will remain in Texas City with an office in Houston off Eldridge Parkway.

Rust-Ewing, Watt, & Haney, Inc. (REWH) has operated as an independent insurance agency since 1925, building trust and recognition with customers of all sizes throughout the southeast Texas region. Twenty years ago, REWH joined the Texas Independent Bancshares (TIB) family, a holding company under the leadership of Charles T. Doyle, Chairman of the Board.

“We are excited to align with Texas First Bank under the Texas First name. With similar names, we will be able to offer our customers a stronger, more comprehensive service experience. Texas First will be a place that customers can come for not just their insurance, benefits, and bonding needs at the agency, but any of their banking and financing needs through our partners at the bank,” stated Jerry Blystone, President of Texas First Insurance.
“This name change represents the evolution of our three companies, the strengthening of the bank and insurance partnership, and a vision for the future with Texas First as a strong partner for our customers for years to come,” shared Charles T. Doyle, Chairman of the TIB Board.
