A., is proposing to conduct an initial public offering of our common stock (the "IPO"). In preparation for the IPO, we hereby seek your written consent to an amendment to TCBI's Certificate of Designation of 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation"). The board of directors of TCBI deems it advisable and believes that it is in the best interests of TCBI and its stockholders to amend the Certificate of Designation prior to the IPO in order to provide for adjustment, in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or other similar corporate action, of the price which would trigger automatic conversion of the 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") to common stock upon (a) consummation of an initial public offering or (b) quotation of the common stock of TCBI on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market for 30 consecutive trading days (the "Amendment"). Although only the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock will be affected, under Delaware law the Amendment must be approved by holders of each of (a) a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock, for which TCBI has already received the requisite number of written consents; and (b) a majority (based on voting power) of the shares of TCBI's voting common stock, par value $0.01 (the "Common Stock") and Preferred Stock, voting on an as converted basis as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, voting together as a single class (the Common Stock and Preferred Stock are together referred to as the "Voting Stock"). We are eager to move forward with the IPO and we believe the Amendment is necessary in order to adjust the trigger price for the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock to reflect the one-for-one stock dividend recently declared by the Board. The consent statement that accompanies this letter provides you with detailed information about the Amendment. We urge you to review carefully the consent statement and the enclosed written consent. OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CONSENT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT. IF YOU INTEND TO CONSENT TO THE AMENDMENT YOU MUST SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED WRITTEN CONSENT PROMPTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THE CONSENT STATEMENT. AN ABSTENTION OR FAILURE TO RETURN THE CONSENT WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF VOTING AGAINST THE AMENDMENT. Only holders of Voting Stock as of the close of business on August 9, 2002, the record date established by our board of directors, will be entitled to consent to the Amendment. On behalf of the board of directors, I wish to thank you for your continued support and urge you to consent to the Amendment. Sincerely, /s/ Joseph M. Grant Joseph M.

This consent solicitation is first being mailed to stockholders on or about August ___, 2002. Stockholders are requested to mark, sign, and date the enclosed form of written consent promptly, and return it via facsimile or regular mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Specific instructions are provided on the written consent form. These materials pertain to the following proposal as further described in this consent statement: An amendment to TCBI's Certificate of Designation of 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") in order to provide for adjustment, in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or other similar corporate action, of the price which would trigger automatic conversion of the 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") to common stock upon (a) consummation of an initial public offering or (b) quotation of the common stock of TCBI on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market for 30 consecutive trading days (the "Amendment"). The Amendment must be approved by holders of each of (a) a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, for which TCBI has already received the requisite number of written consents; and (b) a majority (based on voting power) of the outstanding shares of voting common stock, par value $0.01 (the "Common Stock") and the Preferred Stock, voting on an as converted basis as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, voting together as a single class (the Common Stock and Preferred Stock are together referred to as the "Voting Stock"). As a result of the one-for-one stock dividend that was declared by TCBI's board of directors on July 30, 2002, holders of the Preferred Stock will have two votes for every share of Preferred Stock owned as of the record date. The Amendment will provide adjustment of the trigger price for the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock to Common Stock to reflect the declared one-for-one stock dividend. No special meeting will be held to seek approval of the Amendment; instead TCBI is soliciting your written consent for the Amendment. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CONSENT TO THE AMENDMENT. PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN CONSENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Our principal executive office is located at 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201. If you have any questions about the procedures to be followed to give your written consent, please call Pat O'Brien of TCBI, at (214) 932-6771. TCBI will bear the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing consent materials furnished by the board of directors to stockholders. In addition to the solicitation of consents by mail, some of the 1 officers, directors, significant stockholders, employees, and agents of TCBI may, without additional compensation, solicit consents by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail, or other electronic transmission, or personal interview, the cost of which TCBI shall bear. THE CONSENT PROCEDURE Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the bylaws of TCBI state that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation of TCBI any action that may be taken at any annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voting, and those consents are delivered to the corporation. The written consent is attached hereto as Annex B. We have enclosed an addressed return envelope postage paid for you to return your executed and dated written consent. You may also send it by facsimile to ___________ at ___________. In the case of this consent solicitation by TCBI, written, unrevoked consents of the holders of a majority (based on voting power) of the outstanding shares, as of August 9, 2002, of Voting Stock must be delivered to TCBI as described above to effect the action as to which stockholder consents are being solicited hereunder. All consents in this solicitation, regardless of when dated, shall expire unless valid, unrevoked consents constituting a majority (based on voting power) of the Voting Stock entitled to vote on the matter are delivered to TCBI by October 15, 2002. Upon approval of the Amendment, as required by Delaware law, TCBI shall promptly notify the stockholders who have not consented to the Amendment. REVOCATION OF SIGNED CONSENTS A consent executed by a stockholder may be revoked by executing and delivering to ________________ a written, dated revocation prior to the time that signed unrevoked consents by holders of a majority (based on voting power) of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock entitled to vote on this matter have been delivered to the attention of _______________________. A revocation may be in any written form validly signed by the record holder as long as it clearly states that the consent previously given is no longer effective. A revocation may be delivered via facsimile to the attention of _____________________ or via mail to ______________at the following address: _________________________. RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES Our board has fixed the close of business on August 9, 2002 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to give their consent with respect to the Amendment. Only those stockholders who were holders of record of Voting Stock at the close of business on August 9, 2002 will be entitled to consent to the Amendment. Holders of the Preferred Stock shall vote on as "as converted" basis and together with holders of Common Stock to consent to the Amendment. In accordance with TCBI's Certificate of Designation and giving effect to the one-for-one stock dividend declared by TCBI's board of directors on July 30, 2002, holders of record of Preferred Stock will have two votes for every one share of Preferred Stock held of record on August 9, 2002. As of August 9, 2002, there were 9,225,243 shares of Common Stock and 1,057,142 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. 2 CONSENT RIGHTS The Amendment must be approved by holders of each of (a) a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, for which TCBI has already received the requisite number of written consents; and (b) a majority (based on voting power) of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on the Amendment submitted to the stockholders. As a result of the stock dividend declared on July 30, 2002, each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of our common stock. Therefore, when voting together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock with respect to the Amendment, holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to two votes for every share of Preferred Stock held. If a written consent form is executed but no indication is made as to what action is to be taken, the written consent form will be deemed to constitute a consent to the Amendment. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR STOCKHOLDERS APPROVAL BY WRITTEN CONSENT. YOU ARE REQUESTED TO INDICATE WHETHER YOU APPROVE OF THE AMENDMENT ON THE CONSENT ENCLOSED HEREWITH AS ANNEX B AND TO RETURN THAT CONSENT TO US. AN ABSTENTION OR FAILURE TO RETURN THE CONSENT WILL HAVE THE AFFECT OF VOTING AGAINST THE AMENDMENT. Under Delaware law and TCBI's Certificate of Incorporation, holders of TCBI's capital stock will not be entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Amendment. OTHER MATTERS Other than the matter listed above, there are no additional matters that will be presented for your consent. PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF THE 6.0% SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK The board of directors of TCBI deems it advisable and believes that it is in the best interests of TCBI and its stockholders to amend the Certificate of Designation to provide for adjustment, in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or other similar corporate action, of the price which would trigger automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock to common stock upon (a) consummation of an initial public offering or (b) quotation of the common stock of TCBI on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market for 30 consecutive trading days. TCBI has already declared a one-for-one stock dividend on common stock for stockholders of record on July 30, 2002. Under the current Certificate of Designation, without regard to the Amendment, the price at which automatic conversion would be triggered would not be adjusted to account for the recent one-for-one stock dividend or any other subsequent stock dividend, stock split or reclassification. The Amendment is necessary in order to adjust the trigger price for the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock to reflect the one-for-one stock dividend recently declared by the board and any other subsequent stock dividend, stock split or reclassification. The proposed Amendment to the Certificate of Designation is attached hereto as Annex A. 3 In order to become effective, the Amendment must be approved by holders of each of (a) a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, for which TCBI has already received the requisite number of written consents; and (b) a majority (based on voting power) of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock. 4 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS The following table presents information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 30, 2002, as adjusted for the one-for-one stock dividend declared on July 30, 2002, by: . each person known by us to beneficially hold more than 5% of our common stock or preferred stock; . each of our directors; . each of our named executive officers; and . all of our executive officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Unless indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable. Shares of common stock subject to options and Preferred Stock that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of June 30, 2002 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or Preferred Stock for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage ownership is based on 18,450,486 shares of our Common Stock outstanding (after giving effect to the one-for-one stock dividend declared on July 30, 2002) and 1,057,142 of convertible preferred stock outstanding on June 30, 2002.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION TCBI's most recent audited and unaudited financial statements and notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are incorporated herein by reference to TCBI's Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2002, including any subsequent amendments thereto. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Stockholder Proposals for Annual Meeting Held in 2003 To be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2003, a stockholder proposal must be received by the Secretary of TCBI at the address on the front of this Consent Statement not later than December 31, 2002. Any such proposal will be subject to Rule 14a-8 of the rules and regulations of the SEC. The bylaws of TCBI provide an advance notice procedure for certain business to be brought before the Annual Meeting. In order for a stockholder to properly bring business before the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must give written notice to the Secretary of TCBI not less than one hundred eighty (180) days nor more than two hundred seventy (270) days before the time originally fixed for such meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than thirty (30) days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.

In the case of nominations to the Board, certain information regarding the nominee must be provided. Although the bylaw provisions do not give the board of directors any power to approve or disapprove of stockholder nominations for the election of directors or any other business desired by a stockholder to be conducted at the Annual Meeting, the bylaw provisions may have the effect of precluding a nomination for the election of directors or precluding the conduct of business at a particular meeting if the proper procedures are not followed, and may discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempt to obtain control of TCBI, even if the conduct of such business or such attempt might be beneficial to TCBI and its stockholders.
