PlainsCapital Bank announced that Danny Schroder has been promoted to Houston region chairman. In his new role, Schroder 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,” said PlainsCapital Bank President and CEO Jerry Schaffner. “As a longtime Houston resident and seasoned banking professional, he’s familiar with the financial solutions that businesses and individuals need to move forward. We’re excited that he will be leading the Houston market in his new role.”

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 over a decade expanding North Houston operations for multiple local banks before joining PlainsCapital.

“I’m looking forward to serving Texas entrepreneurs and families as PlainsCapital’s Houston region chairman,” said Schroder. “I’m proud to support the Bank’s commitment to offering best-in-class products and guidance, while supporting our communities.”

Schroder received his bachelor’s from Louisiana State University and an MBA 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.
