Texas Community Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company that conducts its operations primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, Broadstreet Bank, a Texas-chartered savings bank. The company generates revenue primarily from interest income on loans and investment securities, as well as fees from deposit accounts and other banking services. Its core activities include taking deposits from the general public and investing those funds in residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and land loans, municipality loans, and to a lesser extent, commercial and consumer loans.

Texas Community Bancshares, Inc. generates revenue through interest earned on its loan portfolio and investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, and fees from facilitating loan applications. The company’s loan portfolio includes residential mortgages, commercial real estate, multi-family, construction and land, farmland, agriculture, commercial, municipal, and consumer loans. Investment income is derived from securities such as mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, state and municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Deposit-related revenue comes from interest-bearing accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and service fees.

The company operates through the following segments:

• Real Estate Lending: This segment encompasses one-to-four family residential, multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and land, and farmland loans. It generates income through interest on loans secured by real property, with underwriting based on borrower creditworthiness and property valuation. The segment includes fixed-rate residential mortgages and adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans tied to WSJ Prime with a maximum five-year initial term.

• Commercial and Municipal Lending: This segment includes commercial loans to small businesses secured by equipment, accounts receivable, or inventory, and loans to municipalities secured by tax or revenue pledges. Commercial loans are typically short-term with adjustable rates, while municipal loans are longer-term and based on tax revenue streams. The segment also includes agricultural loans for farming operations.

• Consumer and Other Lending: This segment covers loans secured by used automobiles, recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, boats, and share loans tied to deposit accounts. These loans are generally smaller in size and shorter in duration, with underwriting focused on collateral value and borrower repayment capacity. The segment also includes overdraft protection services linked to checking accounts.
