(the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, and the related notes (the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. ## Basis for Opinion This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2022.

Organization and Description of Business TCBI Securities, Inc. ("TCBIS" or the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Texas Capital Bank (the "Parent"), is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB"), and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). TCBIS commenced operations on December 21, 2021 and is permitted to transact business as a broker-dealer in all 50 states, subject to certain state securities regulations. TCBIS' ultimate parent, Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. ("TCBI"), is a financial holding company, authorized to conduct the full range of activities permitted under Section 4(k) of the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act. 2. Significant Accounting Policies TCBIS is a full-service securities firm and engages in investment banking, trading and underwriting, and institutional securities sales. As a bank-affiliated broker-dealer, TCBIS is required to disclose to clients and potential clients its relationship with its Parent and that investments (1) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (2) are not deposits or other obligations of and are not guaranteed by any bank or bank affiliate, and (3) are subject to risks, including possible loss of principal invested. TCBIS' securities transactions are executed and customer accounts are carried and cleared on a fully disclosed basis with Pershing, LLC ("Pershing"), a clearing broker-dealer and a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of New York Mellon. Pershing is a member of FINRA, the New York Stock Exchange, and SIPC. The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of the rule and discloses in its exemption report certain activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34- 70073. ## Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The fair value of financial instruments are particularly susceptible to significant change. ## Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include amount due from banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 2024, \$8,815,179 in cash is held at Texas Capital Bank. #### Receivables from Broker-Dealer Receivables from broker-dealer represent amounts due for brokerage services and funds on deposit for trading. Also included in receivables from broker-dealer is a \$6,000,000 deposit with Pershing for the purpose of maintaining a fully disclosed clearing arrangement. At December 31, 2024, no reserve was recorded against receivables from broker-dealer. #### Derivative Financial Instruments All contracts that satisfy the definition of a derivative are recorded at fair value in trading assets and trading liabilities on the statement of financial condition, and the related cash flows are recorded in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. The Company records the derivatives on a net basis when a right of offset exists with a single counterparty that is subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement. {7}------------------------------------------------ The Company offers forward contract derivative instruments, such as to-be-announced U.S. agency residential mortgageback securities, to its mortgage banking customers to allow the customers to mitigate exposure to market risks associated with the purchase or origination of mortgage loans. To mitigate the Company's exposure to these forward contracts, the Company will enter offsetting forward contracts, most typically with a financial institution. #### Credit Risk Credit risk arises from potential non-performance by counterparties. The Company has established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to credit risk. The Company maintains a thorough credit approval process to limit exposure to counterparty risk and employ stringent monitoring to control counterparty risk. The Company account opening and counterparty approval process includes verification of key customer identification, anti-money laundering, verification checks and credit review of financial and operational data. #### Income Taxes The Company's ultimate parent, TCBI, and its subsidiaries, including the Company, file a consolidated federal income tax return. The method of allocating federal income tax expense is determined under a tax sharing arrangement between the Company, the Parent, and TCBI. The arrangement specifies that the Company's income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed separate income tax returns with appropriate adjustments to properly reflect the impact of a consolidated filing. Under this method, the Company pays the applicable tax to or receives the appropriate refund from TCBI, typically on a quarterly basis. Payments to tax authorities are made by TCBI or the Parent. The Company utilizes the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the values of the assets and liabilities as reflected in the financial statements and their related tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As changes in tax law or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. 3. Net Capital Requirements Net capital, as defined \$ 165,105,924 | TCBIS is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule ("SEC Rule 15c3-l"), which requires the maintenance of a
minimum net capital, as therein defined, and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness, defined as total money
liabilities of a broker-dealer arising in connection with any transaction subject to certain exclusions, to net capital,
shall not exceed 15 to 1 (or 1500%). | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------| | At December 31, 2024, TCBIS' net capital position was as follows: | | | Net capital required | 910,332 | | Excess capital | \$
164,195,592 | | Net capital ratio *** | 8.27% | | ***The net capital ratio is calculated as aggregate indebtedness of \$13,654,979, as defined, divided by net capital, as defined. | | | TCBIS does not carry its own customer accounts. | | | At December 31, 2024, \$8,815,179 in cash is held at Texas Capital Bank. Of which, \$3,339,913 is considered to be a
non-allowable asset for calculation of net capital. | | | 4.
Related Party Transactions | | | The Company engages in transactions with related parties in the ordinary course of business in compliance with
applicable regulations. | | | As of December 31, 2024, TCBIS had a payable to affiliates of \$213,361 for intercompany settlement of income | | As of December 31, 2024, TCBIS had a payable to affiliates of \$213,361 for intercompany settlement of income taxes with TCBI. {8}------------------------------------------------ TCBIS is included in the consolidated income tax return filed by TCBI. Pursuant to a tax sharing arrangement between TCBIS, the Parent, and TCBI, income taxes are allocated to TCBIS on a separate return basis. The amount of current income tax expense or benefit is either remitted to or received from TCBI. Under the expense sharing agreement between the Parent and TCBIS, the Parent shall provide certain operational and administrative services to TCBIS and in turn, TCBIS will either reimburse the Parent or accept the amount as a non-cash capital contribution for services provided. TCBIS has an unsecured revolving line of credit with TCBI, as discussed in Note 7. 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as provided below. Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair values requires significant management judgment or estimation. Also required are disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments does not and is not intended to represent the fair value of the Company. #### 6.

Funding Arrangements In addition to its own resources, TCBIS utilizes financing agreements with TCBI and Pershing as funding sources for its trading and investment banking activities. TCBIS has an unsecured revolving line of credit and debt subordination agreement with TCBI of \$150 million. One borrowing of \$10,000,000 was made and fully repaid during the year ended December 31, 2024. TCBIS has no outstanding borrowings from TCBI at December 31, 2024. Interest is based on the 30-day SOFR + 475 bps and is paid monthly. The line matures on December 11, 2026. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company's trades are executed and cleared in proprietary accounts, which allow Pershing, as the clearing firm, to loan TCBIS funds for the purposes of financing securities purchases or to facilitate funding of investment banking activities, on terms to be negotiated at the time of the borrowing. Such loans are subject to SEC regulations and clearing firm requirements. TCBIS had no outstanding borrowings from Pershing at December 31, 2024. Under the terms of the clearing agreement, the Company has granted a blanket pledge of eligible cash and securities as collateral for these advances. Interest rate is determined in accordance with the terms of the clearing agreement between the Company and Pershing. 8. Commitments and Contingencies TCBIS is an introducing broker to Pershing for equity and fixed income investment transactions pursuant to a fully disclosed clearing agreement. As such, TCBIS has agreed to indemnify Pershing against potential losses due to a customer's failure to settle a transaction or repay a margin loan. Equity and fixed income transactions are settled within two business days of the trade date. Customer margin loans are due on demand. All unsettled transactions are collateralized by the security being purchased. Customer margin loans are secured, as required by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Regulation T, Credit by Brokers and Dealers. At December 31, 2024, the total amount of customer balances subject to indemnification was \$0. In accordance with applicable margin lending practices, customer balances are typically collateralized by customer securities or supported by other types of recourse provisions. The fair value of the guarantee is not significant, and no amount was recorded on TCBIS's Statement of Financial Condition to reflect this contingent liability based on an assessment of probable loss. 9. Income Taxes In the ordinary course of business, TCBIS is subject to legal actions and complaints. Management believes, based upon the opinion of counsel, that actions and liability or loss, if any, resulting from the final outcomes of any such actions and complaints will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In the normal course of business, TCBIS enters into underwriting commitments. There were no open underwriting commitments at December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the amount of current income taxes payable to affiliates on the statement of financial condition was \$213,361. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for tax years before 2021. The table below summarizes significant components of deferred tax assets utilizing the applicable federal and state corporate income tax rates. Management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. | | | Year ended December 31, | | |---------------------------|------|-------------------------|--| | | 2024 | | | | Deferred tax assets: | | | | | Deferred revenue | \$ | 11,290 | | | Depreciation | | 42,536 | | | Total deferred tax assets | \$ | 53,826 | | {10}------------------------------------------------ 10. Subsequent Events On January 1, 2025, Texas Capital Bank was removed from the Company's ownership structure, resulting in Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. changing from 100% indirect owner to 100% direct owner of TCBIS.
