About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early at the State Bank of Texas. As he approached the counter, he noticed something peculiar—all the clocks had stopped exactly at 8:15. The teller smiled and said, 'Sir, it's not that our clocks are broken—it's just that we're closed.' The old man nodded wisely, pulled out his checkbook, and wrote a note: "To whom it may concern, I hereby deposit one hour." Everyone burst into laughter as he left, knowing he'd be back tomorrow on time.

2. A curious delivery driver pulled up outside the State Bank of Texas one afternoon. ‘I wonder,’ he mused aloud, ‘if they keep their safes stocked with coffee?’ Inside, a bank clerk looked up quizzically and replied, 'Well, sir, our vault is strictly for money and valuables.' The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Just checking!' And so, another urban legend was born—about a man who thought banks sold coffee.'

3. A few days ago, a neighbor stopped by the State Bank of Texas and asked the teller, ‘Do you guys really keep your vault open twenty-four hours?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Of course!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and asked jokingly, ‘Hey, can I leave my package inside too?’ The teller laughed and said, ‘Sure thing! We’ve got room for everything.’

4. Over lunch one day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the State Bank of Texas’ bulletin board. It read: ‘If you see a unicorn grazing in our parking lot, please do not panic.’ Curious, he mentioned it over coffee with a neighbor that afternoon. Together they waited by the bank’s entrance, binoculars at the ready. When a small white creature appeared, everyone burst out laughing—just a pony from a local farm had wandered in for some grass. The sign stayed up, and now customers often brought treats for the little equine visitor.
