First Horizon Bank Expands Houston Footprint with New Gulf Freeway Branch

The facility is designed to offer a range of services, including new account management, deposit operations, and personalized financial planning. Shaun McDougall, Head of Consumer Banking, noted that the location is intended to place the bank directly within the neighborhoods where its clients live and work. Clifton Ligon, who has been tapped to manage the Gulf Fuqua branch, stated that his team is preparing to handle both existing customer inquiries and new account requests starting on the first day of operations. While the bank has yet to finalize the specific hours of operation and grand opening festivities, further logistical information is expected as the mid-September launch date approaches. First Horizon Corp., which reported $84.4 billion in assets as of June 30, 2026, continues to grow its presence across the southern United States through this regional strategy.
