Texas Governor Greg Abbott has reappointed Jim Minge, CEO of Texas Trust Credit Union, to another term on the Texas Credit Union Commission. He will serve as Chairman of the Commission through February 2029.
The Commission supervises the Texas Credit Union Department, which regulates all credit unions organized and chartered in the state. The governor-appointed board works closely with the Commissioner of the Texas Credit Union Department, who oversees daily operations of the agency. Texas’ state chartered credit unions have more than $57 billion in combined assets and 4 million members.
“The CU Commission helps ensure the Texas CU Department has effective policies in place that serve the collective body of the state’s 4 million members,” said Minge. “As a part of this commission my role is to help strengthen the credit union movement so that every credit union can successfully carry out its mission of people helping people.”
Minge has been serving the credit union industry for more than 30 years. He is a member of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants and the Fort Worth Chapter of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants. He received a bachelor of business administration in accounting degree from The University of Texas at Austin.
