SUGAR LAND, Texas -- The $300 million Houston Federal Credit Union has purchased three stand-alone, shared branching facilities from Credit Union Resources, Inc., an affiliate of the Texas Credit Union League that owned them.

Houston FCU spokesman, Tracy Stabenow, said the credit union planned to operate the facilities as its own branches as well as keep them open as shared branching outlets.

"We are excited about the opportunity to join forces with the Texas Credit Union Service Centers which will greatly enhance our ability to deliver exceptional service to credit union members throughout Houston and nationwide," said Chris Choat, President of Houston Federal Credit Union.

"The operation of these facilities will continue as they are today--serving members from all credit unions affiliated with the Credit Union Service Center network. We are fully focused on implementing a smooth and seamless integration plan to ensure that our top priority, credit union members, continue to receive the personal and quality service they have known for many years. On behalf of all my Houston Federal Credit Union teammates, we are proud to welcome the employees of the Texas Credit Union Service Centers."
