DALLAS (Dec. 5, 2024)
PlainsCapital Bank announced today that Lubbock Market President David Quintanilla is being promoted to West Texas Region Chairman, effective January 1, 2025. Quintanilla will succeed Barry Ballinger, who will be retiring at the end of the year. Ballinger has been with PlainsCapital Bank for more than 47 years and will continue to serve on the Bank’s Lubbock Advisory Board.
“Barry has played an important role in PlainsCapital Bank’s success from the very beginning and is deeply respected as a leader, mentor, and friend to those of us who have had the privilege of working with him. We look forward to his continued guidance and insight as a member of our Lubbock Advisory Board,” said PlainsCapital Bank CEO Jeremy Ford. “And we are proud to welcome David to his new role as West Texas Region Chairman, where he will continue to build new banking relationships and strengthen existing ones in the Lubbock community. David has deep roots in West Texas, and we are fortunate to have such an experienced and proven leader to lead the region.”
As West Texas Region Chairman, Quintanilla will oversee the day-to-day operations at all PlainsCapital Bank Lubbock locations—including administration, organizational structure, operating budgets—and cultivating existing and new deposit and loan relationships across commercial business, commercial real estate, and private banking.
Quintanilla has more than 30 years of banking experience in the Lubbock market and joined PlainsCapital in 2013. He previously served as Lubbock market President for First Capital Bank of Texas and as co-founder and director with First Bancshares of Texas, Inc.
He currently serves in an emeritus status as a member of the Texas Tech University Rawls College of Business Advisory Council and is Chairman of the Advisory Board for the Rawls College of Business Excellence in Banking program. Quintanilla also serves on the Covenant Health Systems Board of Directors. He previously served on the United Way Board of Directors, as Chairman of the Advisory Board of Directors for the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, and as a member of the Texas Tech Athletic Council. Quintanilla earned a bachelor’s degree from the Texas Tech University Rawls College of Business and is a graduate of the Texas Tech University School of Banking, as well as the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University.
“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve as West Texas Region Chairman,” Quintanilla said. “PlainsCapital is deeply committed to supporting this community and delivering the highest level of personal service to our customers. I look forward to continuing our proud tradition of helping to drive Lubbock’s growth and success.”
Ballinger joined PlainsCapital Bank (then Plains National Bank) in 1977 and was named Lubbock Market President in 2015, before being promoted to West Texas Region Chairman in 2021. He earned his BBA from Texas Tech University, Rawls College of Business and School of Banking, as well as the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University.
“It has truly been an honor to serve the Lubbock community for nearly 50 years on behalf of PlainsCapital Bank, and I congratulate David on his well-deserved promotion,” Ballinger said. “As I begin this new chapter, I know the West Texas region is in extremely capable hands with David and the rest of our local leadership and dedicated employees. I am extremely appreciative of the support I’ve received through the years and for the friendships I’ve made during my tenure here. I look forward to continuing to serve the Bank and the Lubbock community through my role on PlainsCapital’s Lubbock Advisory Board.”
