In the Matter of
EDWIN W. BROWN individually
and/or as an institution-affiliated
party of
TROUP BANK & TRUST COMPANY
TROUP, TEXAS
(Insured State Nonmember Bank)
ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM
FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   Edwin W. Brown ("Respondent") received a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") pursuant to section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e), on or about May 29, 1990. The NOTICE described the violations of law, unsafe or unsound practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty allegedly committed by Respondent, individually and/or as an institution-affiliated party of Troup Bank & Trust Company, Troup, Texas ("Depository Institution"), by reason of which the Depository Institution suffered financial loss or other damage, and/or that the interests of deposits were prejudiced and/or that Respondent received financial gain or other benefit; and which demonstrate that such violations, practices, or breaches evidence Respondent's personal dishonesty and/or willful and/or continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the Depository Institution. The Depository Institution is the subject of receivership proceedings.
   Having been advised of his right to a hearing on the allegations set forth in the NOTICE, under section 8(e) of the Act and Part 308 of the FDIC's Rules and Practice and Procedures, 12 C.F.R. Part 308, and having waived that right, Respondent entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, dated February 4, 1991, whereby, solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any of the alleged violations of law, unsafe or unsound banking practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   Having been advised of his right to a hearing on the allegations set forth in the NOTICE, under section 8(e) of the Act and Part 308 of the FDIC's Rules of Practice and Procedures, 12 C.F.R. Part 308, and having waived that right. Respondent entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, dated February 4, 1991, whereby, solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any of the alleged violations of law, unsafe or unsound banking practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined there was reason to believe that:

       (i) Respondent had engaged or participated in violations of law, rule or regulation, unsafe or unsound banking practices and/or breaches of his fiduciary duty as an institution-affiliated party of the Depository Institution;
       (ii) By reason of such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, the Depository Institution suffered financial loss or other damage, the interests of the Depository Institution's depositors were prejudiced and/or the Respondent received financial gain or other benefit; and
       (iii) Such violations, practices and/or
{{6-30-91 p.C-990}}
    breaches of fiduciary duty involved personal dishonesty on the part of Respondent and/or demonstrated Respondent's willful and/or continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Depository Institution.
   The FDIC further determined that such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate Respondent's unfitness to serve or participate as an institution-affiliated party in the conduct of the affairs of any insured depository institution or any other agency or organization enumerated in section 8(e)(7) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(7). The FDIC, therefore, accepts the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issues the following:
