About Me

Nacogdoches and Commercial Bank of Texas have always been home for Holt Davis.

“I have been a customer of CBTx since I was old enough to have my own checking account,” he said. “Over the years I have gotten to meet leaders in the bank. Those men and women embodied the professionalism and dedication to the community that I want in my own career.”

As a ninth-generation Nacogdoches native, Holt attended Nacogdoches High School, where he met his wife, Bailey Jo, before moving to Fort Worth to study business administration at Texas Christian University. He began his career as a project manager for a financial software implementation consultancy, working with more than 20 clients across North America and Europe. After eight years in Fort Worth, he returned to Nacogdoches and joined CBTx, beginning in the internal audit department before moving into Wealth Management.

With such deep roots, Banking Texas Style comes naturally to Holt.

“I grew up hearing that the word ‘Texas’ comes from the Caddo word for ‘friend,’” he said. “Whether someone’s family has been in Texas for 200 years or they came to the state yesterday, they can embody the Texan spirit just by being a friend to others. When you bank with CBTx, you’re banking with people who will treat you like a friend: people who care about your community, and people who want to see you succeed at your financial goals.”

As one of the people responsible for oversight of investment accounts, Holt draws on his deep understanding of investment strategy and his diligent attention to customer service to help his clients achieve their financial goals.

“Each customer trusts me with a critical piece of their life, their finances,” he said. “Often, going the extra mile requires us to undergo a task that is complex or challenging, and I want my customers to know they chose the right person to count on with those tasks.”

Holt earned his BBA in marketing and entrepreneurial management from Texas Christian University, graduating Magna Cum Laude, and he is in the process of becoming a Certified Financial Planner. He is a member of the Nacogdoches Rotary Club, and he and his wife attend First Christian Church of Nacogdoches.
