Last week I reported that Judge Yarbrough’s service on the board of American National Insurance Company appears to violate state law and the county’s ethics policy. However, the real story is not a piddly $366.00 annual lease, but is actually the county’s relationship with Moody National Bank. After submitting a formal information request, County Treasurer Kevin Walsh stated that the county has approximately sixty accounts with Moody National Bank worth $100 million.
