OF D A L L A S

Dallas, Texas, July 1,1957

To the Member Banks in the Territory
Assigned to the Houston Branch:
Enclosed is a copy of the revised time schedule relating to the col­
lection of cash items by our Houston Branch. This time schedule be­
comes effective July 2, 1957 and supersedes the Houston Branch time
schedule th a t became effective March 28, 1955.
The principal revision in the enclosed schedule is the change in
deferment for items drawn on outlying Houston banks, which hereto­
fore have been subject to deferred credit of two business days after
receipt. These items will now be available for credit one business day
after receipt by our Houston Branch when received in cash letters con­
taining only items of one day availability.
A list of the outlying Houston banks, checks on which will be sub­
ject to the deferment of one business day after receipt, is shown on the
reverse side of the enclosed time schedule. Additional banks may be
added to this list from time to tim e; and, in such case, announcement
will be made by circular letter.
Checks on other Houston banks, which are collectible through the
Houston Clearing House, will be acceptable for immediate credit Mon­
day through Friday.
This time schedule should be inserted in the ring binder previously
furnished your bank, in place of the Houston Branch time schedule,
pages 3 and 4 of Bulletin No. 8A, effective March 28, 1955. Additional
copies of this schedule may be obtained from our Houston Branch upon
request.
Please acknowledge receipt of the time schedule by signing and
returning the enclosed postal card.
Yours very truly,
Watrous H. Irons
President
