Argent Trust Company The three partners have been together as a team for more than 25 years, first with Merrill Lynch and then, starting in 2012, with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management before deciding that independence offered the most benefits to their clients.
Argent Trust Company vice president and trust officer Heather Webb has been selected as a member of the Fellows of the Texas Bar Foundation. She was chosen for her contributions to the legal profession and her dedication to improving the justice system throughout Texas.

Since then, 10,000 Texas attorneys have been selected for membership,” said Webb. “It is an honor to be invited for membership to the Fellows of the Texas Bar Foundation and to be among those select Texas attorneys. Fellows allows me to give back to the community through education, protection and legal services.”
Webb holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a Juris Doctorate degree, both from Texas Tech University. She has served as vice president and trust officer at Argent Trust Company for more than seven years.
