        <footnote id="F1">On January 25, 2005, First Financial Bankshares, Inc. granted the reporting person options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at $33.08 per share.  The options vest 20% at the end of two years, 40% at the end of three years, 60% at the end of four years, 80% at the end of five years and 100% at the end of six years.  The reporting person inadvertently failed to report the grant of these employee stock options within the proper time frame required under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Amount and price of option have been adjusted for the four-for-three stock split effective June 1, 2005.</footnote>
