In Brief: Compass Purchases M&A Firm in Texas

Compass Bancshares, Birmingham, Ala., said last week that it has bought Houston-based Albrecht & Associates Inc., a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm that serves the oil and gas industry.

The bank has an oil and gas advisory group, but bank executives do not plan to merge the two.

Albrecht will maintain its management team and offices and will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass Bank.
