Carlile Buys Texas Warehouse Lender

Carlile Bancshares in Fort Worth, Texas, has completed its second acquisition in as many weeks.

Carlile's Northstar Bank of Texas in Denton said Monday that it had acquired a controlling stake in Goldome Financial, a mortgage warehouse lender in Flower Mound, Texas.

Last week, the $1.3 billion-asset Carlile completed its acquisition of Washington Investment in Yuma, Colo., for $65 million.

Northstar, which has $116 million in assets, said it bought control of Goldome to expand its Treasury management and mortgage businesses. Carlile bought Northstar last year.

Goldome was formed by the three partners of Texas law firm Black, Mann & Graham to provide warehouse lines of credit to mortgage lenders. The company's manager, Pamela Robinson, will continue to lead Goldome and all of its founders will stay involved.
