Lone Star CRA is a Texas based private equity fund that makes equity and equity-oriented investments in middle-market companies located in low- to moderate-income communities in the state of Texas. Our fund is specifically structured to assist bank investors in meeting the Community Reinvestment Act regulations for examinations in lending, investment, and service. We have successfully invested in all types of economic and financial conditions, developing a track record that we believe distinguishes our firm. With over twenty years of private equity experience the Fund’s Managers have invested in over 35 companies through affiliated funds. Throughout this time, Management has been able to serve the dual bottom line of community development and top quartile returns.

We believe that our success to date has been largely attributable to the unique culture within our firm and the values that we believe in: teamwork; innovation and creativity; honesty; and respect for our colleagues and others with whom we deal.
