KCNB - Beeville Branch Building

Karnes County National Bank is constructing a new 2,000 sq ft branch at 1708 Wofford Lane in Beeville, Texas. The project, filed with TDLR as the KCNB - Beeville Branch Building, involves new construction on private land with an estimated cost of $900,000. This equates to $450 per square foot, a figure that sits above the county median of $124 for similar new construction projects in Bee County.

The scope of work includes designing architectural plans for the bank, parking, and landscape areas. It also covers coordinating the construction process, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as the complete finish-out of the building. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Jeffrey A Gutknecht. The project is privately funded and located within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, specifically zone AE, which is designated as a floodway.

Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed the plan review in February 2026, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month. The filing indicates a completion date of August 2026. The scheduled build window for this project is 181 days, which is close to the county median of 214 days for new construction filings in the area. Despite the scheduled completion date having passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The bank has a long history in the region, with local coverage noting that Karnes County National Bank celebrates 124 years of Texas banking. A Facebook post by BeevilleChamber highlighted that the Beeville branch offers a wide range of financial services. Additionally, a listing on usbanklocations.com identifies the location as a full-service brick and mortar office at 1708 Wofford Lane. These third-party mentions reflect the bank's presence in the community, though they do not confirm the current operational status of this specific new construction project.
