This brings us to the narrower question of who does a good job with escrow accounts? You’ll probably want to select a Texas financial institution – one with FDIC insurance on it. FDIC protects each account against the possibility of a bank failure.

Also, note that under Paragraph g of the same section, brokers may, but are not required to, maintain separate accounts for funds received as earnest money and security deposits. However, my recommendation would still be to maintain segregation. Commingling funds is usually seen as less than optimal practice for a fiduciary.
