Southwest Securities, Inc. was a Dallas-based financial services company founded in 1972. It was acquired by Hilltop Holdings Inc. in January 2015, and in January 2016 it merged with First Southwest Company to form HilltopSecurities. The consolidation brought together broker-dealer capabilities and a public finance advisory practice within a single platform, backed by more than a century of combined industry experience. Today the business operates under the HilltopSecurities brand and maintains a Dallas presence with a mid-sized workforce. Its lineage connects to broker-dealer activity and nationwide public finance advisory through First Southwest, situating it within the financial services sector. HilltopSecurities’ information and updates are available at hilltopsecurities.com, and recent activity includes a nationwide commercial launch in 2026.
