What is the former name of Washington Mutual?

25 Years ago there was a bank in Houston called San Jacinto Savings. They were bought by_______. That bank was bought by Wamu a few years back. What was the name in the middle?

Update:

Thank you, your link let me find the merger in Texas. It was Bank United.

Gracias

Update 2:

Thanks for the answers. The wikipedia site has a long list of mergers. The one that applies here was San Jacinto Savings purchased by Bank United which was purchased by Washington Mutual ...in Texas. Apparently it varies by state.
