The Credit Union was chartered on November 7th, 1951 with an original field of membership comprised of employees from Southwestern Bell and the Lufkin Conroe Telephone Exchange.

In 1999, the Credit Union obtained a community charter which allowed services to be offered to any person that lived or worked in the Nacogdoches area as well as their families.

In 2005, Doches Credit Union opened its first full service branch in Center, Texas.

In 2011, its second full service branch opened across from Pilgrim’s Pride in Nacogdoches.

In 2013, Doches Credit Union completed a merger with Toledo Bend Teacher Credit Union, expanding the Credit Union’s reach into Sabine County.
