Former credit union manager imprisoned for embezzling over $200,000 from elderly clients

A 58-year-old Prairie View woman was found guilty and was sentenced for embezzlement by a federal credit union employee.

Gloria Hall pleaded guilty April 23, 2024.



Hall was employed at Prairie View Federal Credit Union (PVFCU). From 2017 through 2019, while acting as manager, she purposefully maintained an antiquated business practice which would not allow customers to access their accounts online. Hall admitted she was able to and did access at least two elderly customer accounts and misappropriated $211,563.12 of their funds for her own personal gain.



PVFCU was one of the oldest continually operational federal credit unions a historically black college or university had established in the United States. It did not survive Hall's embezzlement. PVFCU existed for approximately 85 years prior to its failure and merger with the Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union in early 2022.



Hall was permitted to remain on bond and voluntarily surrender to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.



The FBI – Bryan Resident Agency conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Carter prosecuted the case.
