Do you mean HR? or a specific person (analyst, associate, vp, etc.)?
Either way, the fact that its a satellite office vs. hq shouldn't change the answer much. Here's a tip though, make sure you include in your e-mail/call WHERE you got the person's contact info from (LinkedIn, mutual contact, etc.). This is a must.
p.s. what region are you targeting? What BB(s)?

I just thought it was funny that you were asking about regional offices of BBs and said you didn't want to give too much away and then said "Texas," to which the only likely conclusion would be Houston... I mean there's Dallas too, but people don't target Dallas.
I don't work in Houston unfortunately.

Do a google search for "bank name investment banking analyst (or associate, vp, md etc) houston linkedin" and you will probably get more results than using the actual linkedin search.

Don't worry about it too much. Most bankers are pretty much human. Don't be scared of the stereotype.
