The man verbally threatened he had a weapon and demanded cash. Authorities said he also showed the teller a threatening note.
Officials said the bank robber then held open a plastic bag for the teller to put the cash in. The teller put some cash in the bag, and the robber then quickly fled from the bank.
Authorities said the man got into a Chevrolet Suburban, likely an older model from 1998-2000. The bank robber was last seen driving in the Chevrolet, heading south on Wirt Road, and then east on I-10.
Officials said no weapon was ever seen during the robbery and no one was physically hurt.
Houston FBI describes the bank robber as a 25- to 30-year-old Middle Eastern male, approximately 5-foot 6-inches to 5-foot 7-inches tall, and weighing 160 pounds with a medium build.
Authorities said the man has brown eyes and a birthmark or scar on his upper-left cheek. He wore a dark blue jogging suit with a hood and a white bandana covering the top of his head, and what officials say appeared to be an inexpensive fake beard.
Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging and arrest of this robber.
