GoldStar Trust Company started out as Colonial Trust Company, which was incorporated on August 19th, 1989, in the state of Arizona for the purpose of engaging in the business of acting as a fiduciary. In early 2004, Colonial Trust Company entered into purchase negotiations with Happy State Bank of Amarillo, Texas. As negotiations were finalized for the sale of Colonial Trust Company to Happy State Bank, Colonial's Wealth Management division was sold in August, 2004, while the final purchase of Colonial Trust by Happy State Bank occurred in August, 2004.

Upon the purchase, Colonial Trust Company became GoldStar Trust Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Happy State Banc Shares. It is regulated by the Texas Department of Banking and the FDIC.
