TEMPLE-INLAND ANNOUNCES FURTHER

REPOSITIONING OF MORTGAGE OPERATION

AUSTIN, TEXAS, November 29, 2005— Temple-Inland announced today plans to further reposition the mortgage origination activities within its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank. Guaranty Bank intends to sell its wholesale origination network and concentrate mortgage origination efforts on consumer direct mortgage lending available through its banking centers and restructured correspondent networks.

These actions, along with the repositioning efforts in fourth quarter 2004, will further reduce costs and exposure to changing market conditions, positioning financial services for continued strong financial performance. This repositioning is anticipated to be complete by year end 2005 and will result in the elimination of 250 positions. Excluding special charges associated with these repositioning activities, earnings in fourth quarter 2005 are expected to be comparable with fourth quarter 2004.
