notes: |
  limit_count is 0 — no published rate limits, no documented response headers (no X-RateLimit-*,
  RateLimit-* or Retry-After surface exists to observe) and no documented exhaustion status code,
  because Hilltop Holdings publishes no API. Searched 2026-09-14; the claimed host
  api.hilltop-holdings.com does not resolve in DNS. Original note follows.
  Hilltop Holdings does not publish a public developer portal or rate-limit documentation at the
  holding-company level. Limits are enforced under bilateral subsidiary agreements (PlainsCapital Bank,
  HilltopSecurities, PrimeLending) and are not publicly disclosed.
