  In this letter, we show how the combination of both a gauged U(1)_X family
symmetry and an extended vertical gauge symmetry in a single model, allows for
the presence of additional Clebsch texture zeroes in the fermion mass matrices.
This leads to new structures for the textures, with increased predictivity, as
compared to schemes with enhanced family symmetries only. We illustrate these
ideas in the context of the Pati-Salam gauge group SU(4)xSU(2)_LxSU(2)_R$
supplemented by a U(1)_X gauged family symmetry. In the case of symmetric mass
matrices, two of the solutions of Ramond, Roberts and Ross that may not be
obtained by family symmetries only, are accurately reproduced. For
non-symmetric textures, new structures arise in models of this type. To
distinguish between the solutions in this latter case, we performed a numerical
fit to the charged fermion mass and mixing data. The best solution we found
allows a fit with a total chi^2 of 0.39, for three degrees of freedom.
