Accounting Policies [Abstract]
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES Nature of Operations -Allegiance Bancshares, Inc. (“Allegiance”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Allegiance Bank, (the “Bank”, and together with Allegiance, collectively referred to as the “Company”) provide commercial and retail loans and commercial banking services. The Company derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operation of the Bank. The Company is focused on delivering a wide variety of relationship-driven commercial banking products and community-oriented services tailored to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses, professionals and individual customers. The Company operated 26 full-service banking locations in the Houston region, which it defines as the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land and Beaumont-Port Arthur metropolitan statistical areas, with 25 bank offices in the Houston metropolitan area and one bank office location in Beaumont, just outside of the Houston metropolitan area as of June 30, 2022. The Bank provides its customers with a variety of banking services including checking accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit, and its primary lending products are commercial, personal, automobile, mortgage and home improvement loans. The Bank also offers safe deposit boxes, automated teller machines, drive-through services and 24-hour depository facilities. Basis of Presentation -The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Pending Merger of Equals On November 8, 2021, Allegiance and CBTX, Inc., jointly announced that they entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals. Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Allegiance shareholders will receive 1.4184 shares of CBTX, Inc. common stock for each share of Allegiance common stock they own. Following the completion of the merger, we estimate that former Allegiance shareholders will own approximately 54% and former CBTX, Inc. shareholders will own approximately 46% of the combined company. The companies have received the requisite approvals from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Texas Department of Banking and both companies' shareholders and, subject to receipt of the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the satisfaction or in some cases waiver of the closing conditions, the parties anticipate closing in the third quarter of the year. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies The Company’s significant accounting and reporting policies can be found in Note 1 of the Company’s annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. New Accounting Standards Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." ASU 2022-02 eliminates the TDR accounting model for creditors that have already adopted Topic 326, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The FASB’s decision to eliminate the TDR accounting model is in response to feedback that the allowance under CECL already incorporates credit losses from loans modified as TDRs and, consequently, the related accounting and disclosures – which preparers often find onerous to apply – no longer provide the same level of benefit to users.

This is based upon the Company’s analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors related to its available for sale securities and in consideration of the Company's historical credit loss experience and internal forecasts. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Furthermore, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at June 30, 2022, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations at any time with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company utilizes a risk rating matrix to assign a risk rating to each of its loans. Loans are rated on a scale of 1 to 9. Risk ratings are updated on an ongoing basis and are subject to change by continuous loan monitoring processes including lending management monitoring, executive management and board committee oversight, and independent credit review. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio and methodology for calculating the allowance for credit losses, management assigns and tracks certain risk ratings to be used as credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the weighted-average risk grade of loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) the delinquency status of loans (iv) nonperforming loans and (vi) the general economic conditions in the Houston region. Individual bankers, under the oversight of credit administration, review updated financial information for all pass grade commercial loans to reassess the risk grade on at least an annual basis. When a loan has a risk grade of Pass/Watch (4), it is still considered a pass grade loan; however, it is considered to be on management’s “watch list,” where a significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term. When a loan reaches a set of internally designated criteria, including Substandard-nonperforming (7) or higher, a special assets officer generally will be involved in the monitoring of the loan on an on-going basis. The following is a general description of the risk ratings used: Watch —Loans classified as watch loans may still be of high quality, but have an element of risk added to the credit such as declining payment history, deteriorating financial position of the borrower or a decrease in collateral value. Special Mention —Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard —Loans classified as substandard have well-defined weaknesses on a continuing basis and are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower, declining collateral values, or a continuing downturn in their industry which is reducing their profits to below zero and having a significantly negative impact on their cash flow. These loans so classified are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful —Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loss —Loans classified as loss are to be charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

This valuation is compared to the remaining outstanding principal balance of the loan. If a loss is determined to be probable, the loss is included in the allowance for credit losses on loans as a specific allocation.

As of June 30, 2022, there were no loans modified under a troubled debt restructuring during the previous twelve-month period that subsequently defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2021, there was one loan for $59 thousand modified under a troubled debt restructuring during the previous twelve-month period that subsequently defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Default is determined at 90 or more days past due. The modifications primarily related to extending the amortization periods of the loans. The Company did not grant principal reductions on any restructured loans. There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to troubled debt restructured loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company added $1.8 million in new troubled debt restructurings, of which $1.7 million was still outstanding on June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company added $1.4 million in new troubled debt restructurings, of which $1.4 million was still outstanding on June 30, 2021. The Company granted principal and interest deferrals on outstanding loan balances to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, upon request and after meeting certain conditions, borrowers could be granted additional payment deferrals subsequent to the first deferral. In addition to the short-term modification program implemented by the Company, Section 4013 of the CARES Act and bank regulatory interagency guidance gave entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) indicating that a lender could conclude that the modifications are not a TDR if the borrower was less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2022, no loans with outstanding loan balances remained on deferral. If the impact of COVID-19 persists, borrower operations do not improve or if other negative events occur, such modified loans could transition to potential problem loans or into problem loans.

LEASES	Jun. 30, 2022
Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES Lease payments over the expected term are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for borrowings of similar terms. Generally, the Company cannot be reasonably certain about whether or not it will renew a lease until such time as the lease is within the last two years of the existing lease term. When the Company is reasonably certain that a renewal option will be exercised, it measures/remeasures the right-of-use asset and related lease liability using the lease payments specified for the renewal period or, if such amounts are unspecified, the Company generally assumes an increase (evaluated on a case-by-case basis in light of prevailing market conditions) in the lease payment over the final period of the existing lease term. There were no sale and leaseback transactions, leveraged leases or lease transactions with related parties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. At June 30, 2022, the Company had 17 leases consisting of branch locations and office space. On the June 30, 2022 balance sheet, the right-of-use asset is classified within premises and equipment and the lease liability is included in other liabilities. The Company also owns certain office facilities which it leases to outside parties under operating lessor leases; however, such leases are not significant. All leases were classified as operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain leases include options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one Supplemental lease information at the dates indicated is as follows: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (Dollars in thousands) Balance Sheet: Operating lease right of use asset classified as premises and equipment $ 8,757 $ 10,196 Operating lease liability classified as other liabilities $ 8,889 $ 10,370 Weighted average lease term, in years 4.81 4.97 Weighted average discount rate 2.60 % 2.62 % Lease costs for the dates indicated is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (Dollars in thousands) Income Statement: Operating lease cost $ 831 $ 860 $ 1,723 $ 1,733 Short-term lease cost — 16 — 31 Sublease income — (18) — (36) Total operating lease costs $ 831 $ 858 $ 1,723 $ 1,728 A maturity analysis of the Company’s lease liabilities is as follows: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (Dollars in thousands) Lease payments due: Within one year $ 1,312 $ 2,951 After one but within two years 2,362 2,350 After two but within three years 1,904 1,892 After three but within four years 1,378 1,366 After four but within five years 907 894 After five years 1,586 1,594 Total lease payments 9,449 11,047 Less: discount on cash flows 560 677 Total lease liability $ 8,889 $ 10,370

FAIR VALUE	Jun. 30, 2022
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE	FAIR VALUEThe Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability, otherwise known as an “exit price,” in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are: • Level 1—Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. • Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s judgment and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments that are reported on the balance sheet are as follows: As of June 30, 2022 Estimated Fair Value Carrying Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in thousands) Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 292,837 $ 292,837 $ — $ — $ 292,837 Available for sale securities 1,709,321 — 1,709,321 — 1,709,321 Loans held for investment, net of allowance 4,298,591 — — 4,118,460 4,118,460 Accrued interest receivable 29,882 9 8,067 21,806 29,882 Financial liabilities Deposits $ 5,880,632 $ — $ 5,863,764 $ — $ 5,863,764 Accrued interest payable 1,500 — 1,500 — 1,500 Subordinated debt 109,109 — 106,813 — 106,813 As of December 31, 2021 Estimated Fair Value Carrying Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in thousands) Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 757,509 $ 757,509 $ — $ — $ 757,509 Available for sale securities 1,773,765 — 1,773,765 — 1,773,765 Loans held for investment, net of allowance 4,172,546 — — 4,143,552 4,143,552 Accrued interest receivable 33,392 6 7,435 25,953 33,394 Financial liabilities Deposits $ 6,047,639 $ — $ 6,046,050 $ — $ 6,046,050 Accrued interest payable 1,753 — 1,753 — 1,753 Borrowed funds 89,956 — 73,699 — 73,699 Subordinated debt 108,847 — 113,355 — 113,355 The following tables present fair values for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is measured by estimating the fair value of the loan based on the present value of expected cash flows, the market price of the loan, or the underlying fair value of the loan’s collateral. For real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral is generally determined by third-party appraisals or internal evaluations, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparable methods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third-party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 10% of the appraised value. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral may be determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Other Real Estate Owned and Branch Assets Held for Sale Other real estate owned is comprised of real estate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loans. Branch assets held for sale are assets that are expected to be sold as a result of the closure of a banking location or land that was acquired for future expansion but for which banking use is no longer contemplated. Other real estate owned and branch assets held for sale are recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and closing costs at the date of transfer. Any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value less expected selling costs is charged to the allowance. Subsequent declines in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount and are recorded against earnings. The fair value of other real estate owned and branch assets held for sale are determined using third-party appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparable methods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 10% of the appraised value. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of other real estate owned was zero.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company entered into a financial derivative in 2020. Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other assets or other liabilities with any gain or loss related to changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged asset or liability affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged asset or liability. The Company uses forward cash flow hedges in an effort to manage future interest rate exposure on liabilities. The hedging strategy converts the variable interest rate on liabilities to a fixed interest rate and is used in an effort to protect the Company from floating interest rate variability. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company terminated the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge prior to its maturity date resulting in a net gain of approximately $225 thousand recognized into other noninterest expenses as the forecasted transaction will not occur. The Company did not have any derivatives designated as cash flow hedges outstanding at June 30, 2022. The effects of the Company’s cash flow hedge relationship on the statement of comprehensive income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows, before tax: Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (Dollars in thousands) Liability derivatives Interest rate swaps $ — $ (572) $ — $ 1,252

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
BORROWINGS AND BORROWING CAPACITY	BORROWINGS AND BORROWING CAPACITYThe Company has an available line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Dallas, which allows the Company to borrow on a collateralized basis. FHLB advances are used to manage liquidity as needed. The advances are secured by a blanket lien on certain loans. Maturing advances are replaced by drawing on available cash, making additional borrowings or through increased customer deposits. At June 30, 2022, the Company had a total borrowing capacity of $2.25 billion, of which $1.73 billion was available and $522.0 million was outstanding. There were no FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2022. Letters of credit were $522.0 million at June 30, 2022, of which $328.2 million will expire during the remaining months of 2022, $119.9 million will expire in 2023, $57.9 million will expire in 2024 and $16.0 million will expire in 2025. On December 28, 2018, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement to increase the maximum commitment to advance funds to $45.0 million which reduces annually by $7.5 million beginning in December 2020 and on each December 22nd each year thereafter. The Company is required to repay any outstanding balance in excess of the then-current maximum commitment amount. The revised agreement will mature in December 2025 and is secured by 100% of the capital stock of the Bank. At June 30, 2022, the balance on the revolving credit agreement was zero. The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants. At June 30, 2022, the Company believes it was in compliance with all such debt covenants. The interest rate on the debt is the Prime Rate minus 25 basis points, or 4.50% at June 30, 2022, and is paid quarterly.

SUBORDINATED DEBT	Jun. 30, 2022
Subordinated Borrowings [Abstract]
SUBORDINATED DEBT	SUBORDINATED DEBT Junior Subordinated Debentures On January 1, 2015, the Company acquired F&M Bancshares, Inc. and assumed Farmers & Merchants Capital Trust II and Farmers & Merchants Capital Trust III. Each of these trusts is a capital or statutory business trust organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and investing the proceeds in the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The preferred trust securities of each trust represent preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the junior subordinated debentures held by the trust. The common securities of each trust are wholly owned by the Company. Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related junior subordinated debentures. The debentures, which are the only assets of each trust, are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s present and future senior indebtedness. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed each trust’s obligations under the trust securities issued by such trust to the extent not paid or made by such trust, provided such trust has funds available for such obligations. The junior subordinated debentures are included in Tier 1 capital under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. Under the provisions of each issue of the debentures, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on either issue of the debentures are deferred, the distributions on the applicable trust preferred securities and common securities will also be deferred. The Company assumed the junior subordinated debentures with an aggregate original principal amount of $11.3 million and a current carrying value at June 30, 2022 of $9.8 million. At acquisition, the Company recorded a discount of $2.5 million on the debentures. The difference between the carrying value and contractual balance will be recognized as a yield adjustment over the remaining term for the debentures. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $11.3 million outstanding in junior subordinated debentures issued to the Company’s unconsolidated subsidiary trusts. The junior subordinated debentures are included in tier 1 capital under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. A summary of pertinent information related to the Company’s issues of junior subordinated debentures outstanding at June 30, 2022 is set forth in the table below: Description Issuance Date Trust Preferred Securities Outstanding Interest Rate (1) Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to Trusts Maturity Date (2) (Dollars in thousands) Farmers & Merchants Capital Trust II November 13, 2003 $ 7,500 3 month LIBOR + 3.00% $ 7,732 November 8, 2033 Farmers & Merchants Capital Trust III June 30, 2005 3,500 3 month LIBOR + 1.80% 3,609 July 7, 2035 $ 11,341 (1) The 3-month LIBOR in effect as of June 30, 2022 was 1.9703%.

Subordinated Notes In December 2017, the Bank completed the issuance, through a private placement, of $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes (the "Bank Notes") due December 15, 2027. The Bank Notes were issued at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, resulting in net proceeds to the Bank of $39.4 million. The Bank Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per annum until (but excluding) December 15, 2022, payable semi-annually in arrears. From December 15, 2022, the Bank Notes will bear a floating rate of interest equal to 3-Month LIBOR + 3.03% until the Bank Notes mature on December 15, 2027, or such earlier redemption date, payable quarterly in arrears. The Bank Notes will be redeemable by the Bank, in whole or in part, on or after December 15, 2022 or, in whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain specified tax events, capital events or investment company events. Any redemption will be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Bank Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and will be subject to, and require, prior regulatory approval. The Bank Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holders. In September 2019, the Company completed the issuance of $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes (the "Company Notes") due October 1, 2029. The Company Notes were issued at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $58.6 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to support its growth and for general corporate purposes. The Company Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.70% per annum until (but excluding) October 1, 2024, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, commencing on April 1, 2020. Thereafter, from October 1, 2024 through the maturity date, October 1, 2029, or earlier redemption date, the Company Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the then-current three-month LIBOR, plus 313 basis points (3.13%) for each quarterly interest period (subject to certain provisions set forth under “Description of the Notes—Interest Rates and Interest Payment Dates” included in the Prospectus Supplement), payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. Any redemption will be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Company Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and will be subject to, and require, prior regulatory approval. The Company Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holders.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 18.4%, compared to 18.0% and 17.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Interest and penalties related to tax positions are recognized in the period in which they begin accruing or when the entity claims the position that does not meet the minimum statutory thresholds. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and does not have any interest or penalties recorded in the income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the U.S. Federal Tax Jurisdiction for the years prior to 2018.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION	Jun. 30, 2022
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK BASED COMPENSATION At June 30, 2022, the Company had two stock-based employee compensation plans with awards outstanding. In connection with the acquisition of Post Oak Bancshares, Inc. on October 1, 2018, the Company assumed the Post Oak Bancshares, Inc. Stock Option Plan, under which no additional awards will be issued. During 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 2019 Amended and Restated Stock Awards and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) covering certain awards of stock-based compensation to key employees and directors of the Company. Under the Plan, the Company is authorized to issue a maximum aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of stock, up to 1,800,000 of which may be issued through incentive stock options. The Company accounts for stock based employee compensation plans using the fair value-based method of accounting. The Company recognized total stock based compensation expense of $931 thousand and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Stock Options Options to purchase a total of 1,309,231 shares of Company stock have been granted as of June 30, 2022. Options are exercisable for up to 10 years from the date of the grant and, dependent on the terms of the applicable award agreement generally vest four years after the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. A summary of the activity in the stock option plans during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is set forth below: Number of Weighted Weighted Aggregate (Shares in thousands) (In years) (Dollars in thousands) Options outstanding, January 1, 2022 283 $ 22.74 2.90 $ 5,508 Options granted — — Options exercised (49) 22.92 Options forfeited (14) 23.21 Options outstanding, June 30, 2022 220 $ 22.67 2.49 $ 3,326 Options vested and exercisable, June 30, 2022 223 $ 22.83 2.49 $ 3,326 As of June 30, 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. Restricted Stock Awards During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 11,864 shares of restricted stock. The shares of restricted stock generally vest over a period of four years and are considered outstanding at the date of issuance. The Company accounts for shares of restricted stock by recording the fair value of the grant on the award date as compensation expense over the vesting period. A summary of the activity of the nonvested shares of restricted stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is as follows: Number of Weighted (Shares in thousands) Nonvested share awards outstanding, January 1, 2022 168 $ 34.23 Share awards granted 12 42.29 Share awards vested (56) 34.24 Unvested share awards forfeited or cancelled (3) 32.82 Nonvested share awards outstanding, June 30, 2022 121 $ 34.92 As of June 30, 2022, there was $3.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the restricted stock awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.14 years. Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) PSUs are earned subject to certain performance goals being met after the two-year performance period and will be settled in shares of Allegiance Common Stock following a one-year service period. There were no PSUs awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company awarded 56,255 PSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The grant date fair value of the PSUs is based on the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions and is calculated at target based on a combination of the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date and a Monte Carlo simulated fair value in accordance with ASC 718. At June 30, 2022, there was $1.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.55 years.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESIn the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company enters into these transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit, which involve to varying degrees elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are as follows: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Fixed Variable Fixed Variable (Dollars in thousands) Commitments to extend credit $ 566,388 $ 634,490 $ 484,441 $ 607,106 Standby letters of credit 6,490 14,297 8,536 12,624 Total $ 572,878 $ 648,787 $ 492,977 $ 619,730 Commitments to extend credit include lines of credit as well as commitments to make new loans. Commitments to make loans are generally made for an approval period of 120 days or fewer. As of June 30, 2022, the funded fixed rate loan commitments had interest rates ranging from 1.00% to 13.49% with a weighted average maturity and rate of 3.71 years and 4.77%, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the funded fixed rate loan commitments had interest rates ranging from 1.00% to 13.49% with a weighted average maturity and rate of 3.71 years and 4.68%, respectively. Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments . In addition to the allowance for credit losses on loans, the Company has established an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments, classified in other liabilities and adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The allowance represents estimates of expected credit losses over the contractual period in which there is exposure to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on the commitments expected to fund. The estimate of commitments expected to fund is informed by historical analysis looking at utilization rates. The expected credit loss rates applied to the commitments expected to fund is informed by the general valuation allowance utilized for outstanding balances with the same underlying assumptions and drivers. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $6.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. This reserve is maintained at a level management believes to be sufficient to absorb losses arising from unfunded loan commitments. The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments (dollars in thousands): Balance at March 31, 2022 $ 5,520 Provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments 544 Balance at June 30, 2022 $ 6,064 Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 5,298 Provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments 766 Balance at June 30, 2022 $ 6,064 Litigation From time to time, the Company is subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company is not party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which it believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against the Company could have a material adverse effect for the period in which such claim or litigation is resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention and may materially adversely affect the Company’s reputation, even if resolved in its favor. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against any future claims or litigation.

REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS	Jun. 30, 2022
Regulatory Capital Matters [Abstract]
REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS	REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERSThe Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines, and for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can cause regulators to initiate actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guideline for U.S. Banks (Basel III Rules) were fully phased in when the capital conservation buffer reached 2.5%. Management believes as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were then subject. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If less than well capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. The following is a summary of the Company’s and the Bank’s actual and required capital ratios as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Actual Minimum Required for Capital Adequacy Purposes Minimum Required Plus Capital Conservation Buffer To Be Categorized As Well-Capitalized Under Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in thousands) ALLEGIANCE BANCSHARES, INC.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE	EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method. Outstanding stock options and PSUs issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average shares. Restricted shares are considered outstanding at the date of grant, accounted for as participating securities and included in basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Performance share units that vest based on the Company’s performance and service conditions that have not been achieved as of the end of the period are not included in basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation -The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Pending Merger of Equals On November 8, 2021, Allegiance and CBTX, Inc., jointly announced that they entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals. Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Allegiance shareholders will receive 1.4184 shares of CBTX, Inc. common stock for each share of Allegiance common stock they own. Following the completion of the merger, we estimate that former Allegiance shareholders will own approximately 54% and former CBTX, Inc. shareholders will own approximately 46% of the combined company. The companies have received the requisite approvals from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Texas Department of Banking and both companies' shareholders and, subject to receipt of the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the satisfaction or in some cases waiver of the closing conditions, the parties anticipate closing in the third quarter of the year.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." ASU 2022-02 eliminates the TDR accounting model for creditors that have already adopted Topic 326, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The FASB’s decision to eliminate the TDR accounting model is in response to feedback that the allowance under CECL already incorporates credit losses from loans modified as TDRs and, consequently, the related accounting and disclosures – which preparers often find onerous to apply – no longer provide the same level of benefit to users.
