About Allegiance Bancshares, Inc.

Allegiance Bancshares, Inc. (ABTX) was a U.S.-listed banking company on the NASDAQ in the United States, historically headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company operated through its banking subsidiary, Allegiance Bank, which began banking operations in October 2007. From the outset, Allegiance positioned itself as a relationship-oriented regional bank, focused on commercial banking, small- and mid-sized business clients, professionals, and local households in Texas.

The company emphasized a “relationship-driven” model rather than a broad national retail footprint, with lending activity concentrated in and around the Houston area. Public filings describe a franchise built to serve local customers with a mix of commercial loans, retail banking products, and deposit services tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs, professionals, and individuals.

Over time, it completed several targeted transactions, including the acquisitions of Independence Bank, Enterprise Bank, Post Oak Bank, and a branch transaction involving LoweryBank. These deals helped expand its scale, deepen its deposit base, and reinforce its presence in attractive local markets while keeping the franchise highly focused on Southeast Texas.

That footprint placed Allegiance in one of the most economically important banking markets in Texas, benefiting from Houston’s diversified economy and the credit demand associated with business formation, real estate, energy, and professional services. The company’s headquarters was at 8847 West Sam Houston Parkway North, Suite 200, Houston, Texas.

Under the merger terms, Allegiance shareholders received CBTX shares, and Allegiance ceased to exist as a standalone listed company. For equity investors and analysts, that matters because ABTX is now primarily relevant from a historical and transaction-reporting perspective, including SEC Form 4 insider filings rather than current standalone trading fundamentals.
