History and predecessors

The predecessor of ANBTX—Waters, Bivins & Corley Bank—was the first bank founded in Terrell on November 22, 1875. [4] The bank’s building was destroyed by a fire in 1882, but bank records and securities were protected in the bank’s vault. The bank relocated to Moore Avenue in Terrell; today that location houses the Terrell banking center for ANBTX. After some early partners joined and left the bank, the bank merged with Harris Bank and renamed itself Harris National Bank in 1895. In 1903, the bank changed its name to the American National Bank of Terrell. In 1930, the American National Bank of Terrell merged with federally chartered local bank First National Bank. [5] In 1995, American National Bank of Terrell changed its name to its current name, American National Bank of Texas.

Major acquisitions

The Bank of Van Zandt: American National Bank of Texas merged with The Bank of Van Zandt, located in Canton, TX, in 1999. [6] The merger increased ANBTX assets to more than $650 million at the time. [7]

Branches of Benchmark Bank: ANBTX acquired five branch locations of Benchmark Bank in October 2002, in Quinlan, Greenville, Royse City, and Lone Oak, TX. [8]

Sleeper, Sewell & Co.: Acquired by ANBTX in 2006, Sleeper Sewell offers personal and commercial insurance, group and individual health coverage, and risk management services. It currently operates as a division of ANBTX Insurance Services Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ANBTX. Sleeper Sewell was founded in 1962 by Dwight Sleeper and is headquartered in Dallas. [9]

Citizens National Bank: ANBTX expanded operations into Tarrant County by purchasing Bryant-Irvin Bancshares and its subsidiary Citizens National Bank in 2008. Citizens National Bank based in Fort Worth, TX, reported $140 million in total assets at the time of the acquisition. [10]

Dallas National Bank: In 2008, ANBTX acquired Dallas National Bank and its holding company DNB Bancshares. Dallas National Bank had $85 million in assets at the time of the acquisition. The purchase increased the number of ANBTX locations to 28. [11]

Media recognition

The Dallas Morning News has named ANBTX on its annual “Top Workplaces D-FW” list from 2009 to 2023. [12] This is the 14th time ANBTX has achieved this significant recognition as a top employer in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The newspaper conducts employee surveys, studies employee turnover rates and uses other statistical measures to compile its annual list.

In 2012, ANBTX was named as one of the “Top 10 Best Companies for Employee Financial Security” by Principal Financial Services.
