Subsequent Events [Abstract]
COVID-19	COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments, including in Louisiana and Texas, have ordered businesses and individuals to modify their normal practices. This has resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, more than 30 million people have filed claims for unemployment, and the stock market has been volatile and in particular bank stocks have significantly declined in value. Certain industries have been particularly adversely affected, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry. Finally, the spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. As of July 31, 2020, both Louisiana and Texas are in a Phase 2 process for managing the pandemic which continues many limitations on how businesses must operate. First Guaranty continues to keep the majority of its locations open with certain modifications to our business practices. First Guaranty places a high priority on ensuring the safety and health of its customers and employees and has instituted social distancing protocols and enhanced cleaning measures as part of its operations. First Guaranty provided its employees with COVID-19 related financial bonuses and continues to provide support for employees working additional hours or relocated to alternative locations.
