The Company did not hold any securities classified as held-to-maturity at June 30, 2022, June 30, 2021, or December 31, 2021.

The Company invests in mortgage-backed securities that have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without a prepayment penalty. These securities include collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other asset backed securities. The expected maturities of these securities at June 30, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2021, were computed by using scheduled amortization of balances and historical prepayment rates.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2022, by contractual and expected maturity, are shown below (dollars in thousands):


	Amortized		Estimated
	Cost Basis		Fair Value
Due within one year	$	239,670	$	239,640
Due after one year through five years		2,912,498		2,780,193
Due after five years through ten years		2,925,448		2,630,741
Due after ten years		644,720		564,462
Total	$	6,722,336	$	6,215,036

The number of investments in an unrealized loss position totaled 834 at June 30, 2022. We believe any unrealized losses in the U.S. treasury securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, residential and commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed investment securities, and corporate bonds and other at June 30, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2021, are due to changes in interest rates and not credit-related events. As such, no allowance for credit losses is required on these securities at June 30, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2021. Unrealized losses on investment securities are expected to recover over time as these securities approach maturity. Our mortgage related securities are backed by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC or are collateralized by securities backed by these agencies. At June 30, 2022, 72.75% of our available-for-sale securities that are obligations of states and political subdivisions were issued within the State of Texas, of which 54.15% are guaranteed by the Texas Permanent School Fund.

At June 30, 2022, $3,744,730,000 of the Company’s securities were pledged, at fair value, as collateral for public or trust fund deposits, repurchase agreements, borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

During the three-months ended June 30, 2022, there were $188,363,000 sales of investment securities that were classified as available-for-sale. During the three-months ended June 30, 2021, there were calls of investment securities that were classified as available-for-sale. Gross realized security gains from calls and sales during the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 totaled $3,990,000 and $5,000, respectively. Gross realized security losses from calls and sales during the second quarter of 2022 totaled $2,342,000 with no gross realized security losses from calls and sales during the second quarter of 2021.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, sales of investment securities that were classified as available-for-sale totaled $188,363,000 and $10,631,000, respectively.
