Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES Legal Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company may have various legal claims and other similar contingent matters outstanding for which a loss may be realized. For these claims, the Company establishes a liability for contingent losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. For claims determined to be reasonably possible but not probable of resulting in a loss, there may be a range of possible losses in excess of the established liability. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an accrued contingent liability of $5.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively. McClain Feed Yard Litigation. Mechanics Bank is currently a defendant in (i) actions filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, captioned AgTexas Farm Credit Services, et al. v. Rabo AgriFinance, LLC, et al. and 2B Farms, et al. v. Rabo AgriFinance, LLC, et al., which were consolidated in the bankruptcy case captioned In re McClain Feed Yard, Inc., et al. (jointly administered with In re 2B Farms), (ii) a related adversary proceeding filed by a court-appointed Chapter 7 Trustee captioned Kent Ries, et al. v. Community Financial Services Bank et al. (In re McClain Feed Yard, Inc.), and (iii) a Kentucky putative class action captioned Tindal and Rogers v. Community Financial Services Bank, et al., brought on behalf of investors in that state. These cases allege that the defendants knowingly or negligently aided and abetted a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Kentucky farmer Brian McClain, who was accused of defrauding investors of millions of dollars through a fictitious “ghost” cattle scheme. On March 27, 2026, the bankruptcy court granted Mechanics Bank’s motion to dismiss all of the Trustee’s common-law claims. On April 10, 2026, the court granted Mechanics Bank’s motion to dismiss the Trustee’s constructive fraudulent transfer claims with prejudice, as well as the Trustee’s preferential transfer and actual fraudulent transfer claims without prejudice and with leave to replead. (By this order, the court dismissed all of the Trustee’s claims against Mechanics Bank, four with prejudice and two without prejudice.) On April 13, 2026, the Trustee filed a motion to reconsider, which Mechanics Bank opposed on May 1, 2026. The court directed the Trustee to wait until the court rules on other pending motions to dismiss filed by co-defendants before filing a third amended complaint.
