Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are reported in U.S. currency. American National consolidates entities that are wholly-owned and those in which American National owns less than 100% but controls, as well as variable interest entities in which American National is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes herein are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the interim consolidated statements of financial position, operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in American National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported consolidated financial statement balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of New Accounting Standards In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The new standard allows a proportional amortization approach and treats the net investment performance as a component of income tax expense. Previously, these investments were accounted for under the equity method that records changes to investment value as a component of investment income and generates a deferred tax balance until the investment terminates. American National adopted this standard effective January 1, 2015, with retrospective adoption as of January 1, 2013. Accordingly, upon adoption the investment in unconsolidated affiliate’s asset was reduced by $7,504,000 with a release of a related deferred tax liability of $2,937,000 resulting in a $4,567,000 reduction in the opening balance of stockholders’ equity at January 1, 2015. Financial statement amounts previously reported were revised as shown below (in thousands): As of December 31, 2014 As Reported As Adjusted Effect of Change Investment in unconsolidated affiliates $ 319,283 $ 311,779 $ (7,504 ) Deferred tax liabilities, net 290,112 287,175 (2,937 ) Retained earnings 4,003,209 3,998,642 (4,567 ) As Reported As Adjusted Effect of Change Three months ended September 30, 2014 Provision for federal income taxes, current $ 23,639 $ 25,104 $ 1,465 Provision for federal income taxes, deferred 3,110 3,431 321 Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 2,735 3,576 841 Net Income attributable to American National 67,884 66,939 (945 ) Nine months ended September 30, 2014 Provision for federal income taxes, current $ 55,690 $ 59,337 $ 3,647 Provision for federal income taxes, deferred 9,974 9,759 (215 ) Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 10,405 12,181 1,776 Net Income attributable to American National 178,023 176,367 (1,656 ) American National held investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects totaling $40,579,000 and $32,778,000 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, American National recognized tax credits and other tax benefits of $6,672,000 and $5,817,000, respectively, and amortized cost of $5,834,000 and $4,033,000, relating to these investments. At September 30, 2015 American National had commitments to provide additional funding to these investments during the following fiscal years as follows (in thousands): Expected year of payment 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Total Equity commitments $ 8,251 4,148 1,314 726 1,078 $ 15,517 Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that will supersede most existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP. Insurance contracts generally are excluded from the scope of the new guidance. For those contracts which are impacted by the guidance, the transaction price is attributed to the underlying performance obligations in the contract and revenue is recognized as the entity satisfies the performance obligations and transfers control of a good or service to the customer. In August 2015, the effective date of the guidance was deferred one year and is now effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption, which is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the consolidation analysis. The guidance modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities. The guidance eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs. The amended guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The impact of the adoption is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance to expand the disclosures that an insurance entity must provide about its short duration contracts. The additional disclosure about the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses is intended to increase the transparency of significant estimates made in the measuring of those liabilities. It will also provide additional insight into an insurance entity’s ability to underwrite and anticipate costs associated with claims. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The impact of the adoption is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial statements. |

American National has the ability and intent to hold those securities until a market price recovery or maturity. It is not more-likely-than-not that American National will be required to sell them prior to recovery, and recovery is expected in a reasonable period of time. It is possible an issuer’s financial circumstances may be different in the future, which may lead to a different impairment conclusion in future periods.

Mortgage Loans | Note 5 – Mortgage Loans Generally, commercial mortgage loans are secured by first liens on income-producing real estate. American National attempts to maintain a diversified portfolio by considering the location of the underlying collateral. The distribution based on carrying amount of mortgage loans by location are as follows: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 East North Central 18.8 % 19.4 % East South Central 4.4 5.0 Mountain 12.3 11.0 Pacific 10.0 10.8 South Atlantic 19.7 21.9 West South Central 29.2 24.9 Other 5.6 7.0 Total 100.0 % 100.0 % As of September 30, 2015, American National had foreclosed on two loans with a recorded investment of $19,328,000, and there was one loan in the process of foreclosure with a recorded investment of $2,450,000. There were two loans in the process of foreclosure with a recorded investment of $15,945,000 as of September 30, 2014. American National sold one loan with a recorded investment of $2,702,000 resulting in a realized loss of $1,602,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. No loans were sold in the same period in 2014.

No unearned income is included in these amounts. Allowance for Credit Losses The credit quality of the mortgage loan portfolio is assessed by evaluating the credit risk of the borrowers. A loan is classified as performing or non-performing based on whether all of the contractual terms of the loan have been met. Loans not evaluated individually for collectability are segregated by property-type and location, and allowance factors are applied. These factors are developed annually and reviewed quarterly based on our historical loss experience adjusted for the expected trend in the rate of foreclosure losses. Allowance factors are higher for loans of certain property types and in certain regions based on loss experience or a blended historical loss factor. The change in allowance for credit losses in mortgage loans is shown below (in thousands): Nine months ended September 30, Collectively Individually Evaluated Evaluated for Impairment for Impairment Beginning balance, 2015 $ 12,277 $ 5,583 Change in allowance (1,688 ) (3,403 ) Ending balance, 2015 $ 10,589 $ 2,180 At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the recorded investment for loans collectively evaluated for impairment was $3,405,419,000 and $3,321,241,000, respectively.

Concessions are generally one of, or a combination of, a delay in payment of principal or interest, a reduction of the contractual interest rate or an extension of the maturity date. American National considers the amount, timing and extent of concessions in determining any impairment or changes in the specific allowance for loan losses recorded in connection with a troubled debt restructuring. The carrying value after specific allowance, before and after modification in a troubled debt restructuring, may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment. The number of mortgage loans and recorded investment in troubled debt restructuring are as follows (in thousands, except number of contracts): Nine months ended September 30, 2015 2014 Number of Recorded Recorded Number of Recorded Recorded Office 2 $ 12,211 $ 12,211 3 $ 34,400 $ 30,996 There are no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans have been modified in troubled debt restructuring, and there have been no defaults on modified loans during the periods presented. |

Investment Real Estate | Note 6 – Investment Real Estate Investment real estate by property-type and geographic distribution are as follows: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Industrial 11.2 % 13.0 % Office 33.4 25.0 Retail 40.0 44.1 Other 15.4 17.9 Total 100.0 % 100.0 % September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 East North Central 12.3 % 4.5 % East South Central 3.8 4.6 Mountain 8.0 9.6 Pacific 6.1 7.1 South Atlantic 10.9 12.2 West South Central 53.0 55.6 Other 5.9 6.4 Total 100.0 % 100.0 % American National regularly invests in real estate partnerships and joint ventures. American National frequently participates in the design of these entities with the sponsor, but in most cases, its involvement is limited to financing. Through analysis performed by American National, some of these partnerships and joint ventures have been determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). In certain instances, in addition to an economic interest in the entity, American National holds the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity and is deemed the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The assets of the consolidated VIEs are restricted and must first be used to settle their liabilities. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of American National, as American National’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. American National has not provided financial or other support to the VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees, or other commitments to third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in the VIEs in 2015 or 2014. The assets and liabilities relating to the VIEs included in the consolidated financial statements are as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Investment real estate $ 165,685 $ 140,032 Short-term investments 1 1 Cash and cash equivalents 3,204 2,495 Accrued investment income 339 683 Other receivables 7,095 7,999 Other assets 6,316 8,483 Total assets of consolidated VIEs $ 182,640 $ 159,693 Notes payable $ 126,145 $ 108,177 Other liabilities 11,102 8,954 Total liabilities of consolidated VIEs $ 137,247 $ 117,131 The notes payable in the consolidated statements of financial position pertain to the borrowings of the consolidated VIEs. The liability of American National Insurance Company relating to notes payable of the consolidated VIEs is limited to the amount of its direct or indirect investment in the respective ventures, which totaled $32,277,000 and $15,016,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The total long-term portion of notes payable consists of four notes with the following interest rates: 4.0%, prime plus 0.5%, and two notes with adjusted LIBOR plus LIBOR margin. Of the long-term notes payable, $29,265,000 will mature in 2016, with the remainder maturing beyond 5 years. For other VIEs in which American National is a partner, it is not the primary beneficiary and these entities were not consolidated, as the major decisions that most significantly impact the economic activities of the VIE require unanimous consent of all partners. The carrying amount and maximum exposure to loss relating to unconsolidated VIEs follows (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Carrying Maximum Carrying Maximum Investment in unconsolidated affiliates $ 220,223 $ 220,223 $ 157,620 $ 157,620 Mortgage loans 212,972 212,972 172,408 172,408 Accrued investment income 778 778 721 721 As of September 30, 2015, a real estate investment with a carrying value of $4,028,000 was classified as held for sale. |

A fair value hierarchy is used to determine fair value based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant. American National has evaluated the types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. The classification of assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect American National’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models and third-party evaluation, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Fixed Maturity Securities and Equity Options The pricing service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Since fixed maturity securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. Additionally, an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and economic events. The extent of the use of each market input depends on the asset class and the market conditions. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant. For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary. American National has reviewed the inputs and methodology used and the techniques applied by the pricing service to produce quotes that represent the fair value of a specific security. The review confirms that the pricing service is utilizing information from observable transactions or a technique that represents a market participant’s assumptions. American National does not adjust quotes received from the pricing service. The pricing service utilized by American National has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information available. American National holds a small amount of private placement debt and fixed maturity securities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing. For these securities, a quote from an independent broker (typically a market maker) is obtained. Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate that the price is indicative only, American National includes these fair value estimates in Level 3. For securities priced using a quote from an independent broker, such as the equity options and certain fixed maturity securities, American National uses a market-based fair value analysis to validate the reasonableness of prices received from an independent broker. Price variances above a certain threshold are analyzed further to determine if any pricing issue exists. This analysis is performed quarterly. Equity Securities Mortgage Loans Embedded Derivative The significant unobservable input used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivatives is equity option implied volatility. An increase in implied volatility will result in an increase in the value of the equity-indexed embedded derivatives, all other things being equal. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the one year implied volatility used to estimate embedded derivative value was 20.1% and 17.3%, respectively. Other Financial Instruments Policy loans—The carrying value of policy loans is the outstanding balance plus any accrued interest. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans such that they cannot be separated from the policy contracts and the unpredictable timing of repayments and the fact that settlement is at outstanding value, American National believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value. Investment contracts —The carrying value of investment contracts is equivalent to the accrued account balance. The accrued account balance consists of deposits, net of withdrawals, plus or minus interest credited, fees and charges assessed and other adjustments. American National believes that the carrying value of investment contracts approximates fair value because the majority of these contracts’ interest rates reset to current rates offered at anniversary. Notes payable—Notes payable are carried at outstanding principal balance. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value because the underlying interest rates approximate market rates at the balance sheet date.

gains of $7,395,000 at September 30 2014, respectively. The transfers into Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, were the result of existing securities no longer being priced by the third-party pricing service at the end of the period. American National’s valuation of these securities involves judgment regarding assumptions market participants would use including quotes from independent brokers. The 2015 transfers out of Level 3 were securities being priced by a third-party service at the end of the period, using inputs that are observable or derived from market data, which resulted in classification of these assets as Level 2. |

Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses | Note 11 – Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses The liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses (“claims”) for accident and health, and property and casualty insurance is included in “Policy and contract claims” in the consolidated statements of financial position and is the amount estimated for claims that have been reported but not settled and IBNR claims. Liability for unpaid claims are estimated based upon American National’s historical experience and actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends and risk management programs and reduced for anticipated salvage and subrogation. The effects of the changes are included in the consolidated results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. Information regarding the liability for unpaid claims is shown below (in thousands): Nine months ended September 30, 2015 2014 Unpaid claims balance, beginning $ 1,132,394 $ 1,096,299 Less reinsurance recoverables 245,906 215,161 Net beginning balance 886,488 881,138 Incurred related to Current 705,988 706,824 Prior years (7,835 ) (29,044 ) Total incurred claims 698,153 677,780 Paid claims related to Current 414,287 410,077 Prior years 284,732 252,082 Total paid claims 699,019 662,159 Net balance 885,622 896,759 Plus reinsurance recoverables 215,464 235,485 Unpaid claims balance, ending $ 1,101,086 $ 1,132,244 The net and gross reserve calculations have shown favorable development as a result of favorable loss emergence compared to what was implied by the loss development patterns used in the original estimation of losses in prior years. Estimates for ultimate incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years decreased by approximately $7,835,000 during the first nine months of 2015 and $29,044,000 during the first nine months of 2014, reflecting lower-than-anticipated losses in the workers compensation, commercial auto, and personal auto liability lines of business. |

Management believes that a sufficient level of taxable income will be achieved over time to utilize the deferred tax assets in the consolidated federal tax return; therefore, no valuation allowance was recorded as of September 30, 2015 and 2014. There are no ordinary loss tax carryforwards that will expire by December 31, 2015. The statute of limitations for the examination of federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for years 2006 to 2009 has been extended. In the opinion of management, all prior year deficiencies have been paid or adequate provisions have been made for any tax deficiencies that may be upheld. No provision for penalties was established, and no interest expense was incurred for 2015 or 2014 relating to uncertain tax positions. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax benefits that could be recognized within the next twelve months that would decrease American National’s effective tax rate. |

The SARs vest at a rate of 20% per year for five years and expire five years after vesting. RS awards entitle the participant to full dividend and voting rights. Each RS share awarded has the value of one share of restricted stock and vests 10 years from the grant date. Unvested shares are restricted as to disposition, and are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The restrictions on these awards lapse after 10 years and these awards feature a graded vesting schedule in the case of the retirement of an award holder. Restricted stock awards for 350,334 shares have been granted at an exercise price of zero, of which 76,000 shares are unvested. RSU awards allow the recipient of the awards to settle the vested RSUs in either shares of American National’s common stock or cash. RSUs vest after a three-year graded vesting requirement or over a shorter period as a result of death, disability or retirement after age 65. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share were calculated using a weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include RS and RSU award shares.

RBC is calculated using formulas applied to certain financial balances and activities that consider, among other things, investment risks related to the type and quality of investments, insurance risks associated with products and liabilities, interest rate risks and general business risks. Insurance companies that do not maintain capital and surplus at a level at least 200% of the authorized control level RBC are required to take certain actions. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, American National Insurance Company’s statutory capital and surplus was $2,924,950,000 and $2,879,154,000, respectively. American National Insurance Company and each of its insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, substantially above 200% of the authorized control level. American National and its insurance subsidiaries prepare statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile which include certain components of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (“NAIC Codification”). NAIC Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting practices continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by the various state insurance departments may impact the statutory capital and surplus of American National Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries. Statutory accounting differs from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus. One of American National’s insurance subsidiaries has been granted a permitted practice from the Missouri Department of Insurance to record as the valuation of its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary that is the attorney-in-fact for a Texas domiciled insurer, the statutory capital and surplus of the Texas domiciled insurer. This permitted practice increases the statutory capital and surplus of both American National Insurance Company and the Missouri domiciled insurance subsidiary by $66,042,000 and $60,732,000 at September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. Additionally, the statutory capital and surplus of both American National Insurance Company and the Missouri domiciled insurance subsidiary would have remained substantially above the company action level RBC had it not used the permitted practice. The statutory capital and surplus and net income of our life and property and casualty insurance entities in accordance with statutory accounting practices are shown below (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Statutory capital and surplus Life insurance entities $ 1,927,011 $ 1,904,128 Property and casualty insurance entities 1,006,622 984,155 Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Statutory net income Life insurance entities $ 21,990 $ 43,447 $ 101,232 $ 139,564 Property and casualty insurance entities 29,253 22,718 43,190 44,852 Dividends American National Insurance Company’s payment of dividends to stockholders is restricted by statutory regulations. The restrictions require life insurance companies to maintain minimum amounts of capital and surplus, and in the absence of special approval, limit the payment of dividends to the greater of the prior year’s statutory net income from operations, or 10% of prior year statutory surplus. American National Insurance Company is permitted to pay total dividends of $287,915,000 during 2015, without prior approval of the Texas Department of Insurance. Similar restrictions on amounts that can transfer in the form of dividends, loans, or advances to American National Insurance Company apply to its insurance subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests American National County Mutual Insurance Company (“County Mutual”) is a mutual insurance company that is owned by its policyholders. American National has a management agreement that effectively gives it control of County Mutual. As a result, County Mutual is included in the consolidated financial statements of American National. Policyholder interests in the financial position of County Mutual are reflected as noncontrolling interest of $6,750,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. American National Insurance Company and its subsidiaries exercise significant control or ownership of various joint ventures, resulting in their consolidation into American National’s consolidated financial statements. The interests of the other partners in the consolidated joint ventures are shown as noncontrolling interests of $4,521,000 and $5,634,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Note 15 – Segment Information Management organizes the business into five operating segments: • Life—markets whole, term, universal, indexed and variable life insurance on a national basis primarily through career, multiple-line, and independent agents as well as direct marketing channels. • Annuity—offers fixed, indexed, and variable annuity products. These products are primarily sold through independent agents, brokers, and financial institutions, along with multiple-line and career agents. • Health—primary lines of business are Medicare supplement, stop loss, other supplemental health products and credit disability insurance. Health products are typically distributed through independent agents and managing general underwriters. • Property and Casualty—writes personal, agricultural and commercial coverages and credit-related property insurance. These products are primarily sold through multiple-line and independent agents. • Corporate and Other—consists of net investment income from investments not allocated to the insurance segments and revenues from non-insurance operations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to American National’s annual report on Form 10-K. • Recurring income from bonds and mortgage loans is allocated based on the assets allocated to each line of business at the average yield available from these assets. • Net investment income from all other assets is allocated to the insurance segments in accordance with the amount of capital allocated to each segment, with the remainder recorded in the Corporate and Other business segment. • Expenses are allocated based upon various factors, including premium and commission ratios of the operating segments. The following summarizes the results of operations measured as the income from continuing operations before federal income taxes, and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates by operating segments (in thousands): Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Life $ 10,193 $ 10,794 $ 25,523 $ 22,076 Annuity 4,433 24,366 38,668 70,415 Health (11,178 ) 9,304 1,725 19,579 Property and Casualty 33,980 30,088 42,758 59,790 Corporate and Other 9,232 20,223 78,752 63,305 Total $ 46,660 $ 94,775 $ 187,426 $ 235,165 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies Commitments American National had aggregate commitments at September 30, 2015, to purchase, expand or improve real estate, to fund fixed interest rate mortgage loans, and to purchase other invested assets of $765,008,000 of which $513,149,000 is expected to be funded in 2015 with the remainder funded in 2016 and beyond. American National has a $100,000,000 short-term variable rate borrowing facility containing a $55,000,000 sub-feature for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the facility are at the discretion of the lender and would be used only for funding working capital requirements. The combination of borrowings and outstanding letters of credit cannot exceed $100,000,000 at any time. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding letters of credit were $12,214,000, respectively, and there were no borrowings on this facility. This facility expires on October 30, 2016. American National expects it will be renewed on substantially equivalent terms upon expiration. Guarantees American National has guaranteed bank loans for customers of a third-party marketing operation. The bank loans are used to fund premium payments on life insurance policies issued by American National. The loans are secured by the cash values of the life insurance policies. If the customer were to default on the bank loan, American National would be obligated to pay off the loans. As the cash values of the life insurance policies always equal or exceed the balance of the loans, management does not foresee any loss on these guarantees. The total amount of the guarantees outstanding as of September 30, 2015, was approximately $206,376,000, while the total cash value of the related life insurance policies was approximately $208,696,000. Litigation American National and certain subsidiaries, in common with the insurance industry in general, are defendants in various lawsuits concerning alleged breaches of contracts, various employment matters, allegedly deceptive insurance sales and marketing practices, and miscellaneous other causes of action arising in the ordinary course of operations. Certain of these lawsuits include claims for compensatory and punitive damages. We provide accruals for these items to the extent we deem the losses probable and reasonably estimable. After reviewing these matters with legal counsel, based upon information presently available, management is of the opinion that the ultimate resultant liability, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on American National’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future. Such speculation warrants caution, as the frequency of large damage awards, which bear little or no relation to the economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given lawsuit. These lawsuits are in various stages of development, and future facts and circumstances could result in management changing its conclusions. It is possible that, if the defenses in these lawsuits are not successful, and the judgments are greater than management can anticipate, the resulting liability could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. With respect to the existing litigation, management currently believes that the possibility of a material judgment adverse to American National is remote and no estimate of range can be made for loss contingencies that are at least reasonably possible but not accrued. |
