The new payout, equal to 88 cents a year, represents an annual yield of about 4% based on Tuesday's closing price of $22.12.
The Veritex Community Bank parent said the higher dividend will be paid on or after May 22 to shareholders of record as of May 8.
Also on Tuesday, the Dallas-based company posted a profit of $29.1 million, or 53 cents a share, in the first quarter, compared with a profit of $24.2 million, or 44 cents a share, a year earlier.
Adjusted per-share earnings of 54 cents topped the 51 cents that analysts polled by FactSet expected.
