Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-213169) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 16, 2016, as amended September 13, 2016 and September 21, 2016.

The Company hereby requests the Registration Statement be made effective at 12:00 p.m. New York City time on September 23, 2016, or as soon as practicable thereafter, in accordance with Rule 461 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

should the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

•

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

•

the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
