    <remarks>Although the reporting person was previously deemed to be an &quot;officer&quot; of the Issuer for purposes of Section 16 based on various positions held with the Issuer's subsidiary bank, First US Bank (the &quot;Bank&quot;), the Issuer's board of directors determined, at a meeting held on February 24, 2016, that the reporting person should no longer be designated a Section 16 &quot;officer.&quot;  However, in connection with his performance of certain significant policy-making functions for the Issuer through his current position with the Bank (Executive Vice President, Chief Risk Officer), the Issuer's board of directors determined, at a meeting held on February 26, 2020, that the reporting person should once again be designated a Section 16 &quot;officer&quot; of the Issuer.  As a result, the reporting person is filing this Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 3.</remarks>

LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
           The undersigned officer and/or director of First US Bancshares, Inc.
(the "Company") hereby constitutes and appoints each of  James F. House, Thomas
S. Elley, and Beverly J. Dozier, signing singly, the undersigned's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to:
(1)	execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity
as an officer and/or director of the Company, any and all Forms 3, 4 and 5
prepared for and on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated
thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), and any other forms or reports that the
undersigned may be required to file in connection with the undersigned's
ownership, acquisition or disposition of securities issued by the Company; and
(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5,
or other form or report, to complete and execute any amendment or amendments
thereto and to timely file such form or report with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any stock exchange or similar authority;
and
(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing that, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of or legally required by the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Limited Power of Attorney shall be in such form and
shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in
such attorney-in-fact's discretion.
       The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights
and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

       This Limited Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect
until the undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5, or other
forms or reports, with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions
in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned
in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

       By signing below, the undersigned does hereby revoke any and all other
power of attorney documents previously and otherwise executed in connection with
the undersigned's obligations as an officer and/or director of the Company to
prepare and file Forms 3, 4 and 5, or other forms or reports, or any amendment
or amendments thereto, with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority,
pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.  The undersigned hereby gives
notice to all who have received, relied on or acted upon such previously
executed power of attorney documents and all other interested parties that the
undersigned withdraws every power and authority thereby given and declares such
power of attorney documents null and void and of no further force or effect.
       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Limited Power of
Attorney to be executed as of this 26th day of February, 2020.
