Excited to see Texarkana featured in the August 2026 national newsletter of the National Society United States Daughters of 1812.

The article highlights the recent dedication of the Freeman Custis Red River Expedition historical marker and recognizes the significance of the 1806 expedition commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson.

Thank you to Mayor Bob Bruggeman, Matt Solomon, and everyone who helped make the marker and dedication possible. Their efforts are helping preserve and share an important part of Texarkana’s regional and national history.

Heads Up TXK! 🚧🦺

Our Public Works crews are tackling drainage improvements on Leggett Drive to help keep water moving where it should and better protect our streets and neighborhoods during heavy rain. This project is expected to last until September 3rd!

A lot of the work that keeps our city running may not always be in the spotlight, but it makes a big difference. We appreciate our hardworking men and women for putting in the work, especially in this Texas heat, to keep Texarkana moving forward! 💪

A big THANK YOU to the Texas High School football team and coaches for cleaning up the Rosehill community today, the neighborhood where each of their home games are played.

For the past 10 years, THS football teams have cleaned the Rosehill area before the season begins. Their hard work made an immediate impact helping close three Code Enforcement cases today.

Thank you for giving back to the community and continuing this great tradition of service.

One house. One property. One neighborhood at a time. 👏🏼

We’re proud to highlight some of the quiet work happening behind the scenes every day in Texarkana. Our Code Enforcement team works alongside residents and property owners to address concerns, find solutions, and strengthen our neighborhoods.

It’s not always work that gets noticed, but its impact that can be seen throughout our community. Thank you to our Code Enforcement Officers for helping make Texarkana a better place to call home!

A special thank you to Texarkana native Byron Williams for sharing his inspiring journey from the NFL to a life of service.
