Mesashore Finance in Texarkana, Arkansas takes funding requests from both sides of the Arkansas-Texas line. This page explains which places have their own pages, which are described here, and why Arkansas and Texas figures are kept apart.
The Arkansas-Texas Line Through Texarkana, AR and Texarkana, TX: Which Figures Apply
Texarkana, AR and Texarkana, TX are two cities in two states and two counties: Miller County, AR on the east and Bowie County, TX on the west. A restaurant's figures come from the county and ZIP where it sits. On this site, Miller County, AR and ZIP 71854 counts describe the Arkansas side only, and ZIP 75503 counts describe part of the Texas side.
Each side has its own page: the Texarkana, AR page and the Texarkana, TX page. State rules differ too, including taxes and licensing, so a business near the line should confirm which state's rules apply at its address.
Retailers on Both Sides of the State Line in Texarkana, AR and Texarkana, TX
Retail is a large employer group on both sides. ZIP 71854 had 100 retail employer establishments in 2023, the most of any sector there, and ZIP 75503 had 163, second to health care and social assistance at 207 in that ZIP (ZIP Code Business Patterns). The ZIP counts include areas outside both cities' limits.
For shop owners on either side, business loans for retail covers fixtures, remodels and stock.
Nash, TX, Wake Village, TX and Other Bowie County, TX Towns Near Texarkana, AR
Nash, TX sits 5.7 miles west-northwest of the office and Wake Village, TX 5.0 miles west, both in Bowie County, TX. Red Lick, TX (8.2 miles), Leary, TX (10.3 miles), Hooks, TX (14.6 miles), Maud, TX (18.8 miles) and New Boston, TX (22.0 miles) lie farther out. Distances are straight-line miles from the office geocode to each place's Census internal point.
None of these towns has its own page. ZIP 75569, the Nash ZIP, held 96 employer establishments in 2023, and Nash covers most of that ZIP's land (93.4%). Miller County, AR figures do not describe any of these Texas towns.
Fouke, AR, Genoa, AR and Garland, AR: Miller County, AR Places Without a Page
Fouke, AR lies 14.3 miles southeast of the office, Genoa, AR, a Census-designated place, 9.6 miles east-southeast, and Garland, AR 19.3 miles east-southeast, all in Miller County, AR. Their businesses are part of the county counts used on this site, but the places are too small for pages of their own.
ZIP 71837, the Fouke ZIP, had 42 employer establishments in 2023, though Fouke covers less than 1% of that ZIP's land (0.8%), so the ZIP figure says little about the town itself.
Ashdown, AR and Little River County, AR to the North
Ashdown, AR, 18.1 miles north-northwest of the office, is in Little River County, AR, not Miller County, so county figures on this site do not describe it. Ogden, AR (11.3 miles north) is also in Little River County, AR. ZIP 71822, the Ashdown ZIP, had 137 employer establishments in 2023, with Ashdown covering 2.9% of the ZIP's land.
Owners there can send a request the same way, by phone or web form.
Bowie County, TX Appraisal District Property Search and the Funding Side of a Move
On the Texas side, property is appraised by the Bowie Central Appraisal District, listed in the Texas Comptroller's Bowie County directory, and its website offers a property search. A buyer checking a Texarkana, TX building's appraised value, or a lender checking collateral, starts there.
Moving a business across the line changes the property tax, the sales tax and the licensing that applies. Build those differences into any comparison of two sites before asking for funding to move.
