Texarkana People Directories
Texarkana people directories are not one database. The strongest current searchable directory found in the research is the Texarkana Arkansas School District staff directory. The City of Texarkana, Arkansas publishes department pages and named contacts, but no citywide searchable employee directory was located. Miller County pages list elected officials and staff by office, while public-record portals work as directories when they can be searched by name, owner, taxpayer, agent, or license holder.
| Directory Source | Who It Lists | Keeper | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| City department contact pages | City clerk, deputy clerk, court clerk, and department contacts | City of Texarkana, Arkansas | Department pages, not a citywide search. |
| County office pages | County clerk staff, circuit clerk staff, and elected offices | Miller County | Office pages on millercountyar.gov. |
| TASD staff directory | School district staff | Texarkana Arkansas School District | Name-filtered staff search. |
| Texarkana College directory | Regional college faculty and staff | Texarkana College | Institution directory. |
| Assessor and collector rolls | Owners, taxpayers, and business names | Miller County Assessor and Collector | actDataScout and ARCountyData. |
| Voter list | Registered voters, except secure-voter addresses | Miller County Clerk | Paper or thumb drive request. |
| City directories | Past residents and businesses | FamilySearch, libraries, archives | Texarkana Arkansas city directories, 1904-1960. |
Start with the directory that matches the clue. A current educator points to TASD or Texarkana College. A property clue points to the tax roll or recorder index. A former address points to city directories and archives. A business name points to Arkansas Secretary of State records, UCC filings, county DBA filings, and board license lookups.

That screenshot reflects the local finding that the school district has a true search box while the Arkansas city site mainly exposes department contacts.
Texarkana Government Directories
Government people directories in Texarkana are split by custodian. The City Clerk page lists city records and clerk contacts, while the district court, police records, and code enforcement pages list their own contacts. The Miller County Circuit Clerk and Miller County Clerk pages name elected officials and staff by office. These are directories of public roles, not personal address books.
| Name | Shown on many county and city office pages for elected officials or listed staff. |
|---|---|
| Title or Office | Clerk, deputy clerk, judge, records section, code enforcement, or similar public role. |
| Work Phone | Usually a main office or direct department number. |
| Shown on some pages, including several city and county contacts. | |
| Office Location | Often tied to courthouse, city hall, or the Bi-State Justice Building. |
| Limits | No Arkansas citywide staff search was located in the captured official sources. |
When a person is not listed, use the department main line, the clerk's office, or a precise Arkansas FOIA request for a public record. For access-law procedure, the full records request treatment belongs on the Texarkana public records page. This directory page stays focused on where names appear and what each directory lists.
Texarkana Education Directories
The education directory layer is stronger than the citywide municipal directory layer. TASD provides the clearest local staff search found in the research. The staff page text says to use the search field to filter by staff name. The research capture did not expose individual result fields, so do not assume every entry shows a phone, email, campus, or photo without checking the live result.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Directory Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text | No | Filters by staff name on the TASD staff page. |
| Schools | Menu or filter | No | The site has a schools menu, but captured text did not expose a full filter list. |
| Translate | Language tool | No | Site translation option appears on the page. |
Texarkana College is a regional institution, and its directory can help with faculty and staff context. Because the college serves the broader Texarkana area, check whether the person, program, or office is tied to Arkansas-side public records before treating it as a Miller County lead.

Use college and school directory entries as current role leads, then verify any legal or property question with the actual record custodian.
Texarkana Property Directories
Public records can work like people directories when the search field is a name. The Miller County collector search allows last name or business name, first name, address, tax year, PPAN or parcel number, taxpayer ID, tax book, receipt dates, property type, school district, and result sorting. The "Order Results By" choices include Parcel #, Year, Name, Owner Address, and Book.
The collector, assessor, and actDataScout channels are useful for owner and taxpayer clues. The recorder index is a grantor-grantee directory for property transfers, mortgages, liens, trusts, and name variants, but the county public page did not publish the online deed-index start year. Older deeds or certified copies may still require the recorder counter.
- Grantor
- The person or entity transferring an interest in recorded property.
- Grantee
- The person or entity receiving that recorded interest.
- PPAN or Parcel
- A property identifier used by tax and assessment systems.
- Owner Address
- A mailing clue that may differ from the property location.
Note: The research did not verify a live parcel-card sample, so exact card labels should be checked before relying on a field name.
Texarkana Business Directories
Business and professional directory work starts with official state and county indexes. The Arkansas Secretary of State Business Entity Search covers incorporations, cooperatives, banks, and insurance companies. The Arkansas UCC search is described as searchable by debtor name, creditor name, or file number. Miller County Clerk handles assumed names and DBAs, with the researched fee listed at $30.
Arkansas.gov license search and verification routes users to board rosters such as medical, nursing, dental, contractors, real estate, bar, and educator resources. These are not all one directory. Each board controls its own search fields and display details. Use board lookups to confirm a current professional identity, then use county records only for the records the county actually keeps.

The Texas-side directory can be relevant for a regional lead, but it is not the Arkansas municipal custodian for Texarkana, Arkansas records.
Historical Texarkana Directories
The confirmed historical directory run is the FamilySearch catalog entry for Texarkana Arkansas city directories, 1904-1960. City directories from that era can list residents by name, address, and sometimes occupation, business, or reverse address section. The research did not verify publisher names or exact reverse-directory years, so the safe claim is the confirmed catalog span.
| Historical Source | Coverage or Value | Access Note |
|---|---|---|
| FamilySearch Texarkana city directories | Texarkana Arkansas city directories, 1904-1960 | Catalog access, with image rights varying by item. |
| Arkansas State Archives Miller County finding aids | County subjects, archival material, newspapers, maps, and regional records | Online finding aids plus archive research room. |
| Miller County ARGenWeb | Volunteer genealogy links and old Miller County boundary notes | Free contributed genealogy source. |
The manifest includes the FamilySearch source image from the Texarkana city directories catalog.
Those city directories are the best confirmed former-resident directory source for address-to-name work on the Arkansas side of Texarkana.
Texarkana Archive Directory Quirks
Texarkana directory research has a border problem. Arkansas-side records route through Miller County, while Texas-side city offices and Bowie County sources may appear under the same city name. State Line Avenue is the practical dividing line downtown. The Arkansas city was chartered in 1880, modern Miller County was re-created in 1874, and many courthouse records begin around 1875.
For early families, the old Miller County issue is even more unusual. ARGenWeb warns that the Bowie County, Texas area was once thought part of old Miller County, Arkansas from 1820-1836, and some records moved to Lafayette County after old Miller County ceased to exist. That is why a historical people directory search may need Arkansas archives, Lafayette County, Texas-side repositories, and city directories.
The manifest source image for archive routing is the Arkansas State Archives Miller County finding aids.
Archive finding aids help when a name is too old for current staff directories, tax rolls, voter rolls, or license rosters.
Texarkana Genealogy Directories
Genealogy directories sit beside official records, not above them. Miller County ARGenWeb is useful because it collects cemetery, census, history, and local research links and flags the old boundary issue. FamilySearch's Miller County guide adds repository routing and notes that the County Clerk has marriage, probate, and land records from 1875 while the Circuit Clerk has divorce and court records.

Use volunteer genealogy pages as leads, then confirm vital, court, land, and probate facts with the official custodian or archive.
