500 N State Line Ave
Texarkana, TX 75501

The Texarkana Federal Courthouse, built in 1933, is a historic landmark notable for being the only federal office building that straddles a state line, specifically between Texas and Arkansas. The structure features a base of Texas pink granite and walls made of limestone from Arkansas, reflecting its unique geographical significance.

This courthouse has a rich history, with the Texas-Arkansas state boundary established in 1841 running through its center. Originally, separate post offices existed for each state until a joint office was constructed on the site in 1892, which was later razed to make way for the current building.
