It serves the majority of Texarkana, Texas and the surrounding communities of Wake Village and Nash. It is the largest school district in Bowie County and the largest district served by the Region VIII Education Service Center. Texarkana ISD does not service Texarkana, Arkansas side schools, who are managed by the Texarkana Arkansas Schools under the Arkansas State Government. It was established in 1889.
