Texarkana Justice of Peace Court serves the residents of Bowie County, the 41th largest county in Texas state. The county falls in the third senatorial district and the 11th congressional district. As a result, it holds a very special role that makes it supported by both the Texarkana district clerk and county clerk. Issues that should be filed with the county clerk or the district clerk should be strictly filed within the respective courts; luckily, the staff is friendly and will help you through the process.

The courts, the district clerk, and the county clerk’s office are located in the historic Bowie County Courthouse.

Texarkana Justice of Peace Court was first built in 1898 in the Bowie Courthouse Square where the first sessions of the court were held alfresco underneath the boughs of oak trees in December 1867. Four courthouses have been built in Texarkana. The current fourth courthouse is a great architectural marvel featuring a double-spiral staircase and a beautiful stained-glass montage in the dome.
