Nine city rows. One total. Garland is a different county.
You searched Texarkana because a Bowie charge was given a Dallas transit line. The Bowie city rows, Texarkana, New Boston, Nash, Wake Village, De Kalb, Hooks, Maud, Redwater, and Leary, are each 8.25% with a 1.5% city tax and a 0.5% county tax. Garland is not a Bowie city. There is no Texarkana office to visit.
Nine Bowie city rows share one total. Texarkana, New Boston, Nash, Wake Village, De Kalb, Hooks, Maud, Redwater, and Leary are each city tax 1.5%, county tax 0.5%, transit blank, combined 8.25%. Those are the rows that have a city number. Garland is not among them. Garland's city rows are Collin County and Dallas County: city tax 1%, Dallas MTA 1%, combined 8.25%. Collin and Dallas are not this metro. Bowie County is the only county in the delineation, and it is central. New Boston is the seat.
Bowie's early-twenty-first-century work is agribusiness, lumbering, government services, and some manufacturing. Farm goods run through hay, soybeans, milo, rice, pecans, and nursery plants, with cattle, dairy, poultry, horses, and goats. Petroleum and gas followed a 1944 oil find. By the early 1980s farmers had left cotton, while livestock stayed important. A museum, a zoo, and college events are what the county page puts in Texarkana. The city page names lumber products, tile, gravel, mobile homes, tires, tank cars, paper, a federal correctional unit, a nursing department, and the hospitals, and it treats the city as the freight and shop center for this Texas-Arkansas corner. The delineation does not add an Arkansas county.
A paper shipment and a Nash counter can share Bowie. Dallas MTA is not on any of the nine rows.
Counties: Bowie (central).
One appraisal district. Bowie's business personal property rendition is due April 15 where the property sits. Texarkana and Nash are still two locations on that list.
State sales tax is 6.25%. Texarkana, New Boston, Nash, and De Kalb in Bowie County are each city tax 1.5%, county tax 0.5%, no transit, combined 8.25%. Wake Village, Hooks, Maud, Redwater, and Leary match that total and that mix. Garland is not a Bowie County city. Garland in Collin County and Garland in Dallas County are city tax 1%, Dallas MTA 1%, combined 8.25%. Those counties are outside this metro.
The franchise report is due May 15. Texas has no state income tax. The combined cap is 8.25%. The permit sets the sales-tax calendar.
Sort by city number, not by a Metroplex habit. The nine Bowie city rows are Texarkana, New Boston, Nash, Wake Village, De Kalb, Hooks, Maud, Redwater, and Leary. Each is city tax 1.5% and county tax 0.5%. Each combined total is 8.25%. Each transit column is empty. The courthouse is in New Boston. Texarkana's week, on the handbook pages, is the college, the zoo, the hospitals, the paper, and the tank cars. That week still uses the same nine-row recipe.
Garland belongs to Collin and to Dallas. Both of those city rows are city tax 1%, Dallas MTA 1%, combined 8.25%. Using Dallas MTA on a Bowie slip borrowed a city that has no Bowie city number. Keep mill books on the shelf. A slip that says Texarkana, New Boston, Nash, or De Kalb gets the 1.5% city tax and the 0.5% county tax, and nothing named Dallas MTA.
A tank car sitting in the yard is unsold. A paid college ticket is a charge. Soybeans still in a field are unsold. Cotton that farmers left in the early 1980s is history, not a current sale. Wake Village, Hooks, Maud, Redwater, and Leary use the same 8.25% mix as Texarkana. Do not invent a tenth Bowie city to explain a lower total. Lumber products, tile, gravel, mobile homes, tires, paper, and the federal correctional unit are the Texarkana city page's industries. The museum, the zoo, and the hospitals sit in that same city. None of them prints Dallas MTA. New Boston holds the courthouse and the same 1.5% city tax. Nash is the same mix. The county name is not a separate city rate. The nine city rows are the Bowie city numbers, and each total is 8.25%.
A mill, a clinic, and a New Boston counter start from the industry list if you need a longer guide.

County membership is the OMB 2023 delineation supplied for this project. That file lists Bowie only. City rates are the July 2026 Texas Comptroller city-rate file. The nine names above are the Bowie rows that have a city number. Each TotalTax is 8.25%. Garland's city rows are Collin and Dallas, not Bowie.
