  • 1102.13 Multi-Jurisdictional Authority and Arrests
    TEXARKANA POLICE DEPARTMENT GENERAL ORDERS MANUAL SUBJECT Multi-Jurisdictional Authority & Arrests EFFECTIVE NUMBER 1102.13 February 15, 2011 DATE Scheduled March 01, 2022 ISSUE DATE February 15, 2011 Review Date Date REVISION March 17, 2020 Reviewed DATE APPROVED (Reserved for Expansion) BY I. Purpose and Scope A. The Texarkana Police Department’s responsibility and mission is concentrated within the borders of the city limits of Texarkana, Arkansas; however, because the City of Texarkana, Arkansas borders the City of Texarkana, Texas byway of State Line Avenue, the ultimate mission of the Department becomes difficult and sometimes disadvantaged. B. In addition, the pursuit of providing professional police services to the community in which we serve is often hindered when confronted with multi-jurisdictional rules, procedures, statutes and laws that remain applicable to each city’s respective state entity. This policy is intended to address these issues and provide rules, procedures and guidelines that enable officers serving in either the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department or the Texarkana Texas Police Department to traverse into the neighboring state and enforce that state’s law. II. Policy A. It shall be the policy of the Texarkana, Arkansas Police Department to establish, manage and coordinate a set of guidelines that allows the commissioned officers within the Agency to traverse into the State of Texas and therein operate outside of their primary jurisdiction. The authority that allows commissioned officers in the State of Arkansas to operate in this manner originates from the following: 1. A Texarkana, Arkansas Peace Officer qualified under Vernon’s Annotated Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.124(b) may exercise the same powers and duties as a Texarkana, Texas Peace Officer within the Territorial Limits of Texarkana, Texas without further qualification, certification, oath, or bond.

  • Texarkana Urban Transportation Study
    Chapter 3 - The Transportation System of the Texarkana Region MAP-21 requires the identification of the regional transportation facilities as a necessary component of the MTP, (including major roadways, transit, multimodal and inter-modal facilities, non-motorized transportation facilities, and inter-modal connectors if possible) that should function as an integrated metropolitan transportation system, giving emphasis to those facilities that serve important national and regional transportation functions. Roadways Major highway corridors include I-30, I-369, I-49, US 59, US 67, US 71, and US 82. Interstate - 49: Except for a section from Texarkana to Fort Smith and a short portion in the vicinity of Bella Vista, Arkansas, I-49 connects Fort Smith to Kansas City, a major international intermodal center and to the south of Texarxkana, I-49 connects to Lafayette, Louisiana and I-10. Future Interstate 49: From Shreveport to Kansas City this route is part of High Priority Corridors 1 and 72: North-South Corridor, while the future section between New Orleans and Lafayette is part of High Priority Corridor 37: U.S. 90. US 59: The 2035 State LRTP identified US 59 from the Houston MPO boundary to Texarkana MPO boundary as the highest rated Texas Trunk corridor (Other Trunk Highways) in need of improvement. The I-69 Corridor: This program being studied in Texas extends from Texarkana, Texas, and Stonewall, Louisiana, to Laredo and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. With Houston near the midpoint, I- 69 will improve regional mobility and provide new freight movement capacity accessing seaports at Houston, Freeport, Victoria, Point Comfort, Corpus Christi and Brownsville.

Vol. 55 FAll 2017 Number2 An 1821 Trip Down Trammel's Trace Bv GARY L. PINKERTON Therehad neverbeen a roadprepared that a wheeledconvryance could pass from onesection to the other. RL]ones Trammel's Trace was the first road from the states and territories to the north of Spanish Texas in the early 1800s. Trammel's Trace from the north and the El Camino Real de los Tejas from the east were the earliest two routes into the Nacogdoches District of Spanish Texas from the United States. The earliest evidence of the origins of Trammel's Trace appeared on maps from the early 1800s. A map drawn in 1807 by a Spanish priest named Puelles showed a road almost due south to Nacogdoches from a point on the Red River. Not long before the creation of this map, hun­ dreds of Spanish soldiers marched to the Red River from Nacogdoches to intercept an American expedition exploring the boundary between Spain and the United States in 1803.
