About

For nearly 15 years, Texarkana Parent Magazine has been a trusted local resource for families in and around Texarkana. What began in 2011 as a small community publication has grown into the region’s leading family media brand, connecting parents, grandparents, and caregivers with stories, ideas, and inspiration for every stage of family life.

As we look ahead to our 15-year anniversary in 2026, our mission remains simple: celebrate family, encourage connection, and highlight the people and places that make the Texarkana region a wonderful place to raise kids.

Our Story

Texarkana Parent is more than a magazine; it’s a reflection of everyday life here at home.


 Each issue shares local stories, community highlights, and practical resources designed to make life easier and more meaningful for families across Texarkana and the surrounding areas, including both Texas and Arkansas communities.

Inside every issue, readers will find:

  • Local family features and inspiring stories
  • Parent-to-parent advice and practical tips
  • School and education news
  • Health and wellness insights
  • Events, seasonal guides, and things to do with kids

From newborn days to teenage years, we’re here to support and celebrate life’s changing seasons together.

``Every day in Texarkana, kids shine—whether they’re shining at school, lending a hand to a friend, or reaching a milestone no one saw coming. I am excited to be a part of Texarkana Parent and helping highlight these stories!``

Ben King Co-Publisher

``My hope is that it will be a resource for parents in the area, focusing on the busy lives and schedules of families, while maximizing quality time together! I’m excited to spotlight families, kids, and their activities!``
