How ReportLost works in Texarkana
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to match it if someone finds and reports it.
We route it to the right places
Your report gets sent to the Texarkana Police Department, T-Line Bus System lost & found (if applicable), the airport, and we post alerts to local Facebook groups and community channels.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
Our system scans public posts, marketplaces, and local social channels every day for 12 months. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. No need to refresh Facebook groups or call around every morning.
Where and how to report in Texarkana
The official channels, plus what ReportLost does to save you time
Texarkana Police Department
Report non-emergency losses to the Texarkana Police Department. They maintain a lost and found log and can advise on next steps depending on where you lost the item. We tell you which desk to contact and draft the exact details to include so your report is clear and complete.
City Hall & Animal Services
Texarkana City Hall can direct you to the right municipal department or lost & found. If you've lost a pet, Animal Services handles those reports and keeps records for reunification. We ensure your report reaches the correct city department and connect you with the right contact.
T-Line Bus System Lost & Found
Lost something on a T-Line bus? Their lost and found counter is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Items are typically held for a set period. We generate a description tailored for their intake staff and point you to the exact hours and process.
Texarkana Regional Airport (TXK)
If you left something at TXK, contact the airport's lost and found directly. Items lost at security go through TSA; items left in the terminal or on aircraft require contact with your airline. We identify which desk handles your specific situation.
Lost & Found Pets
If your pet is missing, time matters. Contact Animal Services immediately and post to local Facebook groups like Lost and Found Pets in Texarkana and Texarkana Critters. For a comprehensive, supported approach that spans all official channels and social networks, file a priority lost pet report with us.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Once your item is documented with ReportLost, you can breathe easier. We take over the legwork of notifying services and scanning the web. Most lost items that are recovered are found by honest people who post about them online within the first few days. Getting the word out fast and keeping watch for those posts is what makes a difference.
Report my lost item →Texarkana straddles two states, and that complexity extends to lost and found. A wallet dropped downtown might end up at the Texas police department, the city offices, or a local business. A bag left on the T-Line bus goes to their depot. An item lost at the airport reaches TSA and the terminal lost & found separately. Without a single point of contact, you end up making multiple calls and hoping someone checked the right desk before it was discarded.
ReportLost simplifies the mess. One report reaches all the official channels at once, eliminating the guesswork about where to call first. And because most items are actually recovered by strangers who post online, we do the heavy lifting for you: we scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor, marketplace listings, and local social feeds automatically, checking for posts that match your loss. You get notified the instant we find a credible lead, so you're not stuck checking the same pages yourself every single day.
