History of the City of Red Lick

City of Red Lick is a small town located off Farm Road 2148 N, about seven miles from Texarkana, TX, and within half a mile of I-30 in northeastern Bowie County. The community began in the 1860s and was named by residents who observed that a nearby red clay hill served as a salt lick for area deer.

By the late 1800s, social life centered around the Red Lick Methodist Episcopal Church, South, founded in 1885. The 2020 census showed the population of the City of Red Lick stands at 946, with 306 single-family residences. The average price of homes is $310,304.

Concerned over the encroachment of nearby Texarkana, residents voted to incorporate the City of Red Lick in 1997. By 2000, the city had a mayor, five aldermen, and a volunteer fire department. The city also boasts an elementary and middle school, with yearly attendance of over 500 students in K-8th grade, located within the city limits.

The City Council has successfully kept the property tax rate as one of the lowest in Bowie County. The 2024 property tax rate is $0.095421 per $100 of property value. For example, if a house is valued at $350,000, the City of Red Lick property tax would be $333.97.
