On the Border, a Tex-Mex chain restaurant, is expected to close its Texarkana location on Friday, June 12, according to an employee. The closure is part of a nationwide shutdown of all On the Border restaurants.

Local Impact

The restaurant, located at 4300 St. Michael Drive, has been serving the Texarkana area for several years. Details surrounding the closure, including the number of employees affected and the reason for the decision, were not immediately available. As of Thursday, the restaurant remained open and was expected to serve customers through Friday.

Houston-based Pappas Restaurants purchased On the Border out of bankruptcy in 2025. Local restaurant management did not respond to requests for comment before presstime.
