Our mission is to unite our six duplicate bridge clubs, representing East Texas into a strong, supportive community that promotes a social and educational community of fellowship, learning, quality tournaments, and fair play. We strive to recruit, teach, and retain players while providing opportunities for all players of all ages and levels to grow in skill and enjoy the game of duplicate bridge in a welcoming environment.

The Sheila Bell DBC of Texarkana played its first Pro/Am Game on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Players were divided into two categories depending on their number of master points. The players with the least amount of master points drew the name of a player with more than one hundred points to be their partner for the day.
We had seven and a half tables, following a Mitchell movement. The entire membership felt it was very successful, and is planning to host many more Pro/Am games in the future.
