Well for sure Atlanta would have a Teleportation Circle. But I'm not so sure about Texarkana. Best bet might be to backtrack three hours to Dallas. There must be a Circle there.

If you have the resources to have literal wagonloads of dimension door scrolls or misty step scrolls, you have the resources to commission the enchanting of a circle in Texarkana.
Misty step every round is 30' per 6 seconds, or 5' per second, or 18,000 feet per hour, or 3.41 mph (yes, 5e movement speeds are absurdly slow; they should really have kept sprinting from 3e). Dimension Door every round is 56 mph.
Well yeah. Sure. If you've got 50 gp worth of precious-gem-infused-chalk, you could just pay a caster in Texarkana to make you a Teleportation Circle.
But that just means spending more time in Texarkana. And who really wants to do that?
As opposed to the time required to make literal wagonloads of misty step or dimension door scrolls? Which you also just happen to have materials for in Texarkana?
Also, with a teleport circle, you need not fret over any messy questions as to how any intervening glass might affect your travel.

Using the figures from Xanathar's, each spell scroll of Dimension Door would take two weeks to scribe at a cost of 2,500 gp per scroll. That would seem to slow down travel considerably. Misty Step being only 2nd instead of 4th would be only 3 days and 250gp to scribe onto a scroll. Since you would need more than ten times the number of scrolls, though, dimension door would still be the less impractical
It is worth noting that Phantom Steed can be ritual cast and can sustain 13 mph. You would have to take 11 min to resummon each hour, but other than that, it does not have the resource costs issue. And if the steed was equipped with horseshoes of speed, you could sustain 17 mph.
And, you see, Snowball's been running truckloads of bootleg Coors for the Netherese arcanist Oberon for years. And Oberon always payed him in scrolls.
Beer is rather a lot easier to brew in quantity than spell scrolls are to scribe. "Paid in scrolls" does not equal one scroll per flask of beer. And could mean as little as 'paid in promissory notes/paper money'
Hey, whatever business arrangement Snowball had with Oberon is between them. But I suppose a Teleportation Circle would save him from having to stop so often to let Fred the basset hound relieve himself.
Hey, did you know that Smokey & the Bandit was the 2nd highest grossing film of 1977? It only got beat by some space movie.

Not "wagonloads". Just the one wagonload.
