I have sent the updated information to @BlueShift to update supercharge.info and I think these "sneaky" sites will become more and more common as Tesla builds out in the more remote areas where there aren't that many existing owners.

Now if only there was a "safer" way to drive from Houston to Shreveport. It's dicey from Huntsville to Shreveport if it is raining a lot or if it is really cold. Would be nice to get a SC midway up hwy 59.

FYI, its now open! Received this email today from Tesla:
The Shreveport, LA
Supercharger Station is Now Open
We are excited to announce that theShreveport, LA Supercharger Station is now open. New Supercharger Stations open every week, enabling more options for free long-distance travel, for life.
Details about all of our Supercharger Stations and destination charging locations can be found on our find uspage. Thank you for supporting the transition to sustainable energy.

From that map, it looks to me that your #14 would be closer to Junction than than Sonora. That wouldn't be too bad of a spacing issue, it's about 115m from SA and 140m from the San Marcos SC. Taking into account the fact that you are in the Hill Country and that stretch has a good bit of up & down action and has heavy winds a fair amount of the time, I think better spacing would be one in Sonora, as you suggested, and another further east, in Kerrville. Sonora, by itself, at 170 miles or so, would be a pretty long run from SA, but then again, they may build out Sonora with plans on filling in to the east later.

Anyone have good methods for stalking any upcoming Texarkana Supercharger permits?
It seems the logical next step after the opening of Sulphur Springs.
I found this site for the Texas side, but the listings are kind of cryptic: Construction Reports & Permits | Texarkana, TX - Official Website
Couldn't find the equivalent for Arkansas. This was the closest: City of Texarkana Arkansas | Code Enforcement

Anybody heard anything lately about a SC in Texarkana? I've been in contact with the city planner on the Texas side. He has told me that Tesla met with them last year and this summer. His last email a few weeks ago said he couldn't pass any more info along due to confidentiality agreements. So maybe soon???

Looking at new non-residential construction permits of more than $50K for June and July in Texarkana, there are only two issued permits that would seem to be candidates:
*4200 Galleria Oaks, 8750 Sq ft, $650K
Looks like a good location but seems too large and too expensive.
*150 Bella Vista Cr, 3000 sq ft, $185K
Another good location although not so much around it, square footage and cost seem more like what you might expect.
Does anyone have good estimates for what the square footage and cost should be?

Looks like the first one was a typo. Looking at the website permits, its actually 4200 Gibson Lane (not galleria oaks). This would not be a good location.
Bella Vista Circle doesn't look like its either. That's the address for a senior living facility.
Looks like nothing yet as far as permits go.
Texarkana is a great town and plenty of great spots. Hopefully they will find something soon.

This is the document I looked at http://www.ci.texarkana.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/3696
I don't see anything for Gibson Lane on there. Are you using a different reference?
Edit: n/m, I see what you mean. It's on the permit document.

Okay, the August permit list for Texarkana is up.
Interesting findings:
*4545 Cowhorn Creek: looks like a perfect location, listed as a "remodel" at the Holiday Inn Express. Only problem is that it's way too big (40K sq. ft.).
*5102 Summer Crossing: near the highway, but a remodel at a McDonald's. Has Tesla ever gone in with Mickey-D's?
*4116 Gibson Lane: not as close to I-30 as the other two, nothing around in the way of food, and also seem to be afiiliated with a Cell Repair business? Not very likely.

The Tesla Map shows a "coming soon" Supercharger in Corpus Christi, TX.
It's not on supercharge.info yet.

No address or permit has been discovered yet. Blueshift likes to have a location to place a "Permit" pin on the map. Which I understand.
We went to Junction, TX to look for Supercharger construction today. There was none that we could see, looking at likely sites.

Interstate 10 West of San Antonio to Phoenix would be nice, but nothing so far. Nothing. Proposed SUPERCHARGER Locations mentioned in in this thread are spot on.
The missing I-10 supercharger east of Houston just opened today in Channelview

How they got this one by @SW2Fiddler is beyond me.
He almost had me thinking he got himself banned too:
