Emergency Passport
Texas Passport Agency
Location Note: The Houston Passport Agency requires extreme punctuality. Security protocols here mandate that only the applicant (and parents if the applicant is a minor) may enter the building. External family members must wait outside the federal perimeter. Given the Houston heat and frequent unshaded exterior lines, preparation is advised. Parking is strictly off-site; utilize the nearby commercial garages.
