- ▸Austin and San Antonio do not have a federal printing agency in-city; travelers drive 2.5–3 hours to Houston (1919 Smith St) or Dallas (1100 Commerce St).
- ▸Always bring a long-form Texas Certificate of Birth; Texas abstract ("short-form") birth certificates issued in border counties are frequently flagged by consular adjudicators.
- ▸When Dallas and Houston are booked, El Paso (Mountain Time) and Hot Springs, AR are the fastest same-day printing alternatives.
Border, Cruise & Air Gate Note: All air travel to Mexico (Cancún, Los Cabos, Mexico City, Monterrey) requires a U.S. Passport Book; closed-loop Galveston cruises strongly recommend a valid Passport Book in case of medical or flight return.
