Using the tools in Austin

What the Numbers Mean for a Austin Case

Austin's immigration cases are heard at the San Antonio Immigration Court, an estimated 25,000 pending cases with waits around three years. Houston, Dallas, Harlingen, and El Paso cover the rest of Texas, and detained cases are heard at the facility's docket.

Texas holds more ICE detainees than any other state. Austin-area arrests usually go first to T. Don Hutto in Taylor or to Pearsall, then anywhere in the state as beds open. Transfers across Texas within the first week are the norm, which is why we locate the person first and file the bond request at the facility that actually holds them.

Affirmative asylum interviews for Austin and Central Texas residents are scheduled through the Houston Asylum Office. Referred cases from Austin are heard at the San Antonio Immigration Court, where the wait is shorter than in Houston or Dallas but still measured in years. Immigration law is federal, so our attorneys represent Austin and Central Texas clients in the San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas immigration courts and at every Texas detention facility, by video and in person.
