Mexican Consulate in Del Rio, Texas
Directory of the Mexican Consulate in Del Rio
The Mexican Consulate in Del Rio is one of the smallest and most specialized consular offices on the Texas border. Located in the city of Del Rio, across from Ciudad Acuña (Coahuila), this office serves Mexican citizens living in southwest Texas, a sparsely populated area but of enormous strategic importance because of its border activity.
Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña form a pair of cross-border sister cities where daily life unfolds on both sides of the Rio Grande with a naturalness that few borders have. The Del Rio consulate plays an especially important role in consular protection, since this section of the border sees a significant number of irregular border crossings and detentions by the Border Patrol (CBP).
