ICE Field Offices Covering Texas

Immigration enforcement in Texas is handled by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) directorate. ERO field offices manage the detention, supervision, and removal of noncitizens — including check-in appointments for people on orders of supervision or the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP). ICE jurisdiction does not always match state lines: a single field office often covers several states, so the office responsible for Texas may be headquartered elsewhere.

The offices listed above are the ERO field offices with jurisdiction over Texas, along with any sub-office physically located in the state. Each entry includes the office address and contact details you would use to schedule or confirm a check-in, ask about a detained relative, or reach a deportation officer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ICE field office covers Texas?

5 ICE ERO field offices have jurisdiction over Texas; each is listed above with its address and phone number.

What is an ICE ERO field office?

ERO stands for Enforcement and Removal Operations, the arm of ICE responsible for identifying, detaining, and removing noncitizens subject to removal. Its field offices also supervise people who are released but under monitoring, and process periodic check-ins.

How do I find someone in ICE custody?

Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System at locator.ice.gov. You can search by the person's A-number and country of birth, or by their biographical details, to find where they are detained and the responsible field office.

What happens at an ICE check-in?

People who are not detained but have a pending case or removal order may be required to report to ERO periodically. At a check-in, an officer verifies your address and status and may adjust reporting conditions. Missing a check-in can lead to arrest, so confirm the date and location in advance.

Is ICE the same as USCIS or the immigration court?

No. ICE enforces immigration law and carries out removals. USCIS decides benefit applications such as green cards and work permits. The immigration court (EOIR, part of the Justice Department) decides whether a person should be removed. All three are separate.
