Question 1

How do I verify an attorney is licensed in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Visit the State Bar of Texas website at texasbar.com and use the Find a Lawyer search tool. Enter the attorney's name to confirm their license is active and in good standing. The search also shows whether the attorney holds any Board Certified Specialist designations, including Immigration and Nationality Law. You can also check for any public disciplinary history through the same tool.

Question 2

Where are the USCIS field offices in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Texas has four USCIS field offices: Houston (126 Northpoint Drive), Dallas (8101 North Stemmons Freeway), San Antonio (8940 Fourwinds Drive), and Harlingen (1717 Zoy Street). Each office handles naturalization interviews, adjustment of status interviews, and other in person USCIS appointments. Your assigned office depends on your residential zip code.

Question 3

How many EB 5 regional centers operate in Texas?

Accepted Answer

The number of active USCIS designated regional centers in Texas fluctuates as new centers receive approval and others lose designation. As of early 2026, Texas ranks among the top five states for active regional center count. You can verify current regional center status through the USCIS Immigrant Investor Regional Centers page, which lists every approved center by state.

Question 4

Question 5

What is the Board Certified Specialist designation in Texas?

Accepted Answer

The Texas Board of Legal Specialization awards Board Certified Specialist status to attorneys who pass a written examination, demonstrate substantial experience in immigration law, and obtain peer references from other attorneys and judges. Fewer than 300 attorneys in Texas hold this certification. While it is not required to practice immigration law, it indicates a higher level of tested competence in the field.

Question 6

How much do immigration attorneys in Texas charge?

Accepted Answer

Fees vary widely depending on case type, complexity, and the attorney's experience. Texas does not impose fee caps for immigration matters. A straightforward naturalization case may cost significantly less than a contested removal proceeding or a complex EB 5 petition. During your initial consultation, ask the attorney for a written fee agreement that specifies the scope of work, total estimated cost, and billing structure (flat fee versus hourly).
