Texas Department of Public Safety Commencement of Enhanced Inspections

Posted by Expeditors on Apr 29, 2024 4:38:17 PM

As of this morning Texas DPS has continued inspections on all commercial operating vehicles at the Ysleta Port of Entry and at the Bridge of the Americas Port of Entry. 

Early this morning, CBP held a call to review its contingency plan and the Trade Information Notice (TIN) published over the weekend.

In an effort to mitigate the crossing times CBP has adjusted their operating hours at alternative entry ports.  Effective today, Monday, April 29, CBP has extended the hours of operations for commercial crossings for the Port of Santa Teresa Monday-Friday from 6 am to 10 PM and Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm. They have also extended the hours of operations for the Port of Marcelino Serna (Tornillo) Monday from 8 am to 8 PM and Monday-Friday thereafter from 6 am to 8 pm and Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm. 

Attached is the official TIN from CBP.  We will continue to provide updates as they become available.  For additional support please reach out to one of the individuals listed below.
