Immigration matters in Texas often involve federal law administered locally — USCIS field offices, ICE, immigration courts in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and El Paso, and the Fifth Circuit. Texas-licensed counsel who also practice before immigration tribunals help with family petitions, employment visas, removal defense, and naturalization.
Immigration is not a TBLS board-certified specialty; look for attorneys with active federal immigration practice and court admissions.
Common Questions
Is immigration law state or federal?
Immigration is primarily federal. A Texas attorney can still represent you in local immigration court and coordinate related Texas family or criminal issues that affect immigration status.
Where are Texas immigration courts located?
The Executive Office for Immigration Review operates courts in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and El Paso, among other hearing locations.
