The Fabens Port of Entry was a port of entry at the Mexico–United States border, in the town of Fabens, Texas.[1] It closed on November 17, 2014, and traffic was diverted to the nearby Tornillo Port of Entry. This facility was located at the Fabens–Caseta International Bridge, after that two-lane bridge was built by the International Boundary and Water Commission in 1938.[2] [3]
The port of Fabens was established by Executive Order 4869 on May 1, 1928,[4] ten years prior to the construction of the first bridge, so it is likely there was once a ferry operation at this location. The original port facility, built in 1938, was used as recently as the mid-1990s, when U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) moved its operations to temporary buildings a short distance north of the bridge.
