The Consulate-General of Mexico in Dallas (Spanish: Consulado-General de México en Dallas) is a diplomatic mission of Mexico in Dallas, Texas, United States. It was established in 1920[1] and it currently covers 82 counties in North Texas.[1]
In June 2024, it was one of the voting locations approved by the National Electoral Institute for the 2024 Mexican general election.[2]
Between 2019 and 2022, the Consulate-General of Mexico in Dallas was the Mexican consular office that processed the largest quantity of Mexican passports and matrículas consulares.[3]
In 2009, Alfredo Corchado of The Dallas Morning News called it the thirdmost important Mexican consulate after Los Angeles and Chicago's, in terms of activity and Mexican population size.[4] It moved from 8855 North Stemmons Freeway to 1210 River Bend Drive that January.[5]
On May 6, 2009, lawyers for four residents filed a class action lawsuit in the Dallas County District Court, partially alleging "corruption and greed" in the consulate.[6] That August, the Mexican government announced the removal of consul-general Enrique Hubbard Urrea from his post due to corruption.[7][4]
