Which entrance of the Earle Cabell building do I use?
Either one. EOIR's page, updated October 8, 2026, says visitors and employees pass through magnetometers and x-ray machines at the north or south entrance of the Earle Cabell Federal Building. It lists a metal detector and handbag screening for the court as well, without saying whether that is a second check, so allow for one. Then head for Suite 1060. The Administrative Control List writes the same office number as Room 1060, so expect to see either label on papers or signs.
What time does the Dallas court open?
Public hours start at 7:30 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m., and the filing window runs from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday except federal holidays. That leaves half an hour at the end of the day when the court is open but the window is closed, so time any drop-off around it, and remember the building screening comes first. EOIR says closures appear on its status page, Facebook and X, so check one of them if the weather turns bad. The court does not accept faxes or electronic submissions unless they were requested.
Can I take DART, and where do I park?
Yes, according to EOIR. Its page says the court is within walking distance of the DART Rail System, at the Akard or West End train stops, and of the DART Bus System. It does not say which stop is nearer or how long the walk takes. For drivers, there is limited metered parking on the street on the south side of the building, and a couple of pay-for parking lots on the south or west sides of the federal building, which the page does not name. Since street spaces are limited, allow extra time or take the train, particularly for an individual hearing.
How do I reach the Dallas court, or check if my hearing is online?
Call 214-767-1814 or write to Dallas.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov. Asylum.Clock.Dallas@usdoj.gov is reserved for asylum work-permit clock requests. EOIR's internet hearing directory, updated October 29, 2026, has a Dallas section with Webex links and access codes. EOIR says to contact the court if you are unsure about in-person or online, and that anyone without a representative of record defaults to in person, whatever the directory shows. For your next date and location, EOIR's automated line is 1-800-898-7180; our guide to finding your hearing covers it and the online system.
Is Dallas the same as the Fort Worth center?
No. The Fort Worth Immigration Adjudication Center is a separate EOIR listing at 819 Taylor Street, about which EOIR publishes much less. The two share Tara Naselow-Nahas as listed Assistant Chief Immigration Judge. The Dallas page lists Daniel P. Kinnicutt as backup Assistant Chief Immigration Judge and Barbara Baker as court administrator. The Administrative Control List shows the DHS Dallas district office under Dallas' administrative control and names two sites for detained juveniles: Catholic Charities and Campus Connections, both in Dallas. These are listing entries on a given date and say nothing about one case. Your notice shows your own location, and our court directory has the rest of Texas.
