What is at 819 Taylor Street, and what does EOIR say about it?
Very little is published. EOIR's page, updated August 20, 2026, gives the name, the address 819 Taylor Street, Suite 600, Fort Worth, TX 76102, and the status OPEN. It lists no public hours, filing window, email, security rules or parking. The only phone on that page, 703-305-0289, sits in EOIR's general contact block and is not labeled as a Fort Worth line. An EOIR Webex sheet for this site, updated November 2022, listed staff contacts for Webex issues, but it is too old to rely on, so we do not reprint them. EOIR's Administrative Control List, updated October 1, 2026, has no Fort Worth entry at all. Do not assume you can walk in or file papers there until you have confirmed it.
How is an adjudication center different from a court?
The Justice Department's Inspector General described this site in report 22-084, from June 2022. It said the Fort Worth center was specifically designed to handle merits hearings by video, and is not a traditional court: no benches, no space for an interpreter, no room for observers, and no witness stand or party tables. EOIR gave it the adjudication center label because it is a small space for a judge to hear a case remotely. The report also said Fort Worth and other such centers operate as remote courtrooms designed to support dockets from other immigration courts, so a judge sitting here may be working on a docket based elsewhere. The report is over four years old, and things may have changed.
If my judge is listed in Fort Worth, do I go there?
Not automatically. Your notice decides where and how you appear, and a judge's listing under Fort Worth does not tell you where you personally must be. EOIR's internet hearing directory, updated October 29, 2026, has a Fort Worth section with Webex links and access codes, and names Tara Naselow-Nahas as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge. EOIR's note there says anyone unsure whether a hearing is in person or online should contact the immigration court hearing the case, and that respondents with no representative of record default to in person. Check your notice, then use our guide to finding your hearing to confirm the location.
Could the Taylor Street address change?
Possibly, so recheck it close to your date. GSA lists the Fritz G. Lanham Federal Building at 819 Taylor St, Fort Worth, TX 76102, on its assets identified for accelerated disposition, listed September 10, 2026, along with the adjacent parking garage at 401 Texas St. A GSA release that day announced plans to dispose of both. It gave no schedule and named no tenants, and it says nothing about EOIR. EOIR still showed this address when we read its status page on October 31, 2026, and we found no notice of any move. Treat this as a reason to verify the location, not as a sign that anything has changed.
How do I confirm a date when EOIR's page lists no Fort Worth contact?
EOIR's automated line, 1-800-898-7180, gives the next hearing date, time and location for an A-number, 24 hours a day, and the same system is online. That is the safest check here. EOIR's internet hearing directory tells people to contact the immigration court hearing their case with any doubts. Since the 2022 report describes these centers as supporting other courts' dockets, look at which court your notice names and find its contact in our immigration courts directory. See the individual hearing guide for what to prepare, and the in absentia guide on missed dates.
