The Texas Department of Agriculture livestock export facilities are holding and inspection sites for livestock leaving the country. Once the livestock is inspected and all import requirements are met, they are loaded for transport into Mexico at one of the department’s four border facilities in Brownsville, Laredo, Del Rio, or El Paso—or transported internationally by air and sea from Houston, Texas.
