Dallas Immigration Court
The Dallas Immigration Court is part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) within the U.S. Department of Justice. It handles removal (deportation) proceedings, defensive asylum, cancellation of removal, and bond hearings for people in Texas.

How to check your hearing date and case status
You are responsible for knowing your hearing date — the court does not call to remind you.
- Automated hotline: call 1-800-898-7180 (free, 24 hours, English/Spanish). Enter your A-number (the 8- or 9-digit “A#” on your Notice to Appear; if it has 8 digits, enter a 0 first) to hear your next hearing date, time, and the court’s address.

Important: If you don’t have a representative of record, your default hearing medium is in-person regardless of any link above. Photographing or recording any part of an internet-based hearing is strictly prohibited.
If you miss your hearing
Missing an immigration court hearing is serious. The judge can order you removed in absentia under INA § 240(b)(5)(A) — a deportation order issued without you present. If this happens you may file a Motion to Reopen, but the deadlines are strict. Always keep your address current with the court using Form EOIR-33/IC so you actually receive your notices.
You are not given a free attorney
Immigration court is not like criminal court — the government does not appoint you a free lawyer. You may hire one or seek free/low-cost help:
- Free & low-cost immigration legal aid in Texas
- How to find a real immigration attorney — never use a notario; that is fraud.
Free legal service providers EOIR lists for this court
