Location
  
End of Highway 67, Presidio, Texas 79845

The Presidio Texas Port of Entry, is located at the Presidio–Ojinaga International Bridge, connecting U.S. Route 67 to the north with Mexican Federal Highway 16 to the south. The original, privately owned wooden bridge was built in the early 1900s, and the port of entry was established by executive order in 1917. The bridge was most recently replaced in 1985. The current border inspection station was completed about two years later.

There is also an old wooden railroad bridge at this location, but it has been closed due to damage from a fire since 2008. There are plans to repair the old rail bridge, as well as add an additional two lanes to the current vehicle bridge, but no timeline has been established for either project.
