In 2002, a plan was drawn up to replace the existing Eagle Pass Station with a new 49,000 square-foot facility on a 37-acre compound located southeast of Eagle Pass. This, coupled with some of the day-to-day operations conducted: line watch, river airboat patrol, checkpoint duties, bicycle and ATV patrol, have all helped the Eagle Pass Station to steadily gain better control of the International Border.

The introduction of technology has also greatly assisted in the deterrence and apprehension of illegal traffic. Since the implementation of a strict 100 percent prosecutions posture dubbed “Operation Streamline” in December 2005, illegal trans-border activity has declined significantly in the Eagle Pass area. The station moved to its current location at 2285 Del Rio Boulevard in 1985 after the facility completion on five acres of seized land. In 1959 the Quemado Station was closed and the responsibility for that area was turned back over to Eagle Pass. Stations were also opened in Uvalde and Quemado, Texas during World War II to better protect the nation. The Eagle Pass Station was opened in 1925-and in 1926, along with the Comstock and Del Rio Stations, was included in the original makeup of the Del Rio Sector.
