Check your hearing date at the Dallas Immigration Court
EOIR’s free Automated Case Information portal shows the date, time and court of your next hearing: enter your A-number (the 8 or 9 digits after the “A” on your Notice to Appear or hearing notice; put a 0 in front of an 8-digit number) and choose your nationality. The same information is on EOIR’s line, 1-800-898-7180, 24 hours a day, in English and Spanish.
- What the result means: a master hearing is a short calendar hearing; an individual hearing is the merits hearing. “No case found for this A-Number” can mean the Notice to Appear has not been filed with the court yet. Your written hearing notice is the official source — if the two differ, call the Dallas Immigration Court at (214) 767-1814.
- Moved? File Form EOIR-33/IC with the court that has your case within five days (8 C.F.R. § 1003.15(d)(2)). A USCIS change of address does not update the court.
- Missed a hearing? An order of removal entered in your absence can sometimes be reopened — see our guide to in absentia orders.

About the Dallas Immigration Court
Public sources.
The court is in Room 1060 of the Earle Cabell Federal Building, whose main entrance is on Commerce Street in downtown Dallas's government district, between Griffin Street and Houston Street near the West End and Dealey Plaza.
DART light rail's Akard station (Red, Blue, Green and Orange Lines) is about a seven-minute walk, and the West End station is also nearby. Paid garages and metered street parking surround the block; there is no dedicated court lot.
The Earle Cabell Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, completed in 1971 to a design by architect George Dahl and named for a former Dallas mayor, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.
Dallas is the seat of Dallas County and the anchor of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Its court carries one of Texas's busiest dockets and sits within the Fifth Circuit.
