The Fabens Port of Entry closed on November 17, 2014, when traffic was diverted to the nearby Tornillo-Guadalupe Port of Entry. is located at the Fabens-Caseta International Bridge. It was established when the two-lane bridge was built by the International Boundary and Water Commission in 1938.[1]

The port of Fabens was established by Executive Order 4869 on May 1, 1928,[2] ten years prior to the construction of the first bridge, so it is likely there was once a ferry operation at this location. The original port facility, built in 1938, was used as recently as the mid-1990s, when CBP moved its operations to temporary buildings a short distance north of the bridge.
