The city lies in Comal County. It is the closest of the 8 cities we list in Texas.

What you can settle without travelling

Part of what people travel for is settled by post or online.

  • Send in a life certificate for your pension: there is a free digital route with a QR code, and a bank or a police station can sign the paper one
  • Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
  • Find out whether you are German at all: the dates of your family's emigration decide it, and you can work that out from your own records before anyone books an appointment
