Former facility of the Consulate-General of Mexico in Dallas at 8855 North Stemmons Freeway

In 2009, Alfredo Corchado of The Dallas Morning News called it the thirdmost important Mexican consulate after Los Angeles and Chicago's, in terms of activity and Mexican population size.[1] It moved from 8855 North Stemmons Freeway to 1210 River Bend Drive that January.[2]

On May 6, 2009, lawyers for four residents filed a class action lawsuit in the Dallas County District Court, partially alleging "corruption and greed" in the consulate.[3] That August, the Mexican government announced the removal of consul-general Enrique Hubbard Urrea from his post due to corruption.[4][1]
