Galena Park, Jacinto City and Cloverleaf are working communities on Houston’s east side, near the Ship Channel, the refineries and the port terminals that keep the region running. Houston Fingerprint serves East Houston from our office at 6124 Hwy 6 N, Houston, TX 77084, a straight shot west on I-10, and with mobile visits to homes and job sites.
One Freeway the Whole Way
From Galena Park, Jacinto City or Cloverleaf, get on I-10 west and stay on it through downtown and past the Beltway until the Highway 6 exit. Turn north on Highway 6 and continue past Clay Road to West Little York Road. It’s about 25 to 30 miles. Allow 40 to 50 minutes, longer at rush hour. Schedule ahead online so you’re seen as soon as you arrive.
Port, Plant and Contractor Work
Industrial employers and contractors along the Ship Channel hire constantly, and some send crews overseas. East Houston customers come to us for:
- FBI background checks required for international projects, work visas and residency permits
- Apostilles on FBI reports and Texas records for use abroad
- FD-258 fingerprint cards for out-of-state trade and professional licenses
- ATF fingerprint cards for NFA firearm applications
Port access credentials and some transportation security cards go through their own federal enrollment centers. Call 832-530-3652 if you’re unsure whether your requirement is something we handle.
Bilingual Paperwork for East Houston Families
Many families in Galena Park, Jacinto City and Cloverleaf need documents in both English and Spanish. We provide certified translation of birth, marriage, school and identity records, notarized letters and affidavits, and apostilles for documents going to Mexico and other countries. A Texas notary isn’t a “notario,” so we can’t advise on immigration matters. Bring documents already prepared or reviewed by an attorney or accredited representative.
Wills and Mobile Notary Visits
When a parent or grandparent needs to sign a will, power of attorney or medical directive and can’t easily leave home, our mobile notary can come to East Houston. Have the documents prepared beforehand. We notarize them, including the self-proving affidavit for many Texas wills, but we don’t draft wills or give legal advice. Every signer needs valid photo ID, and a typed will generally needs two adult witnesses. Office appointments for estate planning and wills can be booked online.

Mobile Fingerprinting for Crews
If several workers from the same company need fingerprints, a mobile session at your yard or office is usually faster than sending each person across town. Tell us the number of workers and the agency requirements.
East Houston FAQs
Is it worth the drive across town?
For one person, booking an office appointment works well, since I-10 runs straight to us. For crews, families or an estate signing, a mobile visit usually makes more sense.
Can you fingerprint our contractors at our site near the Ship Channel?
Yes, as long as the site allows visitors. We’ll need the headcount, the agencies involved and any site safety requirements.
Do you serve Cloverleaf and Channelview?
Cloverleaf, yes. Channelview is just past our 30-mile service area, but call and we’ll tell you what we can arrange.
