What We See From Hockley County

Anton works around grain, rail and the farms in every direction. Families here often have decades of work history and no paperwork to show for it, because the work never came with paperwork. We see long-term residents with U.S. citizen children, spouses who married years ago and never filed, and workers who were told by somebody at a job site that they had no options. That advice is usually wrong, and it is expensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. What you tell this office is confidential and protected. We do not contact your employer, your neighbors or your family without your written permission.

Long residence is not automatically a path, but it is not nothing either. It affects several forms of relief. The only way to know is to have someone review the actual record. That review is free.

Yes. Anton, Levelland, Ropesville and the surrounding communities all work with this office.

It depends on the filing and on current government processing times, which change. We give you a realistic range at the assessment and we update you when it moves. We do not promise dates we cannot control.

Sometimes. Work authorization depends on the specific filing and on your current status. This is one of the first things we check, because it changes what is worth filing.
