How we estimate
Rates use asylum grants and denials, excluding other closures. Display requires 2 merits decisions; rankings require at least 30 in the same period. Courts here are listed by recorded volume, without rate rankings. Pending history is reconstructed from the EOIR snapshot and can differ from official published totals; asylum scope is separate from all proceedings. Missing pending records are unavailable, not zero. No state calendar or clearance forecast is inferred.

Named court profiles and source context
Key facts
Texas: 15 recorded courts; 21,113 asylum merits decisions during 2025-09 – 2026-08. Combined historical approval rate: 3.3%.
Combined rate = sum of court grants / (sum of grants + sum of denials). Court percentages are never averaged. Each comparison uses the same trailing 12-month period.
Geography means the court location, not the applicant’s residence or jurisdiction. Different court codes can describe historical records at the same location.
Historical decisions and reconstructed pending proceedings cannot predict an individual outcome or wait. Check your official hearing notice and EOIR for the assigned location.

Frequently asked questions
Which court location should I attend?
Use your official hearing notice and verify the location with EOIR. This comparison is not a jurisdiction finder. A city can have several courts, and historical code records do not prove every listed location operates today.
How are combined asylum approval rates calculated?
We sum grants and denials across the covered court records in the same period, then divide total grants by total grants plus denials. We do not average court percentages. Location describes the court, not where an applicant lives.
Do pending proceedings show how long my case will take?
No. Pending proceedings describe reconstructed workload at the source snapshot. All proceedings and proceedings with asylum claims have different scopes. Neither is a personal wait estimate or a forecast of when a court will clear its cases.
Why is a court rate unavailable?
A rate needs at least 2 asylum merits decisions in the period. A ranking needs at least 30 decisions in that same period. These pages show counts and rates without ranking courts by approval rate. Missing data do not mean zero decisions or a closed court.
