Israeli consulate in Frisco: the office is in Houston
The Israeli consulate that handles Frisco is outside the city. The Israeli Consulate General in Houston, 272 miles from Frisco by road (4 h 57 min), takes its cases.
Which Israeli consulate serves Frisco
Texas belongs to the district of the Israeli Consulate General in Houston (source), and Frisco with it.
Driving from Frisco takes about 4 h 57 min for 272 miles without traffic; the straight-line distance is 250 miles.
Calls to Houston need no time conversion from Frisco: both run on the same clock.
While Houston’s building is renovated, its notice sends the in-person appointments of Southwest residents to the Consulate General in Atlanta (source); email and mail still go to Houston. Atlanta’s visiting days are on its page.

Where the birth and marriage papers from Frisco come from
Order the original birth certificate of a child born in Frisco from the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission’s birth notice asks for it (the mission’s birth notice page), and the Texas page lists the fee.
Parts of Frisco lie in Collin and Denton counties. For Collin County, the CDC’s directory for Texas names the Collin County Clerk as the place for a marriage record (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the mission takes the certificate with an apostille.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in Texas, the apostille comes from the Texas Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
