Odessa and Houston share a time zone: the office’s hours are your hours.

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.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Odessa for an Israeli mission

The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).

For a birth in Odessa, it comes from the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the Texas page has the fee.

Odessa spreads over Ector and Midland counties, so the marriage office depends on the county: in Ector County, the CDC’s directory for Texas points to the Ector County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants the certificate with an apostille.

The apostille for a public document from Texas is issued by the Texas Secretary of State (HCCH list).
