TTPRADARBrownsville SENTRI Interview
The Brownsville Enrollment Center is inside the Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport, at 700 Amelia Earhart Drive in Brownsville, Texas, across the Rio Grande from Matamoros. It is at the airport, not at one of the Brownsville bridges. CBP interviews SENTRI and Global Entry applicants here. This page covers SENTRI interview appointments at the center, not SENTRI lane waits at the Brownsville bridges. It shows the live wait for the next interview date, recent availability, and lets you set an alert for an earlier slot.
Next interview here 1 month Checked
The next opening we can see is 1 month away. Dates that far out are where cancellations matter most: when someone drops an interview here, the slot can reappear months ahead of the published date.

Finding the center
CBP's only direction is that the center is inside the Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport. Head to the airport on Amelia Earhart Drive and allow time to park and find the office inside the terminal.
Because it is at the airport, not a port of entry, you do not need to approach any of the border crossings to reach it.
Coming from Matamoros, plan for the bridge crossing as well as the drive out to the airport.
What to bring for SENTRI
CBP has not published Brownsville-specific notes. Bring the original documents you listed on your application. Other South Texas SENTRI centers, such as Laredo and Hidalgo, ask for:
Check your conditional approval letter against your document folder before you leave. It lists what CBP expects to see for your own application.
- Your ID and entry documents, such as a passport, birth certificate, permanent resident card, visa or driver's license.
- Proof of residency and solvency.
- Court disposition papers for any arrest.
- If adding a vehicle: registration and insurance, plus a notarized letter if the vehicle is not registered to you.
Getting an earlier interview
You can interview at any enrollment center that offers SENTRI. The Hidalgo Enrollment Center at the Anzalduas Bridge in Mission is the closest other one, and Laredo is a longer drive. Both are shown below with live waits. Openings at one center do not appear at another, so watching more than one improves your odds of catching a sooner date.
Keep your current appointment while you watch. When a sooner date appears, reschedule into it from your TTP account instead of cancelling first, so you are never left without a slot.

Where is the Brownsville SENTRI enrollment center?

Is the Brownsville SENTRI interview at a bridge?
No. CBP lists the Brownsville Enrollment Center inside the Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport, 700 Amelia Earhart Drive.
Is this the Brownsville SENTRI lane wait?
No. Lane waits measure how long the line is to cross the border in a SENTRI lane. This page tracks something else: how soon you can get a SENTRI interview appointment at the Brownsville Enrollment Center, the in-person step you complete before you can use those lanes.
How do I get an earlier SENTRI interview in Brownsville?
By being there in the minutes after a slot is released, which is why checking by hand a few times a day rarely catches one. Watch more than one center if you can travel, and keep your TTP login to hand so you can confirm the moment you see a date.
Does TTPRadar book the interview for me?
No. We are independent of CBP and cannot book, hold or reserve an appointment. We tell you the moment an earlier Brownsville interview appears, and you book it yourself on the official Trusted Traveler Programs website.
