The proposal to move McAllen’s mail processing to San Antonio would have created new burdens for already-overworked letter carriers and slowed mail service across South Texas. Earlier this year, I led a push with other Texas lawmakers to make sure USPS understood how mail delays would hurt our constituents. Texas families rely on USPS for everything from paychecks to holiday cheer, and they deserve on-time mail delivery. As we look ahead to the new year, I urge the USPS to make similar guarantees to protect reliable mail service in Corpus Christi and across Texas." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
