The Santa Teresa Port of Entry is a border crossing between Santa Teresa, New Mexico , and San Jerónimo, Chihuahua. It was built in 1992 to relieve pressure from the busy El Paso BOTA Port of Entry, a short distance to the east, and started operating on January 12, 1993. The General Services Administration is currently increasing the capacity of the port of entry, taking advantage of the available land.{{cite news |last1=Hagan |first1=Shelly |last2=Averbuch |first2=Maya |title=With Abbott's Border Crackdown, New Mexico Looks to Take Texas Trade With New Port |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-29/abbott-s-border-crackdown-spurs-bid-to-snag-trade-from-texas |access-date=29 August 2022 |work=Bloomberg News |date=29 August 2022 |language=en}} The crossing is open daily from 6 am until midnight.
