Border crossing between Del Rio, Texas and Ciudad Acuna, Mexico.
Since 2015, ALL tourists traveling to Mexico MUST have a Mexico Tourist Card along a valid Passport no matter how short (couple of hours) or long (max 180 days per year) your visit will be.
Mexico Tourist Card is NOT FREE!!!

"Border Zone
In the past, travelers who were remaining within the United States border zone for up to 72 hours did not need a tourist card. (The border zone, comprised of an area roughly 20 km into Mexico from the U.S. border and also included most of Baja California and the Sonora "free zone.") However, now the tourist card is required for all non-Mexican visitors to the country who will remain for fewer than six months.
Tourist Cards
There is a fee of about $24 USD for a tourist card. If you are traveling by air or on a cruise, the fee for your tourist card is included in the cost of your trip, and you will be given the card to fill out. If you are traveling over land you can pick up a tourist card at your point of entry or from a Mexican consulate before your departure. In this case, you will need to make the payment for your tourist card at a bank after your arrival in Mexico."
And don't forget all border crossings between Texas and Mexico are TOLL bridges (over Rio Grande), usually $5 USD one way and $5 USD the other way.
NO FIREARMS AND/OR AMMO INTO MEXICO!!!
IMHO, 99.99% of all vehicles heading into Mexico at ANY Texas-Mexico border crossings are driven and occupied by Mexican nationals who carry a Mexican Govt Passport or other form of legal ID. And they all speak Spanish!
Visit and enjoy Rio Grande Valley, Texas but DO NOT EVER ADVENTURE INTO VERY DANGEROUS MEXICO AND ESPECIALLY THE ALWAYS-DEADLY BORDER AREAS!
