I had an appointment for my 16 year old daughter’s passport, the supervisor was very rude and gave me false information. She said my daughter exclusively needed a Drivers License as a form of ID,, we went back and forth a little because that’s not what the government official passport website says. At the end I canceled the appointment. I recently went to another post office in another town and was able to get my daughter’s passport with no problems WITHOUT a Drivers License!!! Please DO NOT go here for PASSPORTS. Clerks in other towns are so much nicer!

I can see why this place has 3 stars. Very unhelpful staff, and frankly quite rude. Get your staff on the same page so they aren’t telling customers 2 different things.

Fed Ex and UPS are two businesses desperately needed, forget even dealing with this place… just drive to Bastrop or La Grange. It ain’t worth the stop.
