Zeb Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Want to verify something I read somewhere on this Forum. Are there still several military stops after crossing Pharr coming into Jalisco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezzie Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Exactly where are you referring - what road are you intending on travelling? You have to cross a few other states before you get to the State of Jalisco if you cross into Mexico at Pharr, TX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 There may be military checkpoints (retenes) anywhere along the way. They do move from place to place, and are rather unpredictable. There is nothing to fear, and they are usually brief. Mostly, they are looking for things like drugs, weapons and certain individuals.

RickS Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 No matter where one crosses the border they are going to hit a few military stops before they reach Lake Chapala.... that's a given. Other than slowing one down momentarily I have never seen them being something to worry about unless..... one is running drugs and/or driving a huge black Caddy Escalade with the windows all blacked out.

Yes, those vehicles are usually quickly sent to the front of any line and waved through with a salute! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanMexicali Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 My keen observation, suprised no one mentioned it, is on that route almost all the checkpoints are on the northbound side checking vehicles heading toward the border. At least until you get to San Luis Potosí. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 There is an occasional one just outside of Ciudad Victoria after you go over the mountain and come down on the other side. It has always been very cursory for us. There is the big one between CV and Pharr going north, last time it was very quick, just a look and wave through. Occasionally the police are checking at the point where the road to Reynosa joins the main Ruta 101. Again, very quick. Last trip north via Pharr a month ago the checkpoints were all very quick.
