Which French consulate covers Plano?

Houston is 260 miles from Plano by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a USPS Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express envelope with tracking, stamped at the current rate; off it, a second journey just to collect it, without an appointment, in short windows: Monday 8 to 8:40 am, Wednesday 12:10 to 12:50 pm and 5:10 to 5:50 pm, Thursday 12:10 to 12:50 pm, Friday 8 to 8:40 am.
The ID card is never mailed: if the honorary consul in Dallas, at Trade Office of France, 5580 Peterson Lane, Suite 150, is authorized, it can hand it over for $11.35 (€10) and spare the second trip.
