Since I'm applying to US Border Patrol and I want to be stationed anywhere except California. Do your homes along the Mexican Border have basements? I'm from Miami so basements don't exist where I live.

Most houses in Texas are built on a slab.  As far as I know that includes most of 'em in the border area.

We frequent Laredo to visit family and such about every 3 months. I have yet to see a family members house that has a basement. Not saying it can't be done. It's just rare down there.

In much of West and South Texas, if you want a basement, you gotta have heavy equipment or dynamite.


Makes it cost prohibitive.

I'm pretty sure you don't get a say as to where they put you... I looked into it a few months ago but didn't want to leave Texas :)

You can apply for announcements and have a geo preference of west or south Texas.
