How does towing work in Tornillo?
The Lower Valley runs Spanish-first, and so does our dispatch. Alameda Avenue and the Border Highway carry heavy volume through Ysleta, Socorro, and the Mission Trail towns, with older vehicles and monsoon-season flooding in the low spots. Hablamos espanol y atendemos las llamadas en su idioma. We know the corridor and give honest ETAs to the farther towns.
Tornillo is the far edge of the Lower Valley, about 40 miles from downtown El Paso at the Texas-Chihuahua border. The town of around 1,400 is anchored by the Marcelino Serna Port of Entry, the Tornillo-Guadalupe International Bridge that opened November 17, 2014, a $133 million crossing named for Marcelino Serna, the most decorated World War I veteran from Texas and the first Hispanic recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross. The port connects Tornillo, Texas to Guadalupe, Chihuahua and resumed commercial cargo processing in August 2023 after the completion of the Samalayuca toll road on the Mexico side. It has capacity for up to 1,000 commercial vehicles per day. El Paso County commissioned a $1.4 million study in 2024 to grow commercial traffic.
Tornillo had the largest cotton gin in Texas in 1990, ginning 90 percent of the cotton grown in the entire El Paso valley. It was the first area approved for large-scale Rio Grande irrigation after 1916, and large-scale cotton production started in 1918. That agricultural identity runs through the community. Sonic Ranch, described as the world's largest residential recording complex, is also here, which is a genuine contrast to the cotton fields surrounding it. SH-20, Main Street, is the TxDOT corridor study's terminus at Shaffer Road, which means this is literally the end of the 35-mile Alameda Avenue corridor study. FM-793 connects to I-10 about eight to ten miles north.
The IBWC levee roads in the Fabens to Tornillo stretch are unpaved and flood after heavy monsoon rain. The port approach funnel, when it backs up, parks trucks on the approach road. Cell signal at this distance can be inconsistent. A tow from Tornillo to central El Paso is a 40-plus-mile job, and we reach Tornillo in 40 to 55 minutes. The community is 97.6 percent Hispanic, and dispatch is Spanish-first.
