I welcome all to the revamped website of the Consulate General of India, Houston. Based on the needs of the end-users and feedback received, it was felt that the Consulate's website needed a complete re-do, in terms of its look and feel, as well as, content. We realize that even at this stage it is still a work in progress. However, it is also a matter of satisfaction that the new website makes available comprehensive and speedy information on various consular services and provides links on commercial and economic matters, tourism and other areas of interest to citizens and visitors. We have made every effort to make the website user friendly, relevant and organized.
You are aware that with effect from 1 October 2012, there has been a change of consular jurusdiction for this Consulate. Our Consular jurisdiction over Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas covers the full range of our consular services. For the states of Colorado, Nebraska and New Mexico, we have consular jurisdiction and provide Passport, Miscellaneous Services and Consular outreach activities. For the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, we continue to provide the bulk of consular services covering Visa/OCI/PIO and Surrender Certificates outside our consular jurisdiction until further notice.
We remain committed to provide consistent and predictable consular services and commercial facilitation to those who seek our services. Your comments on the website and on consular or other matters can be sent to us through the feedback email link provided on the top right corner of the website. We will make every effort to respond to your queries within one working day.
