Hi,
The last time I was at the Mexican consulate in Austin to get a car
permit (before Christmas, long wait), there was also an official
running around whose sole job seemed to be canceling permits. There
was a (short) line of cars outside of the consulate getting their
permits canceled. If you make sure your permit it valid for half a
year when it's being issued, this should make it way easier for people
living near a consulate and going to Mexico often. Spend an hour or a
few at the consulate twice a year, and you are all set.
Cheers,
David

James Hunter of the Pajarito Grotto in New Mexico says that
they can now get vehicle permits and windshield stickers for Mexico
at the Mexican Consulate in Albuquerque. That is apparently also
true in Austin and Dallas. That would be a tremendous time saver at
the border. Even better, it looks like you can apply for your
vehicle permit by Internet and have it mailed to you! See

Click on English at the top, then select Passengers arriving by
land, then Where can you obtain the permit? and How much does it
cost and how do I pay?. It costs more at the consulates than at the
border, and even more by Internet, but I think the time saved would
be well worth it.
