Falfurrias ( fal-FYOOR-ee-əs) is a city in and the county seat of Brooks County, Texas. Its population was 4,981 at the 2010 census, in a county that in the same census was just over 7,000. The town is named for founder Edward Cunningham Lasater's ranch, La Mota de Falfurrias. In 1893, the Falfurrias ranch was one of the largest in Texas at some 350,000 acres (140,000 ha). The biggest industry in Falfurrias is the United States Border Patrol interior checkpoint south of the city.


As an indirect consequence, many migrants seeking to bypass the checkpoint by setting off across the arid land die of exposure and dehydration. The biggest issue in Falfurrias in the early 21st century is illegal immigration and the costs this imposes on Brooks County. The costs are for recovering, attempting to identify, and burying the dead migrants. Falfurrias and Brooks County were featured in a 2014 Latino USA radio story on illegal immigration in South Texas.


The 2021 movie Missing in Brooks County deals with the same topic.
