Depends where in Texas you live - El Paso is pretty far from the three border crossings in South Texas:
(1) Piedras Negras - nothin here - don't bother.
(2) Matamoros - I've only heard of a few good sources here.
(3) Nuevo Loredo - is the best of the three - you'll have the most success here.
I was approached by Mexicans twice in one day during one visit to the main strip. They usually yell out some of the more common AS names to get your attention. I think if they notice you're built, your more likely to get offers without even asking. If it's your first time to Mexico, these guys can be helpful. They will guide you to the so-called "doctors" office (your sweatin' already - aren't ya. Don't worry - no rubber gloves on the "doctor's" desk).
When you get the "doctor's" office, tell the doctor what your looking for, and he'll usually give you a list of what is available. You tell him what you want, pay for it, and then the gentleman that brought you there will make the trip to the pharamcy to pick up your goods, while you wait. (This guy requires a nominal tip).You'll also have to pay a "doctor's" fee (even though they are not doctors) to the person who writes the prescription, in addition to the actual price of the prescription. Of course, don't use your real name on the prescription. I think the doctor's fee is about 10-15%, and is only slightly negotiable.There are a few pharmacies that will deal with you directly, but I would suggest using a "doctor". Only 1 out of every 10 pharmacies will deal directly with you without a prescription, and they're hard to find. And when you do find them, they either 1) only sell straight testosterone (I think its called STEN) which isn't very effective 2) don't have sufficient quantities to make your trip worth while.
Sustanon, last year at this time was $10. Deca was $22. They say that prices have gone up quite a bit over the past few years. I heard Deca was once $10.
If you've read the old posts on this board, you'll already know that after you first cross the border, a cabby is your best tour guide. Just tell him what you need. If you go to Loredo, however, there is no need for a cabby, the main strip starts right at the border.
Don't take this trip lightly, the border patrol can be pretty intimidating. They've did a very thorough search of my car once (everything short of taking it apart). They made me pop my hood, my trunk, and then told me to step away from the car. They dumped the contents of every bag in the car on a counter. They checked: console, glove box, under front seats, under back seat, in air cleaner, beside the battery, and under spare tire in the trunk.
There's also a lot of traffic at the border - a half hour wait coming back is common.
Good Luck,
