Texas's two largest international airports, George Bush International Airport in Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, will soon introduce paperless border customs processing, according to a report in thepointsguy.com.

These airports' Global Entry kiosks will confirm travelers' identities using a facial scan when they arrive at the kiosk. The traveler will then only need to show their passport and the kiosk will not print a receipt for the customs officials.

The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has rolled out this faster, updated kiosk at 10 U.S. airports, and will have more rolled out by the end of the month.
