The ferry runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is operated by the Texas Highway Department. The trip takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic. Weekends in the summer can provide a two hour wait to cross when traffic is highest. In my 27 years of daily crossing there were only two times that I had to drive around (about 100 miles) due to a ship accident in the channel. Walking on is the fastest way to travel, boats leave about every 20 minutes during normal hours and slower schedule late at night.
