The consulate general's district comprised not only the city of Houston but also the states of Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the Florida panhandle.

The Swedish government announced in February 2025 that it intends to reopen the Consulate General in Houston.

It was understood that there should be no exaggerated hopes of quickly establishing a large market there, but the area had significant potential and was one of the wealthiest parts of the United States.

[4] At the inauguration of the consulate, representatives from the city's business and trade community gathered to participate, including Mayor Oscar F. Holcombe and former Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones.

[10] In 1978, Sweden reestablished the consulate general in Houston due to "the heavy economic decisions that will be made in this region in the future.

"[10] The year before, the county governor and former leader of the Moderate Party, Yngve Holmberg, was offered the position of Consul General in Houston, despite criticism from the labor organizations of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, TCO and SACO/SR.

[13] In September 1980, it was reported that Chancellor of Justice Bengt Hamdahl [sv] had initiated a preliminary investigation into Holmberg's actions as head of the Swedish Consulate General in Houston.

Earlier that year, staff at the consulate general had requested the Ministry for Foreign Affairs to intervene to address certain collaboration issues.

Pending the trial, Holmberg's duties were relocated to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs administration in Stockholm.

[20] In 1983, Sweden instead opened an honorary consulate general in Bellaire, Texas, with attorney Jeffrey B.

Today, the honorary consulate general is located at the same address as the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce Texas (SACC-Texas) in Houston.

In December 2007, the Swedish government rescinded the 2004 decision to establish a consulate general in Houston.

[18] From 1949, the consulate's district encompassed Houston and the states of Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, as well as the Florida panhandle.

[30] From when the honorary consulate general opened in 1983 until at least 1988, the district consisted of Texas except for the city of Dallas.

[33] The chancery was located in the Commerce Building, Houston, in 1950[34] before moving to 3602 Montrose Boulevard in the Neartown-Montrose area in the same year.

[31] From at least 1985 to at least 1988, it was located at the law firm of Liddell, Sapp, Zivley, Brown & LaBoon's office on the 34th floor of the Texas Commerce Towers.

From at least 1964 to 1968, the consul general's residence was located at 4640 Bryn Mawr Lane in the Afton Oaks neighborhood of Houston.
