This is a Port of Entry.
See USA Formalities for full details on clearing into and out of the USA.
There are some clearance facilities in the Galveston (town) area, but they are primarily dedicated to the cruise ship terminal and are not set up for informal arrivals and cruising yachts. Yachts arriving from abroad must clear in at the Seaport, which is actually near downtown and quite far inland. Local advice is to clear in at a more accessible Port of Entry such as New Orleans or Mobile Bay and then proceed to Houston. Freeport, to the west, is also a nearby Port of Entry with clearance for small yachts.
