Film & Slide Scanning Service
for Houston, Texas

Mail-in from Houston to Waco

BellexFire Digital is based in Waco, Texas — about 3 hours northwest of Houston on US-290 or I-10/I-35. Houston-area customers ship their film via USPS Priority Mail, which typically reaches Waco in 2 business days.

To start an order from Houston: fill out the intake form, receive a confirmed quote, then ship your film to us with tracking and insurance. We notify you when the package arrives and when scanning begins.

We'll confirm the shipping address when we accept your order — see How It Works for the full process.

Drop-off is not available from Houston. This is a mail-in service.

Houston-area genealogy and historical collections

Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the United States, and that diversity is reflected in its photographic archives — family collections spanning multiple generations and continents, community photographs documenting the city's rapid growth from the mid-20th century forward, and church and civic organization archives that represent Houston's many neighborhoods.

Families, genealogy researchers, and historical organizations in Harris County and surrounding areas regularly use mail-in film scanning services to digitize collections before the film deteriorates further. Houston's humidity is particularly hard on film that's been stored in attics or garages.

Houston 501(c)(3) organizations qualify for our 30% nonprofit discount and free return shipping. Standard turnaround from receipt is 4–6 weeks; rush is 2 weeks at +50% of base price.
