Hi Diana, As far as the Austin consulate goes: My understanding (from talking to the lady who is issuing the car permits there) is that the guy in charge of canceling permits just comes through on random visits (typically sometime before holidays), and it isn't exactly predictable when he'll come to visit from D.F. for canceling car permits in Austin. It basically boils down to pure luck.
However, the Austin consulate will issue you a new car permit even if you haven't returned the old one, if it's for the same car. You then only have to cancel the old one at the border, which usually doesn't take as much time as getting a new one there.
