And what are the hours you can obtain a Tourist Card at Tecate with respect to paying the fee at the bank?

Here are the options to Tecate northbound:



Three borders shown: Tijuana/San Ysidro, Otay, Tecate...



Signs directing you in Tecate to find the USA:





Don't be afraid, getting lost is part of the adventure and makes for great stories later!!!

For the new Nomad, welcome!
PS: Getting and paying for the FMM Tourist Card is NOT a law set in stone, every time you ask, you will get a different answer. In theory, whenever the border is OPEN, an INM officer is there to get you into Mexico legally. If the bank teller is closed, the INM officer can collect the money. I stopped and asked the Tecate border officers in late 2012, and reported that here.
