Back before there was Texas (the USCIS address), the 129f instructions showed which service center one sent their petition to depending on your state. That is all out the window with Texas being the sole address to send to. USCIS has no ryhme or reason where petitions are sent to so there is no list that you are asking about.

Plan for 10 months approval, be happy with 5.
