When the USCIS website tell you exactly where to file, that's where you file. Cant be more simple than that. 

 

You dont send anything to any service centers.

Texas lockbox is where the I-129F first goes for preliminary check, to make sure you have completed everything, sent in all the requested documents, & correct fee.  The lockbox facility will forward it where it should go, after they complete their checks.  Normally for K-1,  will be California Service Center.  You will be updated as to when it is forwarded to USCIS.   I would suggest to take some time & read as much as possible the info on the various forums here on VJ.  It will benefit you greatly during your journey.
