If this is my flight itinerary from U.S. to Thailand, at what point will I be asked to show all my documents? Am I going to show the TR visa, COE, COVID test results, Fit-To-Fly, & Insurance in AUS, DFW or DOH? The Thai Embassy states you must present these documents at the "departure airport", but what is the departure airport in this case?

AUS (Austin) --> DFW (Dallas) --> DOH (Doha) --> BKK (Bangkok)
Answer summary
When traveling from the U.S. to Thailand, you will most likely be required to present your visa, COE, COVID test results, Fit-To-Fly certificate, and insurance documentation at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), where you check in for your international flight to Thailand. It's essential to keep these documents in your hand luggage since airlines often check for required documents during check-in, and you may also need to show them to immigration officials.

Your "departure" airport will be DFW. Assuming you do have your visa stamp in the passport.

Did you get the Special Visa that can extend up to 9 months or did you get the Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV)?

Very occasionally the transit point wants to see the docs also. In other words - keep EVERYTHING in your hand luggage.

Don't pack them in your checked baggage. It's been my experience that airlines sometimes ask for required documents at check-in. Also Immigration Officer may/will ask for necessary documents when reviewing your passport/visa, etc. In the Thailand airports you get your baggage after immigration.

Point is - don't be a dick! Keep the paperwork handy. If not for your sake, for the sake of the poor schmucks standing in line behind you.

More than likely it’ll be DFW. Because that’s where the international flight will check you in.
