I'm flying BZE-IAH on Oct 2 and I have a Global Entry screening appointment *airside* near the Ruby's diner exactly one hour after my flight lands.

I'm flying first class on award so I should be able to get off the plane and to immigration super fast.

My plan of attack is:
Immigration Automated Kiosk (US Citizen) -> Turn left, go through One-Stop to get into Terminal E. (With no checked luggage.) -> Then I think I'll be airside at E and able to get to my appointment on time. (Am I wrong in assuming the One-Stop drops you out right into E, airside?)

However, I've heard that One-Stop is closed sometimes. So the more arduous journey would be:
Immigration Automated Kiosk -> Customs line -> Customs -> Clear TSA at E -> Appointment with CBP.

Do you think either of these is realistic in an hour? Any better way to handle this?

Thanks!
With one-stop you still have to re-clear TSA but it drops you in the E area post 20 seconds from the GE spot near Ruby's. With one-stop you will have no problem making it.
