A closer address is 969 TX-16, San Saba, TX.

This puts it right on the property. A 2008 Google Street View showed the screen mostly intact, but by the following year it had mostly disappeared.

The projection booth/concession stand is also intact and you can still see the outline and the ramps.

Austin American-Statesman, July 3, 1956: “SAN SABA, July 3 (CTS) - Fire completely destroyed the Corral Drive-In Theater, a mile south of San Saba, about 2:45 p.m. Monday (2). The fire was thought to have started from the sparks of a nearby trash or grass fire. A spokesman for the theater said that it would be rebuilt and would be ready for use in seven or eight weeks.”
