Houston’s last original drive-in theater, the I-45 Drive-In opened on July 2, 1982. The 46-acre site had 6 screens and was operated by McLendon Theatres.
The I-45 closed on Leap Year Day, February 29, 1992, after a land development group purchased the site for retail construction.

The picture above is from about 1987. Chuck the pic in your first link is from 1984
I saw this sign for the 45 Drive in painted over and was used for the short lived Lone Star Amphitheater on Westpark @ W Loop 610
Correction that second photo is not from 1984 but 1985. I went here in the fall of 1987 with my family when I was 11 to see a double feature of THE LOST BOYS and WITCHES OF EASTWICK. The sound was off an AM radio station. But it was fun!
Uploaded Goggle Earth 1989. With all the land out there, they had to build right there the drive-in was at. Maybe the business was not very good.
