Still closed, but the facade and marquee look in good shape – very fancy marquee! Looks like the building is a converted church.

Those are some fantastic photos. The theater seems to be in sound shape and would be beautiful if fully restored.

I was in San Angelo for business and happened to run into the San Angelo Paranormal Studies (SAPS) group that was about to go inside and they invited me along. I was pretty unprepared, but still got some neat shots. Its in pretty sad shape. The original owner gave us the tour and said the guy that was renovating it ran into legal/financial trouble. The inside was pretty wrecked by the renovator.

I suggest that you remove it from your photobucket since I know who the owner is.

You’re right. I went through the photos, but I missed that one. Sorry about that.

That photo bears a striking resemblance to the photo that I linked to on Aug 12, 2007. What a coincidence.

Here is a photo, pre-renovation. The posters are for Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park, so I assume the theater closed sometime around 1994:

Well, another piece of good news here. I just ran into the official production company website for the man saving the Texas Theater. It says on there that the 1500 seat theater should be completed in time for the 2008/2009 season.

The newest article that was written said that Cal Collins, who bought the theater, says that “He did a lot more quicker and faster than he intended,” she said. “He had to back off.” So Cal Collins temporarily is producing plays in New Braunfels this summer. Work on the theater should begin by the end of summer. Heres the article. Its about halfway down.

Yes Anthony thanks for the link which does work.

But what is going on with the TEXAS at the present. Did the buyer back out?
