It is. It opened as AMC Mesquite 30 in March, 1998. The Film-Tech website got the name wrong. It has the same design as the AMC Studio 30 in Houston.

I have checked the Dallas Morning News online archives year by year 1950-1978 and find that it closed in 1963. I will upload the document in early November for the DFW area to my movie-theatre.org website.
