A closer address is 11884 TX-86, Quitaque, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the projection booth.
The drive-in is still intact, but overgrown and has debris on the grounds.

Opened in 1953.
The Midway ended up not opening in 2012. That was the year everything transitioned to digital. The owners did not have enough coming in to pay for a all new digital projector system. It’s a shame, I really liked that old drive-in. Perhaps someone will take it over and restore it in the future.
Billboard, March 28, 1953: “C. C. Hamm, Quitaque, Tex., and Harry Barnhill, Turkey, Tex., have started construction of a new 200-car capacity drive-in between those two cities. Each operates a standard theater in those towns."
address given leads to racetrack not a drive-in theater
The Midway should be listed as closed, the website is defunct and the telephone is no longer in service. The address: 11826 Texas 86, Quitaque, TX 79255
Closed…AGAIN! No listing on Google or Yellow Pages.. The website says ‘See you summer 2012’ not 2013!
The Midway Drive-in opened up with new owners in 2009. They are open again in 2010 and it appears they will be open every season for now on! Here is their new website: www.midwaydrive-intexas.com
