Found It!
The drive-in was located at what is now the intersection of Railroad Ave and West Woodrow Road, Slaton, TX.
Today, the west side of the property is a cemetery while the east side is Lubbock County Precinct #2 where they keep some of their vehicles.
There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Looks like it was closed by 1962, an aerial photo from that year shows the ramps being overgrown.
Why the name Caprock?
Billboard, July 5, 1952: “Capacity of the Caprock Drive-In, Slaton, Tes., has been increased to 224 by Joe Dennis.”
