Please update, CLOSED as of February 5, 2026 Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is shuttering its location in La Centerra in Katy — the only one in the Greater Houston area. While no public statement has been published by the company, our call to the theater verified the closing. Additionally, as reader Dale Prasek discovered and we confirmed, no tickets are available to purchase on the website beyond Saturday, February 7.

I asked to speak with the manager of the Katy location as well as emailed franchisee Triple Tap Ventures LLC. We’ve not yet received answers on why it’s being closed. Should we receive additional information, we’ll update this post.

The closure marks the end of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema having a presence in Houston for more than two decades. It first opened at West Oaks Mall in May 2003 and closed in June 2012 — a long and successful run hampered at the end by the diminishing stature of the mall. The opening was notable as the first cinema to operate as a dine-in theater, with servers bringing dishes and drinks right to guests in the auditorium.

A Mason Road location in Katy followed, then Alamo Drafthouse Cinema would open a second in Vintage Park in far northwest Houston on February 13, 2013. However, by December 2016 and after only a three-and-a-half year run, the location was leased by competitor Star Cinema Grill.

In July 2018, the La Centerra location debuted in a brand-new, custom-built facility, and it’s had nearly an eight-year run. However, there has been cause for concern over the past decade. The Houston-area locations were franchises operated by Triple Tap Ventures LLC, which announced locations in Houston, Sugar Land and League City that never came to fruition. The COVID-19 pandemic was not kind to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain, either, as it filed for bankruptcy in March 2021.

While the closing of the La Centerra location marks Alamo Drafthouse Cinema’s exit from the Greater Houston area, other Texas locations remain open in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and other towns.
