Found It!

A closer address is 506 Old Kirbyville Hwy, Jasper, TX. Google doesn’t map it exactly, but you’ll find the location on the west side of the highway about a quarter-mile south of the intersection of Old Kirbyville Hwy and HWY 96 south of Jasper.

The drive-in appears on a 1952 aerial and 1956 topo map. By 1982, the drive-in had been demolished. Today, a private business occupies the site and virtually nothing of the drive-in remains.
