The drive-in was demolished sometime between 1981 and 1995. Today, it is a big, empty, and overgrown field. You can still make out the ramps.
Eugene Houck’s obituary (July 27, 1932 - Jan. 22, 2019) in the Waco Tribune Herald made it seem as though he didn’t stay in the business very long: “Eugene started working in the theater business. He owned the Joy Drive-In Theater and the Joy Theater downtown that was destroyed in the 1953 Waco tornado. He then went into the nursery and landscaping business with his father, Corbin Houck, starting up Westview Nursery, which has been around for over six decades.”
