A pipeline was built right down the middle of the property in 2024. The remains of the old concession building still remain. When I was there ten years ago the old projectors were still there, open to the elements.
Elgin had another indoor theatre beside the Eltex, called just the Elgin Theatre. They were open at the same time. I have ads for the Elgin but no other information.
Is part of the old concession building being used?
The property is now full of solar panels.
This theater has been closed as a “movie theater” for many years. Then a church bought the building and they moved out early last year.
Perhaps a better address would 1283 US 59, Cleveland, TX.
In response to Michael’s post it is a different drive in theater.
The theatre is temporarily closed. The owner passed away. His funeral is February 7th.
The building has been torn down.
Gull Lake Distilling company is in the building now. Address is 92-100 E. Michigan Ave.
A better address would be 3007 US-82

At present time, there are apartments on property.
The building was torn down in 2022.
It was open when I went through the town in December 2025.
This is not the marquee for the Trail Drive In located in El Paso
The theatre was torn down in 2019.
The building has been torn down and a laundry mat has been built on the site.
Currently a funeral home.
This theater should be changed to “closed”.
Better address is 115 E Main St.
I have newspaper ads from the same week showing booth the Eltex and Elgin theatre open and showing movies in 1952?
The old concession building remained until 2010, when it was torn down for the new business on the property.
I don’t believe this drive in was ever called Coyote 7? At present time, a machine works business is on the old drive in property.

It appears that the drive in property is vacant and the church property backs up to the old drive in.
The main screen as you come into the drive in was blown down Monday, June 9th as result of heavy storms that came through the area.
