205 N. Center and the building is very much still there, not demolished. Active from 1941-1949 and some of the projection equipment sits in the building to this day.
A February 12, 1974 Brownwood Bulletin article about the closing of the Bowie Theatre, last of the town’s downtown movie houses, said that the Texas Theatre was in the 100 Block of N. Center Avenue. The Texas was one of five theaters to open in Brownwood during the early 1940s to serve the large population at the nearby Army base, Camp Bowie. The Texas was on the west side of the street, so it has been demolished.
