Found It!

The drive-in was located at what is now the intersection of Railroad Ave and West Woodrow Road, Slaton, TX.

Today, the west side of the property is a cemetery while the east side is Lubbock County Precinct #2 where they keep some of their vehicles.

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Looks like it was closed by 1962, an aerial photo from that year shows the ramps being overgrown.
