Closed in 1964. Then the screen burned in a fire.
A closer address is 1523 E 3rd St, Burkburnett, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
There is only the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand left.

It closed sometime before 1971. An aerial from that year shows the projection booth/concession stand and perhaps the screen still standing. But it clearly had been closed for some time.
Billboard, June 14, 1952: “After having its original opening postponed because of heavy rains, the Tex-Ok Drive-In formally opened last week at Burkburnett, Tex. Louis Littlefair is manager.”
All that remains is the foundation to the projector booth/concession stand.
