The Rex Theater was opened by Interstate Circuit Inc. & Consolidated Texas Theatres Inc. on December 15, 1940 with Cesar Romero in “The Gay Caballero”. It was closed in July 1952.
It was occupied by a local newspaper a few years ago. They had moved out by December 2007 and the building remained vacant. By June 2022 it had become an indoor flea market.

Interstate Theatres Corp. launched the new Rex Theatre on December 15, 1940 with Cesar Romero in “The Gay Caballero.” Leo Bray bought the long-standing State Theatre from Interstate in July of 1952 and a decision was made by Interstate to close the Rex and sell the building.
Currently an indoor flea market.
