The Lubbock Regional Office at 1702 Landmark Lane in Lubbock, Texas, completed a $550,000 renovation project in early 2026. This work, filed as "Fire Renovations and Repairs," focused on restoring a 500-square-foot area of the building that was damaged by a lobby fire. The project involved removing and replacing existing materials, cabinets, and work areas, while also adding a ramp to the clerk area to improve accessibility.

Managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the construction began in March 2025 and was scheduled for completion by July 2025.
