Menchies in Kyle, TX

The Menchies restaurant at 20090 Market Place Ave in Kyle, Texas, is the subject of a commercial interior remodel registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The project, filed as Menchies - Kyle, TX, covers a 1,324 sq ft space within Hays County. This renovation is privately funded on private land for private use, with an estimated cost of $180,000.

Construction for this alteration was scheduled to begin in June 2025, following the completion of plan review in April 2025. The filing indicated a completion date of October 2025. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project remains in a status where the physical outcome of the renovation is not verified by the state’s accessibility tracking system.

Project Specifications and Design

CSW Kcii LP LLC is listed as the owner or developer of record for this project. The design firm of record is Interplan LLC, a company that has registered several other commercial projects in the region. Kenneth Otten serves as the registered accessibility specialist for this filing. The scope of work is specifically defined as a Commercial Interior Remodel, focusing on the internal configuration of the existing structure rather than new construction.

The estimated cost of $180,000 translates to approximately $136 per square foot. When compared to other renovation and alteration filings in Hays County, this project’s total cost is below the county median of $250,000. However, the cost per square foot is above the county median of $95.
