Yesway #2074 in Hale Center, TX

The Yesway #2074 Hale Center renovation at 315 Main St in Hale Center is a 1,800 sq ft interior project estimated at $245,500. This renovation/alteration work is privately funded on private land for private use, with BW GAS and Convenience Retail LLC listed as the owner of record. The project was registered with TDLR in April 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2025 and finish in May 2025.

Despite the scheduled completion date having passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project status is listed as Review Complete, indicating that the design phase is finished, but construction verification is pending. This distinction is important for anyone tracking the project’s progress, as the absence of a final inspection means the work may still be in progress or awaiting final sign-off.
