Quality Tube Holdings, Inc. - Milling Equipment Foundation

Quality Tube Holdings, Inc. is converting an existing toy distribution center at 3800 Railport Parkway in Midlothian into a steel pipe manufacturing plant. The renovation/alteration project covers 33,763 sq ft of space on private land in Ellis County. The scope of work involves adding new concrete foundations to support milling equipment, with no improvements made to the office area.

The project is owned by 3800 Railport Parkway, LLC, with SAMES, Inc. serving as the design firm of record. The estimated cost for the work is $400,000, equating to $12 per square foot. This cost is above the county median for similar renovation filings, while the per-square-foot cost is below the county median. The scheduled build window of 92 days is close to the county median for this type of work.

Regulatory Status and Timeline

The project was registered with TDLR in March 2026, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in March 2026 and finish in June 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, meaning the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

SAMES, Inc. has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $10,444,300, including gymnasiums in Edinburg and a city hall in Roma. The Midlothian site is part of a broader industrial presence in the area, where the ZIP code 76065 has a population of about 44,614 and a median household income of $123,664. Ellis County unemployment was 4.6 percent in June 2026.

The conversion of the facility reflects a shift in industrial use within Midlothian, supporting manufacturing operations through structural upgrades. The specific focus on milling equipment foundations indicates a significant operational change from its previous use as a distribution center.
