📰About Bootleg Chicken

Bootleg Chicken is a new 2,400 square foot metal building located at 2524 E Main St in Gatesville, Texas. The project is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the name Cowpoke 101 LLC. This is a new construction effort, not a renovation of an existing structure, and the filing specifies a metal building design. The estimated cost for the project is $300,000, which works out to $125 per square foot.

Construction Timeline and Status

According to the TDLR filing, construction was scheduled to begin in June 2026 and finish in September 2026. Plan review was completed in September 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window was 92 days, which is shorter than the county median of 183 days for similar new construction projects in Coryell County.

The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is James A Gee. This means the building is not in a high-risk flood area according to federal mapping.

Local Context and Comparisons

Gatesville is in Coryell County, where the median estimated cost for new construction projects is $750,000. The Bootleg Chicken project is below this median, falling in the bottom quarter of costs for similar filings in the county. The median size for new construction in Coryell County is 5,000 square feet, while this project is 2,400 square feet. The median cost per square foot in the county is $149, making this project’s $125 per square foot below the local average.

A Facebook post by a local user mentioned that Bootleg Chicken from Goldthwaite is opening in the old Rancher’s place on Main and Lovers Lane. The post noted that the restaurant has great food. However, the TDLR record does not confirm the business is open, as the final inspection has not been recorded. The construction status and business opening are separate matters, and the public record only confirms the construction filing and plan review completion.
