The Brauntex Theatre is a former movie palace (now a performing arts theater) located in downtown New Braunfels in the U.S. state of Texas.

Many members of the staff recalls many highlights of the early movie operations such as the time that Pedro Gonzalez appeared while filming the John Wayne classic, The Alamo.

Slowly over time this once grand establishment with smartly dressed ushers and a bright neon sign became a ghost of years past.

Out of this the committee decided to mold this run-down movie palace into a full-scale theater which was to be run by the Brauntex Performing Arts Theatre Association.

In July 1999 corporate non-profit status was acquired, the Association elected officers and directors and contracted a management consultment and a grant writer.

On August 31, 1999 the earnest money contract was signed and on December 10, 1999 the Association became proud owners of the dilapidated gem, the Brauntex Theatre.
