A deposit of 1/2 the total rental cost is required to hold the date. The deposit is non-refundable within 30 days of the event. The balance is due one week prior to the event.
All rental blocks include both set-up and tear-down time. Please keep this in mind when booking.
All events must complete an event memo.
Booking also requires a completed credit card authorization form in lieu of a damage deposit. The card will not be charged for any portion of the booked rental but may be charged for damages or overage time.
Payments may be made by check, ACH, cash, money order, cashier’s cheque, or card.
Our two auditoriums have a Dolby Digital/ QSC surround sound system. Two wired microphones, stands, and general spot lighting are included with any rental. Clients are welcome to bring additional and/or different microphones for their event. The Texas Theatre does not provide a board operator for live music rentals or panel discussions, but we are happy to put you in touch with one. Ask us about additional tech capabilities which we can provide. For Touring promoter shows please see our PDF tech pack for full capabilities.

Email us for layout of the upstairs Auditorium. Downstairs can seat 670 people. Upstairs can seat 165 people.
Clients are welcome to sell their own tickets.
The rental party is solely responsible for any and all promotion of the event.
Any caterer may provide food for an event; the Texas does not have an approved list. All beverages – hard and soft – must be purchased through the theatre.
Multiple types of bar set-up – open, cash, ticket, etc – are available. With any bar setup, the only alcohol for which you are charged is that served and any special orders (for example, a specific bubbly). In most cases we can accommodate requests for specific beverages (hard or soft) with two-to-three weeks’ notice.
