The filing, submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), lists a potential construction timeline from May 2025 to October 2025. However, this is a regulatory filing, not an official company announcement, meaning details may change before construction begins.



What the Filing Reveals

  • Project Type: New construction
  • Square Footage: 3,305 sq ft
  • Status: Registered with the state

The site remains undeveloped but is near residential and commercial areas. Its location suggests it would be a strong candidate for a Whataburger.

Site History: A Changing Landscape

  • 1969: The area was mostly open land, with an airstrip or industrial facility nearby.
  • 2006: Residential neighborhoods and road expansions started to appear.
  • 2024: The lot remains vacant, but nearby areas are fully built out with homes, retail centers, and other commercial spaces.


Whatโ€™s Next?

Whataburger has not officially confirmed this location. However, the state filing indicates movement on the project.

If construction moves forward, this restaurant would expand Whataburgerโ€™s presence in Galveston County and serve the areaโ€™s growing population.
