A TDLR filing suggests that a RaceTrac gas station may be coming to the southwest corner of CH Matthies and Highway 46 in Seguin, Texas. The proposal outlines a 5,951-square-foot facility featuring a convenience store, fuel pump canopy, and parking areas.
According to the listing, construction is tentatively set to begin in March 2026, with completion by March 2027. However, this timeline is subject to change, as TDLR filings do not guarantee final approval.
If this project moves forward, it will mark another step in the rapid commercial expansion of the Highway 46 corridor, which has seen significant development over the last few decades.
A Look at the Past: How the Area Has Changed
1995: A Quiet Intersection
Historical aerial imagery from 1995 shows a largely undeveloped landscape, with only a few buildings near the intersection. At that time, this part of Seguin was still rural, and Highway 46 had not yet emerged as a major retail corridor.
2014: Early Stages of Growth
By 2014, the area had already begun transforming. Several businesses and infrastructure upgrades had appeared, but the specific site for the proposed RaceTrac station remained vacant.
Present Day: A Bustling Commercial Hub
Today, the intersection of CH Matthies Jr and Highway 46 is a key commercial hub in Seguin. The area now includes fast-food chains, retail stores, and service businesses, such as:
- Whataburger
- Bill Miller BBQ
- Burger King
- Domino’s Pizza
- Taco Bell
- An urgent care facility
The proposed RaceTrac location sits in one of the last undeveloped spaces along this busy corridor, making it a strategic addition if the project moves forward.
What’s Next?
If RaceTrac finalizes its plans, the new location would bring more fuel and convenience options to the area, reinforcing Seguin’s ongoing commercial growth along Highway 46.
