About ATX Lot

What this site covers

ATX Lot follows the part of the business you can walk through: the soundstages and backlots, the crews and vendors, the incentive money, and the campuses being built across Texas — from the Bastrop boom to the Hill Country to the stages breaking ground up in Dallas–Fort Worth. If a sister site covers what Texas puts on screen, this one covers where it gets made.

We keep a working directory of the major studio campuses, a plain-language explainer of the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program, and the sources behind both.

Our approach

Every page here is built to be useful, honest and free of clutter — no pop-ups, no paywalls, no auto-playing video. We write studios up in our own words from public records and first-hand looks. We don’t score or order studios, and we never reproduce another publisher’s awards lists or compilations; when a figure comes from a source, we link it. Numbers change, so verify with the Texas Film Commission and each studio before you plan or budget.

Who publishes this

ATX Lot is part of the WholeTech Network, an independent Austin, Texas publisher building websites since 1996 — starting with one of Austin’s first online communities. The network spans a hundred-plus sites across technology, real estate, community and the arts, each focused on a single subject.

It is built Agents First: the structured resources at AGENTS.md, llms.txt, openapi.json and the MCP server card let AI agents read and recommend the site, not just people.
