PickleTex Breaks Ground Near Georgetown for Nine Outdoor Courts Opening Early Summer

Owners broke ground on PickleTex in late February, with plans to open early this summer," a Community Impact report by Gracie Warhurst noted, as crews started work on a new commercial pickleball facility near the Georgetown / Liberty Hill-Leander border. The project, described in planning fragments and company postings, calls for nine outdoor pickleball courts and will use a Georgetown mailing address at 6827 W State Hwy 29, Georgetown, TX 78628.

PickleTex's own site carries a banner reading "Opening spring 2026!" while the Community Impact article timestamped 12:35 PM Feb 25, 2026 CST reports owners expect an opening "early this summer." Both timelines appear in the source material and the difference has not been reconciled; PickleTex lists the spring banner and Community Impact reports the early-summer plan. The original reporting and company content agree on a late February 2026 groundbreaking but differ on the public opening window.

The PickleTex website lists a second announced location at 1190 Ruswood Drive, Abilene, TX 79601, and is actively recruiting staff. A job posting for "Facility Manager – Premier Pickleball Facility" describes the role this way: "The Facility Manager is the on-site leader responsible for launching, operating, and growing a PickleTex Premier Pickleball facility. This hands-on role oversees all aspects of facility operations, staff leadership, programming, member engagement, customer experience, and event coordination." The posting also markets the role with the line: "As the face of the facility, you’ll ensure a welcoming, efficient, and community-centered environment where players of all levels feel excited to play, connect, and return. This is a unique opportunity to help build a high-quality pickleball club from the ground up while shaping its culture, standards, and long-term success."

Hiring instructions are explicit: applicants are told to "Send your resume and cover letter to info@pickletex.com. In your cover letter, specify which location you prefer, Georgetown, TX or Abilene, TX." The PickleTex site footer carries "Copyright © 2026 PickleTex" and site fragments reference a Cleantalk Pixel and PT logo. The Community Impact page displays a contact number of (512) 989-6808 and carries the image credit "(Courtesy PickleTex Georgetown)" beneath the breaking-ground photo.

Social-metadata in the assembled material shows a NewsBreak snippet listing "17K Posts" and "16K Followers," suggesting some distribution or audience footprint for the announcement. Local jurisdiction remains a key open detail: the company provides a Georgetown address but source material also frames the project as coming to the Georgetown, Leander area and original notes describe the site as near the Georgetown / Liberty Hill-Leander border. Permit records or confirmation from PickleTex will be needed to determine which municipality controls permitting and inspections and to lock down an exact public opening date.
