It is a pretty small house. Inside you'll find books, shoes, some glassware, bedding and clothes, but little in the way of furniture. This place also doubles as a food pantry, but there are no public restrooms here. Prices here are pretty much less than what you would pay at Goodwill. However, this is a cash only thrift store, no credit cards or anything over a $50 bill. Informative photos included.

Willie is by far my favorite as I'm an avid opossum lover. Such great animals to have visit your yard at night. I welcome the free pest control from a very misunderstood marsupial. We were able to pet Willie (highlight of my visit even if he "played dead") along with a milk snake and a striped skunk named Ambrosia. The variety of owls here are amazing & beautiful from screech owls to barn to barrel. Before walking the grounds there was a trailer that housed lots of hands on learning (animal pelts, foot prints, scat varieties, skeletons a plenty, taxidermy scene). You can tell that this facility invests in proper care for the Texas wildlife it rehabilitates and houses as well as does an exceptional job educating the public. There was plenty of parking with overflow parking being located in what looks like a shared lot with the church. Definitely look forward to coming again during another one of their events or classes.
