Old Highway 81 Laundromat Filing Now Says ‘Review Complete’

The milestone covers a 3,924-square-foot accessibility filing; it does not tell customers when laundry service will begin.

The Texas accessibility record lists the $400,000 Highway 81 Laundromat renovation as “Review Complete,” a plan-review milestone that does not tell prospective customers when laundry service will open.

For prospective customers tracking 4888 Old Highway 81, the filing supplies a Nov. 10, 2026, construction-completion date but does not identify when laundry service will begin.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registered project TABS2026026917 on Aug. 4. It classifies the work as a privately funded renovation or alteration, describes the scope as a washeteria tenant improvement and lists Aug. 10 as the construction start date.

The filed scope covers 3,924 square feet and carries an estimated cost of $400,000. Old Highway 81 Real Estate LLC is listed as the owner, Aari Engineering LLC as the design firm and “Not Assigned” as the tenant.

What Changed

Comal.News previously included the laundromat in an Aug. 18 report on four private construction filings. The newly preserved project page adds the current “Review Complete” status; that status does not establish that construction is finished or the laundromat is ready for customers.

The next useful records are an inspection entry, a revised project filing or local construction and occupancy approvals. Those records could establish whether work has begun, whether the schedule changed and when the facility may begin serving customers.
