The Texas Junk Company, located at 215 Welch Street in the 4th Ward, is about as unique a store as you can ask for. There are frames, Zippo lighters, posters, and a whole lot more in addition, but this store has become famous for one thing...boots.

They have all manner of used boots for both men and women in a great variety of colors and styles. The boots are arranged by size and width, however, be warned, the popular sizes sell out quick, especially around Rodeo. I spoke with the owner, Robert Novotney, on my last trip into the store early on a Saturday afternoon. He commented that he started out on Friday morning with hundreds of new women's boots on Friday. They were down to less than 100 pairs of ladies boots, and what they had left were in the very uncommon sizes. Yep, folks, they go that quick!
When planning your trip, please be aware that they are only open Friday and Saturday from 11-6 and only take cash and checks for payment. Also, call to make sure they are open (713-624-6257) or check out their Facebook (no Twitter that I can find) for any updates as Robert does all the buying himself and will sometimes close for buying trips.
