    They were made in Dallas, Texas. The company got going in 1968.
    They made a few presses & dies for center fire ammo, but were more well known for their shot gun reloaders.

    I think they closed up and sold out around 1975.

    Isn't that a Texan press, not a Texas press?

    I had to get my glasses and double check, but yes, it is.

    I have one of their 12 ga loaders and a single stage c press. Bought new from Globe discount city. They have both loaded many rounds of ammo.

    A buddy inherited a 12 ga. one, gave it to me, and I used it awhile.
    Then I gave it to his SIL when he got into shotguns. It did a good job for all of us.

    I never heard why they went under. Everyone seemed to like their products.
    Maybe they didn't sell enough of them to keep the doors open, or sold out and retired early.
