Just texted a buddy...

"They didn't really close. They got bought out by epw(engine performance warehouse). I called yesterday looking for a part and they said that beginning Monday 9/29/14 they stopped selling to the public "

That's the one. They only sell to machine shops and speed shops so it might as well have closed. They couldn't compete price wise anyhow. I only used them in a pinch. EPWI is really cheap on a lot of stuff but you have to have a connection.

From someone who used to work at TP, yes all above is true. Frankly I do not blame the former owners of Texas Performance to do what they did. Its unfortunate but that's business folks. Matt same for me.

i believe he is talking about a straw man transaction.

since texas performance apparently no longer sells to the public, one should have one of the businesses named above complete the purchase for you.
