The public record describes a plan, not an operating facility
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registered Project Theo on October 28 and lists Wal-Mart Stores East LP as the owner. The filing describes a new 712,500-square-foot distribution center plus a connected 31,933-square-foot office at 3641 S. Santa Clara Road in Cibolo, northeast of San Antonio.
The record estimates a $400 million privately funded project, with construction listed from February 1, 2027, through August 1, 2029. Its current status is Project Registered. A TDLR accessibility-project registration is an early planning record, not proof that site work has started, a building permit has been issued or an opening date is fixed.
What the project could mean for freight
The address places a large planned warehouse project near the San Antonio region's Interstate 10 and Interstate 35 freight network. If it advances, construction hauling would precede any later inbound and outbound distribution work, but the filing does not describe lane volumes, fleet assignments, carrier contracts or a go-live schedule.
Texas Public Radio and Supply Chain Dive independently reported the filing and its planned scale. Walmart has not issued a reviewed announcement for this Cibolo project, so this report does not apply operating details from Walmart's other distribution and fulfillment centers to the proposed site.
No current driver-hiring announcement
The TDLR record does not publish a job count, job classifications, pay, application window or start date. Drivers should not treat the project registration as a current Walmart hiring notice or assume that future transportation work will be assigned to company drivers, private fleets or contractors.
For now, the useful milestone is the dated public registration. Later permits, a Walmart announcement or a confirmed construction start would be separate developments and should be checked before relying on any schedule or employment claim.
