Texas Bottling Works was first listed in 1918 at 520 Park Dr., the same address used by National Bottling Works and was under the proprietorship of Francisco and Rafael Gonzalez.  Rafael Gonzalez, probably a brother of Francisco, had been a clerk with Bryon Brothers when he became a member of the firm in 1918.  The next year, Rafael joined the U. S. Army, leaving Francisco in charge.  Francisco moved the company to 820 South El Paso Dr. in 1920.  In 1923 Gonzalez advertised under his own name instead of Texas Bottling Works, a practice that appears periodically among the smaller bottlers.  Although he listed the business at the El Paso Dr. address, he advertised himself as a "grocer" and "meat market" in addition to "bottling works."  The final owner, Carmen Morales, took charge in 1924 and again moved the company, this time to 438 Durango St.  Morales first appeared in El Paso in 1915 in the feed business with Morales & Ponce but changed to the grocery business with M. Martinez-Hernandez in the firm of Martinez & Morales the following year.  In 1916, he joined in partnership with Mariano Morales, a resident of Ciudad Juárez, in the firm of Morales & Morales, grocers and remained in the business until he became a bottler.  Morales returned the plant to 820 South El Paso Dr. in 1927 and remained at that location until at least 1934, the final entry Texas Bottling Works.  As with many others, Morales likely became a victim of the Great Depression (EPCD 1918-1934).
