Little Tex shall live on.

On Dec. 20, 2017 it was announced a buyer could not be found for the popular Vernon eatery and the owners would close the doors forever at the end of the year.

However, a recent post on the Little Tex Facebook page said the restaurant has been purchased by Tracey and Shamis. No last name for the new owners was given, but the post said operations will resume Jan. 3 with regular hours.

“We will be working closely with them for a few months yet,” said the post.

The announcement was followed by dozens of comments of happiness the longtime local business will live on.

Little Tex has been in operation for 27 years.
