Her's the announcement from the website

Johnny Lyon's Texas Hall of Fame is officially closed.

This closure is in keeping with Mr. Lyon's wishes and coordinated by his Estate Executives.

The Management Team had hoped to go out quietly on New Year's Eve with one of Johnny's favorite and most loyal Texas Artists, Aaron Watson. This timeline had been moved up from Early Spring, as recent as two weeks ago. This show was going to be quite special in many ways.

However, as the news began to spread outside the confines of the management team, inappropriately by third parties, our concerns grew as to the potential liability and risks associated with a possible dramatic end to this legendary establishment. We have chosen to honor Johnny Lyon's legacy by placing integrity and the well-being of the community above financial gain. Johnny took the responsibility of providing a place of fun and music seriously and had an outstanding and stellar record with TABC throughout his fifty years of club ownership.

The values the THOF represented to Mr. Lyon have been imparted to the friends, musicians and fans that enjoyed good times and good music there for over 33 years. His love of TAMU, Pure Country Music, and community support is a legacy we chose to leave untarnished.

Thank You For Your Patronage Over The Years!

God Bless Johnny Lyon, "The Colonel". He was a simply wonderful man and a true supporter of Live Music his entire life. He is greatly missed and we know the THOF will be missed also.
