Nope, it was the Oasis restaurant at Sunrise Shopping Center. I watched the filming.
The first photo of McQueen waiting outside the prison was actually shot outside of Huntsville at the Fergerson Unit .
Thank you! I admit I was slightly skeptical but every single source reported this as being the Huntsville Unit, so I naturally assumed it had been re-built or something, after all, this movie is over 40 years old!
Actually it is outside the Ellis Unit, outside Huntsville, Texas The second picture is the Ferguson Unit, but the front of the unit is not in the movie.
Location #10, Beynon’s House
Is on a hill immediately north of San Marcos, and was owned by LBJ prior to the “1962 Election”
It has a great view of the city; will try to get the physical address.
Hi, scene #12 is clearly not in San Antonio, I live there and there are are certainly no mountains/ hills anywhere. The surrounding area looks to be perhaps El Paso.
I lived in San Marcos and was present for much of the filming. I lived on W. Hopkins, college days, and that Buttercrust Bread truck was always on the road home. Great memories for me, thanks for taking the time to compile all this!

Was there also.with my wife late at night watching the filming at the Oasis, met my wife there a year before, we also went to Fabens to watch Steve Mcqueen blow up a police car .
The Oasis in Homestead Florida area was one scene with Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen. In 1972.
Sorry the Oasis in El Paso Tx. My bad. Don’t know what I had in the old brain. Anyway I was stationed at Ft Bliss at the time.
