Consolidated Communications of Fort Bend - 24403 Roesner Rd. Consolidated Communications acquired TXU Communications in 2004. In 2000, TXU Communications acquired Fort Bend Communications, founded in 1914 and one of the last family-owned telephone companies in Texas. Based on that, these buildings were probably Fort Bend Communications when this photo was taken.
On a personal note, I used Fort Bend Communications pay phone services at the old Katy Community Hospital in the early 90's. At only 10 cents for local calls, a roll of of dimes kept me going while my mom recovered from a major illness. During those pre-ubiquitous cell phone days, Southwestern Bell charged a whopping 25 cents a call.
