The approximately 20,518-acre (8,303 ha) unit, co-located with the Beto, Coffield, and Michael prison units and the Gurney Unit transfer facility, is along Farm to Market Road 3452. The facility is located off of Farm to Market Road 645, 7 miles (11 km) west of Palestine.[1] The unit opened in July 1982 as the Beto II Unit.[2] It was originally named after former Texas Department of Corrections (TDC) head George Beto.[3] Construction of the bus repair facility began in October 1982 and ended in October 1984.

The Louis C. Powledge Unit received its current name on May 5, 1995, after Louis C. Powledge, a former Assistant Director of Contract Construction
