History
LBJ/Central was originally proposed in 1997 as part of the North Central Corridor.[6] The land for the station, which originally consisted of several baseball fields, was donated by Texas Instruments.[7]
The station was opened on July 1, 2002 as part of the Red Line's third expansion, which expanded the line from Park Lane to Galatyn Park.[2]
Artwork
In tribute to Texas Instruments, the station's façade is decorated with circuit boards. The station's canopy is decorated with translucent panels honoring local organizations and individuals.[8]
