Directions: Texas Public Radio is conveniently located in the square bordered by IH10, Wurzbach, Fredericksburg and Medical Drive. The physical address is 8401 Datapoint in Suite 800 which is most of the 8th floor. The office is in the western-most of two, identical 10 story buildings that used to be the Datapoint Towers. Texas Public Radio is in the first block off of Fredericksburg Road if you are coming from that direction. Or if you are coming from IH10, exit Wurzbach to the west, then turn left (south) on Datapoint. It's a funny little "L" shaped street that requires a sharp right hand turn a block or two down the road. The phone number is 614-8977 in case anyone gets lost or needs assistance getting into the building.
