What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's “Truck Stop Paradise” (aired 2013) featured a Fort Worth, Texas truck stop it billed as “Billy Bob's Texas Truck Stop at Driver's Travel Plaza.” The mapping data behind the show geocoded that name to Billy Bob's Texas, a Fort Worth Stockyards nightclub that, according to Wikipedia and Evendo, is billed as the “World's Largest Honky Tonk” — an entertainment venue with no fuel pumps or trucker services, not the truck stop the episode showed. The actual business appears instead to be Driver's Travel Center, a truck stop on North Freeway near Interstate 35W exit 54 that still appears in several current business directories, including 4RoadService, Facebook, Apple Maps, and ParkAdvisor. A Census geocode places that address at 3201 North Freeway, Fort Worth. No dated source confirming Driver's Travel Center's current operating status turned up during this check, so its status here is left unresolved rather than assumed.
