What it really is: Pantex Plant is the United States's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly plant.
The facility has been the site of multiple protests, and currently a 20 acre site located adjacent to the facility called "The Peace Farm" is used as a place of protest and for education about the environment, nuclear proliferation, and peace issues.

Ft. Worth, Texas
The claim: Federal prison under construction on the site of Carswell AFB.
What it really is: Carswell Air Force Base was shut down in 1994 and realigned as the Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Carswell Field (NAS Fort Worth JRB), and is now controlled by the Navy. The base is also host to the Texas Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve Command.
The west side of the base also still serves as Air Force Plant No. 4 and employs 17,000 personnel, who are primarily Lockheed Martin employees.
There is also no Federal prison there. There is however a Federal Medical Center there that provides specialized medical and mental health services to female inmates.

Beaumont / Port Arthur area, Texas
The claim: hundreds of acres of federal camps already built on large-scale detention camp design, complete with the double rows of chain link fencing with razor type concertina wire on top of each row. Some (but not all) of these facilities are currently being used for low-risk state prisoners who require a minimum of supervision.
What it really is: There are several large oil refineries there, and a lot of these places are fenced in due to the fact that not only does it contain expensive equipment, the stuff these refineries deal with can explode...
Via using Google Maps, other then the refineries, some shopping centers, and some warehouses, I really can't find anything that would resemble the claims that are being made for that area.

Ft. Hood (Killeen), Texas
The claim: Newly built concentration camp, with towers, barbed wire etc., just like the one featured in the movie Amerika. Mock city for NWO shock- force training. Some footage of this area was used in "Waco: A New Revelation"
What it really is: Fort Hood is one of the largest Army bases in the country. There are almost 89,000 personal there, and because there are so many people there, the base is going to look like a city, and there are going to be places there that will be off limits and have barbed wire and even guard towers around them to keep people out, not in.
The base itself has been the site of several anti-war protests as well dating back to the Vietnam War. Near the base is a coffee shop called the Under The Hood Café which has become a meeting place for anti-war activists.

Sheppard AFB, Texas
The claim: in Wichita Falls just south of Ft. Sill, OK. FEMA designated detention facility.
What it really is: It is an Air Force training base, with one of it's runways being shared with the Wichita Falls Municipal Airport under a joint civil-military arrangement.
I've also taken a look at it via Google maps, and nothing there looks like a prison camp.

Amarillo, Texas
The claim: FEMA designated detention facility
What it really is: Amarillo is a fairly decent sized city in Texas (over 190,000) and grew in population by nearly 10% between 2000 and 2010, so the city probably has had several building projects happening (most likely for housing).
Considering that it is a large, populated area, it seems highly unlikely that a FEMA detention facility could be hidden here without someone. Taking this into consideration, and the fact that there is a lack of information about this claim, it has lead me to believe that this claim is bogus.

Ft. Bliss (El Paso), Texas
The claim: Extensive renovation of buildings and from what patriots have been able to see, many of these buildings that are being renovated are being surrounded by razor wire.
What it really is: Fort Bliss has been a army base since before the Civil War, so it's not surprising that some of the buildings would occasionally need to be renovated, even including extensive renovations, in order to remain operational. If the building are being surrounded by razor wire it's probably because they need to keep people out so that the renovations can be completed.

North Dallas, Texas
The claim: near Carrolton - water treatment plant, close to interstate and railroad.
What it really is: It's a water treatment plant... and that's all it is. Most cites have water treatment plants. Being near an interstate and a railroad means nothing.

Eden, Texas
The claim: 1500 bed privately run federal center. Currently holds illegal aliens.
What it really is: While everything is factually true (and it probably does hold illegal aliens there that have committed crimes), what is not mentioned is that the prison is a low-security prison.

Bastrop, Texas
The claim: Prison and military vehicle motor pool.
What it really is: My question about this is where exactly is this alleged motor pool at? There is not exactly a lot of detail here.
When I did a Google image search for "bastrop texas military" I saw that a lot of photos were of nearby forest fires, so it's possible these vehicles (if they did exist) were used to transport in solders and even prisoners to fight forest fires.

Austin, Texas
The claim: Robert Mueller Municipal airport has detenion areas inside hangars.
What it really is: A bogus claim.
If this was true then there would simply be no way to hide it.
There are probably caged areas inside of the hangers there, but that is probably to keep people out, not in.
