Film Friendly Texas - City of Kaufman

Kaufman, the proud county seat of Kaufman County, offers filmmakers an authentic slice of Texas charm with a variety of film-ready locations. At the heart of town lies our historic downtown square, where beautifully preserved architecture, brick-lined sidewalks, and locally owned boutiques create a picture-perfect backdrop. Houston Street, lined with character-rich homes and churches, adds to the timeless small-town feel. The square comes alive seasonally, dressed with warm fall décor and dazzling Christmas lights, creating natural set designs for holiday or community-centered productions. Local coffee shops and eateries add vibrancy and a welcoming atmosphere, offering both cozy interiors and bustling street views. Combined with the stately county government buildings, courthouse, and accessibility to the Dallas metroplex, Kaufman blends history, warmth, and cinematic potential—making it an ideal destination for filmmakers seeking authenticity and character.
