Houston area swap meets flea markets for used/vintage tools?

Anyone got any idea on these that AREN'T Traders Village? My deceased Grandfathers shop was finally broken into. It's all gone. Just bare fricking floors left of a Pontiac Master Mechanic from the 50-70's shop. Who also enjoyed woodworking.
I will go through and see what scraps remain, but am not hopeful. So I will now be going the yard sale and swap meet route. I've just never seen a vintage tool swap meet, only yard sales etc and estate sales.
Any leads you guys have?

I’ve been searching FB marketplace and Craigslist and yard sales.

I would sign up to receive emails from estatesales.net. You can specify what you're looking for and then receive emails when your keyword shows up in sales. It's called a treasure tracker, I think. I get emails when "vintage Christmas" shows up on a listing.

Sign up for Dowd’s Antique and Vintage Tool’s emails. He goes to Houston periodically. He’s in the Dallas area. I go by his house whenever I’m in Dallas. I haven’t found better prices anywhere. He’s so reasonable, I don’t bother haggling. Great source of machinist tools too. I’ve gotten four or five Starrett squares from him in the $20-30 range.

Winter Conroe Swap Meet. Hot rod related, but the guys will know people with vintage tools.
