In January 2024 there were reports from Harlingen residents who have first hand inspected and investigated Valle Vista Mall describing it as being empty, sad and eerie. The map of the Mall has been outdated and the A/C was not working and some remaining stores like JCPenney were using small fans or small A/C units to keep the store running. There was only one restaurant open in the food court, and a section where the Sears used to be was closed off to the public. Security guards keep the Mall open for the remaining few stores that operate, but the local visitors have reported that they can no longer cool off in the Mall and the guards escort people sitting in benches or near the restaurants out of the Mall or constantly call local law enforcement. The Mall has most stores closed and has nearly no tenants. 
On Feb. 29, 2024 the mall’s owners paid $313,409 in property taxes delinquent since Feb. 1, paying $20,503 in late fees, the Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collectors office said. Last year, Kohan put the mall up for sale, listing it for $12 million. 
At the same time the report states that the electricity company in Harlingen cut its power after Valle Vista Mall did not pay the bill — again. This according to a news report by [URL]
