DALLAS Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) and Clyde Champion Barrow[1] (March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934)
To see where Clyde grew up, head to 1221 Singleton Boulevard, where his father housed his family and business in a filling station. The building is still there; however, there’s no marker to let visitors know what they’re seeing.An old, abandoned gas station is the former Barrow filling station and childhood home of Clyde Barrow. A local resident told us that the front, brick part is the original building, while the back, wooden part was added years later by other owners

Eagle Ford School (1601 Chalk Hill Road) is where Bonnie attended elementary school. Her report card was found in the basement.

Today’s Evans Grinding Co. (3308 Swiss Circle) near Baylor Hospital used to be called Hargrave’s Cafe. This is where the teenage Bonnie worked from January 1928 through spring 1929.

Teodoro,

Impressive research of the life of Bonnie and Clyde in Dallas.

Thanks to the research of nmjames, we know that Bonnie and Clyde visited Bonnie's aunt, Nellie Parker Stamps, in Eddy County, NM, in August 1932.  Neighbors reported strangers in the area, and Deputy Joe Johns was sent to investigate.  He was kidnapped by Raymond Hamilton, Bonnie, and Clyde.  After a wild ride, hey released him unharmed near San Antonio, TX.

Ref:  From Newspapers.com,  "The Daily Current-Argus", Carlsbad, New Mexico, Wednesday, August 23, 1932.

        From Find A Grave Memorial 66420132, Obit

Bonnie Parker had another aunt, Laura Parker Chance Baker, who lived Logan, Quay County, New Mexico.  Census records confirm she was a resident of Quay County in the 1930 and 1940 census.
