When reviewing the paperwork for our flight to SPS; there was only one line in a large stack of paperwork showing the NOTAM for Runway 33L/15R closed that day for painting. Coming out of a 9 hour overnight with an early wake up to be scheduled on duty for 12:20; I now feel that I was fatigued at the time and missed; what turned out to be; the one and only way we would have any notice that the runway was closed that day. We conducted a normal flight without realizing the runway we intended to use was NOTAMed out of service.When we got to SPS; we told Center which runway we were using and did not receive any report that the runway was closed (we found out later that Center didn't have the NOTAM at all). Also; the Tower was closed and the ATIS just said the Tower was closed and had nothing about the closed runway. We discovered the closed runway by seeing trucks on the runway. There were no closed runway markings or lighted X's on the runway at all. We executed a go around and landed on Runway 33C/15C without incident.
On a visual approach to Runway 33L at SPS on two mile final we noticed multiple vehicles on the runway and executed a go around. We circled back to a different runway and landed without further incident. [Before departure] neither myself or the Captain remember seeing a NOTAM for a closure of Runway 33L at SPS. After executing the go around we contacted Fort Worth Center and informed them of the situation and they informed us that they also were not aware of Runway 33L being closed and showed no NOTAM for the runway. In addition there was no NOTAM information stated on the field ATIS broadcast.
During approach to SPS Runway 33L; an E145 crew detected multiple vehicles on the runway and executed a go around to land on another runway. The crew had missed the closed for painting NOTAM during preflight and ATC had no knowledge of the NOTAM. There were no closed markers on the runway.
