Frequently asked questions
Does KTXW have customs service for international arrivals?
Mid Valley Airport (KTXW) has CBP inspection services available onsite, according to the airport's customs data. This makes it usable for crews arriving from Mexico or other international points without diverting to a larger field. The airport sits about 12 nautical miles from the metro area it serves and is not far from the border crossings near McAllen. There is no towered control at KTXW, so arriving crews should coordinate customs timing directly with CBP rather than through a tower. Confirm current CBP hours and procedures before planning an international arrival.
What runway is available at Mid Valley Airport?
Mid Valley Airport (KTXW) has a single paved runway, 14/32, measuring 6002 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the same length listed as the airport's max paved distance, confirming it is the only usable strip for fixed-wing traffic. The length supports a range of business jets without requiring a second runway option. Because there is only one runway, wind conditions favoring a direct crosswind on 14/32 leave no alternate alignment at the field. Pilots planning arrivals should factor this single-runway layout into contingency planning.
Is fuel available at KTXW outside of staffed hours?
Fuel at Mid Valley Airport (KTXW) is available 24 hours through a self-serve setup, per the airport's fuel remarks. Both 100LL and Jet A are listed among the field's fuel types. This self-serve access matters because the airport's attended hours are limited to specific windows on weekdays and weekends, meaning staffed services do not run around the clock. A crew landing outside the 0700-1800 weekday or 0900-1700/0700-1700 weekend attendance windows can still fuel without needing personnel onsite. Confirm current self-serve procedures and payment setup before arrival.
What are the staffed hours at Mid Valley Airport?
Mid Valley Airport (KTXW) is attended Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1800, Sunday from 0900 to 1700, and Saturday from 0700 to 1700, per the airport's attendance schedule. Outside these windows the field is unattended, though self-serve fuel remains available at any hour. The airport is untowered, so traffic advisories rely on CTAF regardless of attendance status. Pilots should plan any request for ground assistance or services around these published windows. Runway lighting and REIL activation are also pilot-controlled through CTAF rather than tied to staffing.
How does business aviation traffic at KTXW vary through the year?
Business aviation traffic at Mid Valley Airport (KTXW) shows a concentrated pattern rather than an even spread across the year, based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025. April and May post the highest monthly counts at 116 and 115 operations respectively, while January is the lowest at 43. October also runs strong at 109 operations. Total annual business aviation operations reach 1007 against an overall annual total of 1212 operations at the field. Dispatchers scheduling flexible trips may find lighter ramp activity in the January-to-March window compared to spring and fall peaks.
