Runways at KTEX
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 7,111 ft. Max gradient: 0.44%
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |

| 27 | 285° | 7,111 ft | 100 ft | ASP | Yes | 0.44% |
Source: in-app airport database (runway lengths + headings), OurAirports for surface, width, lighting. Gradient computed from FAA NASR runway-end elevation deltas (the published RWY_GRAD field is empty in 99.99% of NASR rows; we derive it from the elevations the FAA does publish).
