The airport was closed sometime between 1993 and 2004. It was last depicted on the 1993 El Paso Sectional Aeronautical Chart and was no longer listed on the 2004 edition of the chart.
The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented, which is typical for a private airfield. The closure was likely due to the owner no longer having a need for the airstrip, the sale of the property, or the owner's passing. It was not closed for military conversion or major economic reasons related to public use, as it was a private facility.
The site is currently undeveloped private property, used as rangeland. Satellite imagery clearly shows the faint, overgrown outline of the former north-south runway. There are no hangars, terminals, or any other airport infrastructure remaining on the site. The surrounding area consists of rural ranchland with some evidence of oil and gas activity.
Trulock Ranch Field was a private airfield located approximately 6 miles southwest of Colorado City, Texas. It was not a public airport and held no major commercial or military significance. First appearing on aeronautical charts around 1970, it featured a single 3,000-foot unpaved runway. Its primary operation was to support the activities of the Trulock Ranch, likely for personal transportation, aerial surveys of the large property, and supporting ranching or local oil and gas operations.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Trulock Ranch Field. The land is privately owned, the infrastructure has been removed or has deteriorated completely, and the nearby Colorado City Municipal Airport (KOLS) adequately serves the general aviation needs of the area. Reactivation is highly improbable.
