Glass Ranch Airport

The airport was a private airstrip, and its closure was likely due to it no longer being needed by the ranch owner. This is a common fate for private airfields, which may be closed due to a change in property ownership, the owner ceasing to fly, or the high cost of maintenance. The subsequent increase in oil and gas exploration activity in the Eagle Ford Shale region, where the airport is located, suggests the land's value and use shifted towards resource extraction.

The site is no longer an airport. Based on recent satellite imagery, the land is used for cattle ranching and significant oil and gas exploration and production. The faint, overgrown outline of the former runway is still visible from the air, but it is bisected by numerous dirt access roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure related to drilling activities. The site is completely unusable for any aviation purposes.

Glass Ranch Airport was a private-use airfield serving the Glass Ranch. The identifier 'US-10644' is a non-official code from a third-party database; on official aeronautical charts, it was simply marked as 'Glass (Pvt)'. It featured a single unpaved north/south runway, approximately 3,500 feet in length. Its primary operations would have been supporting the ranch, including personal transportation for the owners and guests, property surveying, and potentially light agricultural activities. It was a typical example of the numerous private ranch airstrips that are common throughout rural Texas.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Glass Ranch Airport. Given that the land is privately owned, is now heavily developed with oil and gas infrastructure, and is in close proximity to the publicly-owned Dimmit County Airport (KCZT), there is no practical or economic incentive for its reactivation as an airfield.
