KHMX-FM (MIX 96.5), is a Hot AC (Adult Top 40) station in Houston, Texas. KHMX was the first successful Mix station to go on the air; future Mix stations launched in other cities are modeled after KHMX. Its transmitter is located in Missouri City, Texas. Before switching to its "Mix" format, one solid week of a ticking clock was broadcasted, building audience anticipation of the new format.

KHMX used to broadcast nationwide on XM Satellite Radio from 2001 to the end of 2003, in the same vein as satellite superstations such as WTBS. In 2004, all XM music channels went commercial free, and KHMX was replaced with a unique-to-XM Mix channel, retaining the same format. Since then, Clear Channel has regained the right to air commercials on their XM music channels. Mix now carries commercials, but is still exclusive to XM. It has also since changed formats to adult hits.
