KDTX-TV is a religious television station in Dallas, Texas, broadcasting locally on channel 58 as an Trinity Broadcasting Network O&O. Its studios are located in TBN's International Production Center in Irving, Texas.

The station was founded February 9, 1987. In recent years, it has been considered TBN's second-most important station (after its flagship station, KTBN in Santa Ana, California). TBN has moved several of its operations to the Metroplex; also, Dallas-Fort Worth is a major media market with a large religious base.

After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion, which is tentatively scheduled to take place on February 17, 2009^[1], KDTX-TV will remain on its current pre-transition channel number, 45. ^[2] However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will display KDTX-TV's virtual channel as 58.
