KBTX-TV (channel 3) is a television station in Bryan, Texas, United States, serving the Brazos Valley as a dual affiliate of CBS and The CW.

Owned by Gray Media, the station maintains studios on East 29th Street in Bryan; its transmitter is located northwest of Anderson, Texas.

Although KBTX-TV maintains its own facilities, master control and some internal operations are based at KWTX-TV's studios on American Plaza in Waco.

The station provided non-stop coverage of the event, and served as a major source of information locally and nationally in the hours that followed.

However, in late March 2009, the two stations returned to running separate newscasts, with KBTX citing "an overwhelming request from viewers for the show to be based out of the Twin Cities again.

KBTX previously served as the de facto CBS station in Houston County in the Tyler market until KYTX signed on in 2004.

KBTX competes in Division 3, which includes the largest Texas markets outside the four major metro areas (Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Austin).
