Covey Trails is in Fulshear, Texas. Field elevation is 130 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,352 ft of turf. No tower is published here, so use CTAF 122.725 for traffic calls and monitor the field closely. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,130 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The published remarks matter here. Base legs and turns to final must stay within 0.75 NM of the runway ends. There are also tree obstructions near both ends. Runway 17 has a visual approach slope indicator that operates continuously. Lights run from dusk to 2200. After 2200, low intensity runway lights on 17/35 are activated on CTAF.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify services before you go. The field also has soft areas and unretracted sprinkler heads on the runway. That makes surface condition and braking worth checking before landing. Houston Approach handles IFR clearance delivery at the published phone numbers in the Chart Supplement. The airport sits in the Houston area, so expect local traffic and stay sharp on pattern discipline.
