Garner Fld sits in Uvalde, Texas. The field elevation is 941.9 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 15/33 is the longest at 5,256 ft and it is asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and your own approach setup if you need precision guidance.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 15 and 33 have REIL lighting. Runway 15/33 also has medium intensity lighting activated on CTAF. That helps for night ops. You still need to verify the lighting procedure before departure.
Uvalde Flight Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available. For clearance delivery, Houston ARTCC is listed at 281-230-5622. A turf strip 3,300 ft by 75 ft sits parallel to and east of runway 15/33. It is used by crop dusters only. First-time visitors should pay attention to that traffic mix and confirm taxi and runway use before rolling.
