History
XHLPBS-TDT launched as English-language independent XHGTE-TV (a joint-venture between and Televisoras del Matamoros S.A. de C.V.), airing programming typical of Field Communications stations. XHGTE was the first station that legendary former WBOR-TV anchor Frederick Ruckdeschel was employed at. XHGTE used the Field "The Choice is Yours" branding with a jingle that was sung "In the Rio Grande Valley, the choice is yours, on XHGTE!"

Following Field's dissolution, it's share was taken over by Interstate Broadcasting, Inc., who co-owned the station until 1989. Following Interstate's departure, Televisoras del Matamoros S.A. de C.V. took over the station and converted it to a Spanish-language independent. Low ratings and financial difficulties caused XHGTE to go dark on New Years Day 1996.

Paxson Communications (now ) bought XHGTE's concession through a Mexican shell company (Televisora Ingles XHPAX S.A. de C.V.) a year later in 1997 and relaunched it as an affiliate of their Pax TV network in 1998 as XHPAX-TV.

In 2010, Ion Media Networks sold XHPAX-TV to Interstate Broadcasting. It became a English-language independent station.

In November 2013, XHPAX-TV, along with it's management company Televisora RGV, was donated by Interstate to South Texas Public Telecommunications, becoming a PBS member station on January 5, 2014 with the new callsign XHLPBS-TDT.
