It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Alvin-licensed UniMás station KFTH-DT (channel 67). Both stations share studios near the Southwest Freeway (adjacent to the I-610/I-69 interchange) on Houston's southwest side, while KXLN-DT's transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County. In addition to its own digital signal, KXLN is simulcast in high definition on KFTH's fifth digital subchannel (virtual channel 67.5) from a separate transmitter near Missouri City.

Trinity Broadcasting of Texas dropped out in 1981, leaving two combatants for the channel. Pueblo Broadcasting, owned by businessmen A.C. Peña and J. Adán Treviño, proposed the construction of Houston's first full-time Spanish-language outlet; previously, KRIV, an English-language independent, had carried some Spanish programming from the Spanish International Network, Univision's predecessor, or adjacent to prime time. The bid had initially been prepared because SIN was interested in a station in the market and had approached local Hispanics to put together an application. The other applicant was Texas 45 Broadcasting, a subsidiary of Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting. The comparative hearings ended up examining Weigel's bid, more specifically issues added as to whether Weigel had misrepresented the coverage area of its only TV station, WCIU-TV, on maps it gave to prospective advertisers. In 1984, administrative law judge Edward Luton found Weigel qualified to be a licensee but also gave Pueblo the nod based on its lack of substantive
