XERV-TDT (channel 9) is a television station located in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, whose over-the-air signal also covers the Rio Grande Valley across the international border in the United States. The station is owned by Grupo Televisa, carrying its Las Estrellas network.

The station broadcasts local programming and news centered on the Rio Grande Valley instead of Reynosa and Matamoros. Local programming included selected games (mainly Saturday contests) of the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees ice hockey team. The games were announced in English, while the commercials during the game were in Spanish. XERV also shares an office with XHAB-TDT in McAllen, Texas, for the sale of commercial time from American businesses. The station's license was granted during 1978.
