75 mins before the first departure seems fairly tight to check in two planeloads worth of people. Even if only, say, 50% of pax are checking bags, that seems like a pretty short window, especially given that DFW's bag check cutoff is 45 mins before, rather than the standard 30 for domestic.
I'd have to imagine it's probably 3:30 am, at the latest.
