Do I preclear at MTY or clear customs at DFW?
I would leave at 7:30 probably. Allow up to an hour to get there. Tell your taxi driver to take the toll road if you want to be safer to avoid a traffic jam - just be prepared to pay the toll (it's like $3 or something).

Getting to the airport an hour before your flight is plenty at MTY, but the traffic can be ugly. MTY remains the only flight I have missed in the past 5 years - and it was because of traffic, though that was before the toll road opened.
