Back taxiing on RWY 13 is the quickest way to the hangar.

Often RWY 13 is IN USE if RWY 17R is being used and I'd never turn on RWY 13 unless specifically cleared. At the same time - I didn't think you should clear onto RWY 13 even if it wasn't being used without the same specific clearance.

To the point of the OP - I was asking a work colleague about stopping at KDWH yesterday and he told me about clearing the runway and ending up with his nose in the taxiway intersection. He didn't have the problems though with ground control in the scenario.

Update: Never mind the response to the exiting onto another runway. That was covered in the AIM 4-3-29 as well:

and in the JO 7100.65W CHG 1
