We observed the field of GRB 191011A (Laha et al., GCN Circ. 25988) with the
Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m
Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional on Sierra San
Pedro M��rtir from 2019/10 11.26 to 2019/10 11.48 UTC (1.60 to 6.94 hours after
the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 1.64 hours exposure in the i band and
0.49 hours exposure in the Z, Y, J, and H bands.

For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the USNO-B1
and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following detections and upper limits
(3-sigma):

  i	= 21.59 +/- 0.13
  Z	= 21.22 +/- 0.21
  Y	> 21.76
  J	> 19.81
  H	> 20.54

These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional in San Pedro 
M��rtir.
