Narrative:

I was vectored approximately 8-10 miles west of dfw at an assigned altitude of 3500 feet and a specific heading. I complied with given heading and altitude. A few minutes after cruise was established I noticed a white drone directly in front of us. It came at us at an angle. It proceeded to fly right past my left wingtip at a horizontal distance of approximately 50-100 feet. There was no vertical separation. I did not have time to take evasive action because by the time I saw it; it was too late. After the near miss I called the approach controller and told him of the incident and gave a description of the drone. It was white; 4 propeller; square body with a camera mounted underneath.
