Tensor-polarized twist-3 parton distribution functions (PDFs) fLT(x)f_{LT}(x) are calculated for the spin-1 deuteron by using twist-2 relations, which are similar to the Wandzura-Wilczek relation and the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule in the spin-1/2 nucleon, together with tensor-polarized twist-2 PDFs f1LL(x)f_{1LL}(x). The PDFs are shown for fLT(x)f_{LT}(x) at Q2=2.5Q^2 =2.5 GeV2^2, where the tensor-polarized PDFs f1LL(x)f_{1LL}(x) are provided. The xx-dependence of fLT(x)f_{LT}(x) is similar to f1LL(x)f_{1LL}(x), and the
