In this study, we define a timelike tube around a spacelike curve with timelike binormal by taking Darboux frame instead of Frenet frame in Minkowski 3-space  QUOTE  . Subsequently, we compute the Gaussian curvature, the mean curvature, and the second Gaussian curvature of timelike tube with Darboux frame and obtained some characterizations for special curves on this timelike tube around a spacelike curve with timelike binormal.   Key words: Darboux frame, tube surface, Minkowski space-time, mean and gaussian curvatures, second gaussian curvature, asymptotic and geodesic curves, line of curvature.
