I tried it on a on TeXShop .tex file and here is what I get:

Loon:~/Desktop/Stuff for Gary/Research Interests gray$ mdimport -d3  
Research-Interests.tex

     kMDItemContentCreationDate = 2005-11-12 15:11:49 -0500;
     kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2005-12-04 20:58:03 -0500;
     kMDItemContentType = "dyn.ah62d4um4ge81k3p2";
     kMDItemContentTypeTree = (
         "com.apple.traditional-mac-plain-text",
         "public.plain-text",
         "public.text",
         "public.data",
         "public.item",
         "public.content"
     );
     kMDItemDisplayName = {"" = "Research-Interests.tex"; };
     kMDItemKind = {"" = tex; };
}
