Estimated Appointment Duration
45-60 minutes at the DPS office for commercial driver's license (cdl)
A Texas Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is required to operate commercial motor vehicles such as tractor-trailers, buses, and large trucks. The CDL process involves passing a DOT medical examination, written CDL knowledge tests specific to your vehicle class (Class A, B, or C), and a CDL skills test that includes a pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control, and an on-road driving test. You must already hold a valid Texas driver's license before applying for a CDL. Texas CDL holders must be at least 18 for intrastate driving or 21 for interstate driving. The appointment at DPS is for the testing portion and typically takes 45-60 minutes. Additional endorsements (Hazmat, Tanker, Passenger, etc.) require separate written tests.
