Adding endorsements to my Class A license in Texas

The hazmat, you get finger printed for that. Cost money, get your TWIC card too. Can't be a criminal. No misdemeanors in the last 5 years.

 

You can have some offenses on your record that are not dis-qualifiers for the HazMat. If you have a clean record you will breeze through the process. Texas uses Identogo in my area to collect your finger prints and submit them to Homeland Security and FBI for your background check. The DL Office will give you their contact information so you can make an appointment with them (cost about $75.00). When the background is complete (about a week or two) you will be informed by mail to go back to the DL Office to take the written test.

 

You just walk inside a DPS office and take the 2 tests on a computer program. It’s multiple choice A, B, or C and that’s it. You have to pay like $22 I forgot for the test. Some DPS offices might make you schedule a test but that’s it. Then you have to pay to renew your license with the endorsements but don’t do it until after fingerprints.

 

To add endorsements you just take a test on computer at the Driver License Office, hey charge a fee for each endorsement. You can see ALL POSSIBLE questions on ALL ENDORSEMENTS at TruckerCountry.com/CDL.

HazMat is a multi-step process. Take the computer test, background check, fingerprints, fee to state, fee for fingerprints.
