No,you have to have a class a licensed driver with you when towing. While waiting to take test,the tester told me to move truck and trailer to a different spot because I was blocking area for auto testing,I moved rig and backed in the spot where she told me to, while she watched,she said if I would have moved rig without a licensed class a in with me I would have failed!She also told me the state police are starting to check rver's for proper license and weight class. Just study the manual and you won't have any problems.I was getting ready to take a 4 week trip out west and glad I took care of this before we left.

Another question for you, Gary. You happen to know if they checked your GCWR?

I assume you have to take the test with a truck and trailer combo that would exceed 26,001lbs when added up together, as per the stickers on the vehicles.

My truck plus my 5er would equal 30,850lbs adding them together (14k GVWR for truck plus 16.8k GVWR for 5er).

But, if they check the manual for my truck, I'd technically be exceeding the GCWR of 23,500lbs.

Actual combined GVW would be south of that, but GCWR would exceed it.

Planning on buying a new truck this summer, but wanting to take the test before then.

Maybe a moot question since having a license would be irrelevant should I have an incident and be exceeding published GCWR...

When I did my Texas A the tester did look at my wieght rating stickers to make sure combo GVWR was over 26000.
OP said hard to find Tx test site, just go to TxDPS website & all the sites listed. When. I did mine all test sites did the class A non-commercial.
Probably only 20 % of RVers have the correct license ,just a wag. IMHO dealers won't tell a prospect that an upgrade to DL needed cause they wouldn't buy.
