blctex, I think you misread the statement although I did say commercial license. I have a Class A Motorhome and to operate a Class A Motorhome over 26,000 lbs. in the State of Texas you must have a non-commerrical Class B which is similar testing to a commercial and requires a lot to keep it. In Florida they do not require a Class B.
Here is a good reference to follow: http://changingears.com/rv-sec-state-rv-license.shtml
In Texas anything Above 26,000 lb GVWR or GCWR (while towing > 10,000 lb) requires non-commercial Class A or B
Didn't misread anything a class a or class b does not mean it is commercial in texas it means you are licensed for that weight for your personal vehicle. A class a cdl is completly different for regulations. All I wanted to do was let readers know that a commercial license is not required in Texas but as you said a simple class a or class b depending on weight and brake type and other variables. They are easy to get after tests written and driving and then I believe just renewals after that. My CDL Class A with all endorsements, double/triples, passenger,motorcycle,combination,air brake,and hazmat(homeland securitybank ground check) for renewal every 5 years is hazmat test and background to keep that endorsement and pay my money to the state and keep physical current. Just trying to illustrate the differences between the two but bottom line is yes a license is needed to drive the larger class motorhome and as a Texan I am glad we do.
