If you are going to become a TX resident then you will need a Class B license. Period. Nothing CDL based, just a standard drivers license with a Class B "add-on". .........
You need a standard class A license (non commercial)if the truck/trailer GCWR is over 26,000 lbs and the trailer GVWR is over 10,000 lbs. The class B license is only good if the trailer GVWR is 10,000 lbs or less.
From the handbook and state web site for class A license;
2. A vehicle or combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 lbs. or more, provided the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle(s) towed is in excess of 10,000 lbs.
And for class B;
2. A single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 lbs. or more and any such vehicle towing either a vehicle with a GVWR that does not exceed 10,000 lbs.
Since I am driving a 40,000# RV and the DMV says that's what's required for anyone driving an RV that weighs 26,001# or more I will stand by my post. You DO NOT need ANY kind of CDL to drive an RV for personal use.
