When we lived in Texas, I had a Class B drivers license because my RV weighs more than 26,000 pounds. That required passing a written test and a driving test.When we moved to another state, they did not require or offer a similar license for driving our personal Motorhome because in this state, personal Motorhomes are exempt from the requirements for driving commercial vehicles.We plan to return to Texas for a wedding, and will be traveling in our RV.Am I legal driving our Motorhome in Texas with my home state license, or does Texas require me to have the Class B license again even though it's not available to me in my current state of residence unless I go through the entire commercial drivers license test, physical exam, etc?Where would I find this information in the Texas motor vehicle code?thanks :?

As long as your license is good to use in your home state that issued your license, then it's good in any other state. Canada will honor it also.Bill

I assume the MH is also licensed in your new home state? If so, you are legal to drive it in any state and Canada, Mexico. Only thing you need to worry about are speed laws.

Based on home state requirements.

Valid DLs issued to you in your state of residency is GOOD in every state in USA'Don't need no sticking papers'.....YET!

Google search... reciprocity of driver's license. Cannot post a link because the link has a percent sign in it.

In 37 years in Texas as a Motorhome Service Tech, I have never heard or had a customer get a ticket with just a standard Drivers License. Even when driving over 26k motorhomes. Doug

Just to keep from raising any red flags with the Law Enforcement folks I always keep my DL and my Vehicle tags and Insurance etc all with the same issue state.

Your driver's license does not have to be from the state that your motorhome/RV is licensed in.

My Dad had homes in 2 states but he was legally only allowed to have a driver's license in ONE state. He also had an RV in one of those states. His driver's license was from the other state where he resided part of the year. So his RV was licensed in one state and he was licensed to drive in another.

Also, I know numerous Canadians that have an RV licensed in FL and it never leaves FL, but they have a Canadian driver's license.
