Yesterday while I was at the DPS office to renew my CDL I asked about motorhome licensing requirements. The supervisor told me that TX has been lax for years on this topic but are now starting to enforce. If you drive a motorhome in TX (no weight was mentioned) you need to have a Class B, Non-Commercial license. This is different from the Class B CDL. The CDL is $61 for five years where as the Class B NCDL is $16 for four years.
If you are e TX resident and own a MH you might want to check with the DPS.
This is not an opinion, just a relaying of the information as told to me by this DPS employee.
Did the supervisor tell you how the Texas DPS was going to enforce this law (like start pulling over RV's on the Hwy's.)?In Washington State there is no requirements (special license to drive any type of RV) What happens to us when we get pulled over in Texas? This whole RV license thing sounds like a $$$ scam to me. If there really worried about safety all RVers should have a health card! It's scary to think about people driving vehicles with high blood pressure, congestive heart failure etc. JMHO
