Texas RV Class B license

More and more states are coming in with the standardized driving laws. Don't know if it makes us any safer out there. Test isn't that difficult. Probabably the majority of RVers on the forum could pass it without any extra effort. Few things like how many feet out to set flares etc may be a guess unless you read through the book.

I think the supervisor needs some training. The class of license depends on the weight ratings as per the statute noted above.

Under 26,001 pounds, my Class C Texas License is legal until or if the Law changes. Or, if it does, being full-time now, I will find a no /low income Tax State with no additional licensing hassles and expense.

The info starts on page 3 and list the weights and cost of the license.. I think they're actually $25 for 6 years.
