Testing for Texas non-commercial class A driver's license
I want to pass along some information for those of you who might read this thread. Home base for us is near Beaumont, Tx and we were recently in New Mexico coming back from Alaska. My son suggested I try to get my testing squared away on the way home in Ft. Stockton Tx, which is what a friend's parents had done rather than trying to deal with a larger DMV. I called them and they actually knew what a non-commercial class a driver's license was (which is more than I can say for a lot of places), they gave me the study material and said just call when I came through and they would set up the driving test immediately after I passed the written. They did say I would have to parallel park.
Anyway, we pulled into WM (which is next to the DMV in Ft Stockton) last Sunday to spend the night. The next morning I went over to the DMV signed up and took the written test which was followed immediately by the driving test. The whole process took about 2 hours. The good part is the parallel parking testing area is the same area they use for tractor trailers and you have about a hundred feet to parallel park in.
The people there are very nice and the process was seamless.
