Texas non-CDL Class B license

Executive wrote:
Rick, DL-7C applies ONLY to commercial drivers licensing. Are you saying to get a NON Commercial Class B drivers license the requirements are the SAME? It appears all the info contained in the DL-7C document applies only to the CDL. Going to the Texas website and downloading the documents for a REGULAR Class A,B, C or M DL does not indicate the same qualifying documents and procedures you've outlined.

I'm curious as we have some friends who are going full time soon and have narrowed their resident state choices to South Dakota and Texas. South Dakota has no such requirements nor safety inspections. Obviously, I don't want to pass on erroneous information.

Thanks for the post, but I want to make sure it's accurate. I couldn't verify this information via their website and the 7C document does not apply to regular Class B licensing. I appreciate your help...Dennis

Dennis,
Sorry for the tardy reply ... on page iv of the CDL handbook it says that "if the driver meets one or more of the citeria listed below, he will not be required to have a CDL. However, the driver will be required to have a Class A, B, or C non-CDL license." Then item 4 in that list indicates an RV for personal use.

The intent of my original post was not to tell people that they have to get a Class B license, it was to let them know how to obtain one, in Texas, if they decide to get one. It is obvious that there are a lot of expert opinions on this topic. I am trying to provide some practical information. ;-)
