license (CDL) skills exams required by Texas Transportation Code, §522.022
for applicants who meet the conditions and limitations provided by
49 CFR 383.77. The Application for Military Knowledge and/or Skills
Test Waiver must be completed by the applicant and signed by the appropriate
authorized military representative. The signatures on the certification
must be original signatures.
(b) Applicants who hold a valid CDL from another U.S.
state will not be required to take any knowledge or skills exams when
making an application for an original Texas CDL of the same class
and with the same restrictions or endorsements excluding the hazardous
materials endorsement.
(c) Any waiver to substitute experience for the CDL
skills exam may only be claimed one time. Any later transaction including
advance in grade, removal of restrictions, or addition of an endorsement
will necessitate a skills exam if required by law or regulation.
