Texas CDL Class A Practice Test 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

As a commercial driver in Texas, you’ll face a unique set of challenges and conditions. In metropolitan areas like Houston and Austin, you’ll be stuck in a lot of traffic. Driving a heavy truck here is a challenge you must learn how to overcome. Patience is key in this field, and there is no room for mistakes. When you’re behind the wheel of a heavy 18-wheeler, you must prioritize safety at all times. The rural areas of Texas present a different experience. While roads are less crowded, drivers must be aware of the considerable distances between service stations. At the beginning of your shift, you must plan your route and consider potential hazards that may exist along the way.

Driving is a skill that can only be improved with practice. You’ll gain experience as you spend more time on the road, but before you can haul doubles across the Lone Star State, you must first master commercial driving theory. The official Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Handbook (Texas CDL Handbook 2025) is a comprehensive guide published by the Department of Public Safety (DMV). You should read its contents multiple times, and when you’re ready, use our practice tests to evaluate your knowledge.

Our Texas CDL Class A Practice Test closely reflects the content and format of the official general knowledge exam, helping you get a feel for what to expect on exam day. There are 142 multiple-choice questions, which you can answer at your own pace. For your convenience, we have omitted any timer from this practice test to allow you to carefully review each question before you select an answer. If you make a mistake, we will point it out as soon as it occurs. A detailed explanation of the correct answer will show why your choice was wrong and help you learn from your mistake.

Becoming a safe and responsible commercial driver takes time and effort. The licensing process can be difficult for beginners, but our practice tests help you master the theory and ace the official knowledge tests on your first attempt.
