TX CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

To become a commercial driver in Texas, you must be at least 18 to drive within the state and at least 21 to drive across state lines. You must provide your Social Security number and show proof of U.S. citizenship when you submit your application. Additionally, you must hold a valid Texas driver’s license, pay the license fee, and pass a physical examination. Commercial driving involves great responsibility, and that’s why the Department of Public Safety (DMV) is so strict with the licensing process.

All applicants are required to pass a 50-question CDL General Knowledge exam before they can obtain a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). You will also need to pass additional written knowledge tests and perhaps skills tests to obtain endorsements for specific types of cargo or vehicles, such as hazardous materials, tank vehicles, or passenger vehicles.

The official Texas commercial motor vehicle driver’s handbook (Texas CDL Handbook 2025) discusses the various aspects of commercial driving. Please read its contents at least once to familiarize yourself with this subject. This knowledge shapes your future career, so you should take as long as you need to master it.
