- Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
- Based on 2025 TX commercial driver's license manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for August 2025
Adding the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement to your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is a great way to expand your job opportunities and increase your earning potential! In Texas, you’ll experience a wide range of sights, from the steep grades and winding roads of Hill Country in central Texas to the arid deserts in West Texas. Additional challenges include the high summer temperatures, limited road infrastructure, the flooding and hurricanes that occasionally threaten the coastal plains, and urban congestion in cities like Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Transporting cargo in Texas comes with its set of challenges, but the rewards offered by this career and the additional opportunities available with the Hazmat endorsement make it very worthwhile.
In the Lone Star State, hazardous materials transported include petroleum products, chemicals used in the energy sector (sulfuric acid, ammonia), agricultural chemicals, and medical waste. The Hazmat endorsement allows drivers to transport these and other materials classified hazardous by the U.S. government, opening the door to specialized, and often higher-paying, jobs. Some notable organizations in Texas include ExxonMobil in Houston, Dow Chemical Company in Freeport, Valero Energy in San Antonio, and Sysco in Houston. These companies in the petrochemical and logistics sectors are just a few of the ones that require drivers with Hazmat endorsements.
Now that you’ve had a taste of the added benefits and opportunities, let’s dive into the process of obtaining the endorsement. It starts with a mandatory fingerprinting and background check conducted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Since results from TSA take weeks, do this right away and use the wait time to study and practice for the second step: the DMV knowledge test. This test covers federal regulations, substance handling, packaging, quantity limits, and transport configurations for hazardous materials. With a score of 80% on Texas’s 30-question knowledge test, you will pass the test (Texas CDL Handbook 2025).
The good news is we’ve simplified the preparation process for you. Our Texas DMV Hazmat Endorsement practice tests avoid unnecessary information and resemble what you will face on the official DMV test. With immediate feedback on each response to enhance understanding and retention, you’ll learn more efficiently. Once you receive your TSA results and feel prepared, you’ll visit the DMV with the necessary documents, pay the fees, and pass the test.
