is on a small number of chapters in the CDL book and they tell you what chapters
to study. Mostly lengths, lights, weights and things like that. Then I took
about a two mile road test with a DPS officer in the Bluebird. His parting
words were "Did you notice I didn't ask you how you got it here without a
license". I real nice officer.

lot of advise on this forum that I had not read the law correctly. I also had
people tell me that I should just take a chance and not bother to get a correct
license. I did not follow all that free advise and went ahead took the test and
got my no restriction class B license My present license is good until 2013 and
if I am still driving a coach I will get it renewed.

purports to set forth that motorhomes weighing in excess of 26,000 requires that
the operator have a Texas Class B noncommercial license. It requires a written
and driving test and cost $10. Normally, one might entertain the idea of simply
taking ones chances; however I am concerned about the legal ramifications on
ones libality insurance coverage. I can imagine that an insurance carried would
take the position that the vehicle was being operated without a proper license
and that such is a violation of the policy terms and would void the policy. I
am unaware of the case law (if any) in Texas on this issue but would not care to
test the law with the insurance carrier in case of an accident. A spokesperson
for the Texas DPS   states that the test must be in the class vehicle they would
like to drive. Ernie, this may mean that several of us need to get together an
