Transferring To Texas
Topic 9937 | Page 1
Does anyone have information about transferring a CDL from Louisiana to Texas. Process, costs, testing (Especially Hazmat), etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure it's similar to other states. Prices are probably different. For me to transfer a class B from Colorado to Mississippi was $85. 25 application fee, 55 for the 5 year cdl, and $5 for Passenger endorsement. Each endorsement is 5 bucks.
A quick google search and you will find your fees. I was feeling nice. :) You're welcome. https://www.txdps.state.tx.us/DriverLicense/fees.htm (link thingy isn't working)

- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
HAZMAT:
Hazardous Materials

It's 45.00 for transfer I believe and 11.00 for the endorsement tests. Not sure if they'll transfer but as long as it's not out of date they should that web site from previous response will get u more detailed answers
I assume it's because you're moving here? welcome to texas... now give us $90. that's a fee for new residents to pay within 30 days to get vehicles registered.
yes good ol texas we may not have state income tax taken out of your paycheck... but you'll still pay it in other ways and the new resident fee is one of them.
as far as transferring your cdl I'm not sure.
