Reviewing sample Texas CDL test questions can help you feel more prepared to earn your commercial drivers license.

The Texas commercial driver license exam is a series of multiple-choice and true or false questions. You must answer 80 percent of the questions correctly in order to pass the test.

Sample Texas CDL Questions

The following are a few examples of the types of questions you might expect to find on your written CDL test.

Finding Practice Test Questions

An aspiring commercial driver has several different sources to turn to when looking for practice test questions for the CDL written test. For example:

• The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) publishes a manual for commercial drivers that contains study information and CDL practice test questions.
• Other state DMV websites contain practice tests for the CDL exam that will have similar questions to what you can expect to find on the Texas test.
• Schools for training commercial drivers have practice test questions available as part of their curriculum.
• Third-party websites offer tests for the written CDL exam and specialized endorsements, although there is often a fee to access all of the test material.

When looking for CDL practice exam questions to help you study for your Texas commercial license, remember that each endorsement you wish to add will require a separate test in addition to the standard CDL exam. For example, there are separate tests needed for driving a school bus or hauling hazardous materials.

Practicing for the Road Test

In addition to the written test, you must complete a driving test in the CDL class of vehicle you wish to be licensed for. The best way to study for your CDL road test is to practice your driving under the supervision of a qualified instructor.

Appointments

No appointment is necessary to take the TX CDL tests, but you should be aware that not all DPS locations offer this road test. In addition, you will need to provide your own vehicle for the driving test.
