(By the way, don’t confuse the classes of Texas driver’s licenses with “classes” of RVs. Your vehicle’s actual weight (gross vehicle weight or GVW) does not matter. The last column shows the class of license you will need.īe aware that all the regulations use GVWR, which is the maximum weight for which the vehicle is rated.

(see item 4 under “CDL Exemptions”) For this reason, their special licenses are often called “Class A (or B) Exempt” or “Class A (or B) non-CDL” to distinguish them from both CDLs and the regular Class C driver license used for regular passenger automobiles. Texas operators of RVs for personal use, regardless of weight, are exempt from CDL requirements. Because these license class definitions are the same for both commercially- and privately-operated vehicles, some RVers mistakenly think that they need a commercial driver’s license (CDL) if their rig falls into the A or B classes. Texas defines three driver’s license classes-A, B and C-based on the weight of the vehicle, including anything it’s towing.
