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 DPSstatesthat 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 go at once in a texas lic coach. Comments?? Wallace Craig 95 WLWB 42 Azle, Texas
