Texas driving requirement for motor homes

[George Lowry]

Wallace,

When I did my research, I found that a "Commercial" Drivers license is
not required, however, they did require a Class B license for anything
that weighed over 26,000 lb. That was one of the determining factors
as to why we went to SD.

for commercial operator license. Section 555.004 (4) specifically excludes from
CDL the driver of a recreational vehicle; in the same section RV is said to mean
a motor home, along with trailers,etc. meant for temporary occupancy as a home.

license offices do not know this.
