no CDL rules like that in Texas....all that is required (but rarely enforced) is the Class B (air brake) endorsement.

I've been stopped TWICE (by curious Texas Rangers) who used the lack of a front license plate as their probable cause....and not one word was mentioned about endorsements, weights or other requirements.

One of the stops was by a younger (new) officer who had is boss (sergeant) along for the ride/training...we talked about LOTS of stuff - and not once was a CDL, weights or endorsements mentioned.
