What the Texas CDL Skills Test Involves
The Texas CDL skills test is administered by Texas DPS and generally consists of three parts. Verify the current structure with Texas DPS for your specific license class, endorsements, and test location before scheduling.
- Pre-Trip Vehicle Inspection: You must demonstrate knowledge of the vehicle systems and identify any defects before driving. This is assessed verbally and visually.
- Basic Control Skills (BCS): The BCS test evaluates your ability to maneuver the vehicle in a controlled area. Exact maneuvers administered at Wichita Falls should be verified with Texas DPS — do not rely on third-party descriptions of the specific test configuration.
- Road Test: You drive on public roads with a DPS examiner evaluating observation habits, lane positioning, turning technique, speed management, and overall safety.
This is a general description. Texas DPS controls all test procedures, scoring, maneuver specifications, and pass/fail decisions. Requirements may change. Always verify current requirements directly with Texas DPS.
