Texas removes Spanish language option for commercial driver license tests
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Department of Public Safety has announced that all commercial driver license (CDL) tests will now be conducted exclusively in English, eliminating the previously available Spanish option. This change follows federal requirements aimed at enforcing English proficiency among commercial drivers, particularly in light of a crackdown on noncitizen truck drivers. Governor Greg Abbott instructed the DPS to enforce these new guidelines, which align with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's updated standards. The removal of the Spanish option is part of broader restrictions affecting immigrant drivers in Texas, including halting CDL issuance to refugees and DACA recipients.
