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 new federal requirements aimed at enforcing English proficiency among commercial drivers. Governor Greg Abbott instructed the DPS to comply with these federal guidelines, which were updated in May 2025. The decision is part of a broader effort to regulate immigrant drivers in Texas, which has included halting CDL issuance to refugees and DACA recipients. Critics argue that these changes could impact safety and the economy.
