The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will give commercial driver license (CDL) knowledge tests only in English while banning interpreters, effective immediately, the agency said in a statement. The new policy aligns with that of President Donald Trump\u2019s Department of Transportation (DOT) to \u201censure that all newly licensed commercial drivers have the communication skills necessary to operate these vehicles safely on Texas roads,\u201d according to the statement.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced in May 2025 that he was bringing back the federal government\u2019s English language proficiency requirements for CDLs, reversing an Obama-era policy.<\/p>\n

Texas\u2019 new knowledge tests add to its existing rules that already require an English-only hands-on CDL test, the DPS said. Additionally, \u201cDPS personnel on Texas roads, along with other certified commercial vehicle inspectors, will continue to conduct English language proficiency evaluations during routine traffic stops and at weigh stations,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThese evaluations are a critical measure to ensure drivers possess the necessary communication skills for on-road safety and compliance with federal regulations, and any commercial vehicle driver who does not meet the proficiency standard will be placed out of service,\u201d the DPS said.<\/p>\n

Deadly truck crashes linked to migrant CDL drivers over the past year have heightened concerns about the danger that lax restrictions can cause for American roads. Texas, America\u2019s second biggest state by population, had nearly 724,000 active CDL drivers as of April, The Texas Tribune reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these actions, and others like them, are part of the department\u2019s continued efforts to make roads safer across the state and nation,\u201d the Texas DPS said.<\/p>\n
