My question is has anyone takien a road test to add an endorsement onto a current CDL that had no restrictions resulted ina restriction to be added after that test? I hold a class A CDL and took a road test to add a passenger and school bus endorsement. I had no restrictions specifically no E restriction meaning I couldn't drive a manual transmission. Because the bus I tested in was an automatic after receiving my license back with said endorsements it also came with an E restriction. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I contacted Texas DPS and they said the only way I can get it removed is to retake a road test in a manual transmission. I just don't understand how taking a road test to add endorsements to a current CDL with no E restriction can somehow result in them applying one to my license. Is this wrong? Thanks

I’ve heard of this happening, doesn’t make any sense to me either.
@ZVar might have the answer. -
As for advice to the op. Make DPS cite the law that requires an E restriction when adding P endorsement. Don't really have anything better.Kyle G. Thanks this. -
ZVar Thanks this.

I think it’s just a case of human stupidity. Dumb desk clerk thinks he or she automatically has to put the restriction on there so they do it without even thinking.
ibcalm19, Aamcotrans and ZVar Thank this. -
I had an unrestricted Class A CDL & decided to jump ship to drive school bus for a couple of years.
After taking the skills and road test for the Passenger and School Bus endorsements in an automatic school bus, I now have a "M" restriction on my CDL, which is no Class A Bus.Kyle G. Thanks this.
