Use this link to check, it will end up showing the mailing date when they issue the new copy of your license with the Hazmat endorsement.

They send you a new license without the Hazmat endorsement but the new picture, after they complete the background check they send you a letter saying you are approved for Hazmat, and another license will arrive a week after the letter that shows Hazmat and the Hazmat expiration date.

Nothing like the waste of taxpayer money lol.

I always lie to them, check my wallet for my license and say "#### I left it at the shipper". It's a pain in the ### buying certain items (BEER!!) with a paper license.

Sorry if this thread has already been covered, but I just applied (let my haz expire years ago) so I thought I would add info.
-This only applies to Texas
1) Apply in person at DPS license office, prepare to wait an eternity to talk to someone. You must have your passport or a stamped birth certificate to apply!
2) Smile for your picture!
3) Pay 11$ to take the Hazmat test. It is 30 questions, multiple choice, must get 24 questions out of 30 correct to pass. You get 2 additional free retries within 90 days if needed, just can't take the test more than once per day.
4) When you pass they cut your license, print you off a paper license, and give you the info you need to setup for fingerprinting.
5) Fibgerprints are done through Identogo, I lucked out and had a location 2 miles from my house! Setup your appointment online, I was able to get an appt the next day.
6) When you arrive @ Identogo bring your temp paper license, and give them your dl#/ss#/dob. It literally takes less than 5 min to get your prints done. At this point you pay the background check fee of 73.75$, or 75.30$ if paying by debit/credit card.
7) Background check should be complete within a few weeks, new license with endorsement should arrive within 30 days. If it doesn't contact Identigo BEFORE dps.

So all in total cost in Texas is 86.30$
This information is correct as of July 7th 2016
