The reason it works for the Escapees RV group is because they use a physical address. Their address. Not a PO Box.
They do this for TX/FL and SD as @Chinatown said. Texas is their HQ location if I recall properly.
It works for a regular license for Texas, one would assume it would be the same for a CDL. Escapees will forward the mail on to you at whatever address. They do this for thousands of their members. An have for years now. They've been around awhile.
I know several folks who've done it because they decided to go full time in a rv. I know I've mentioned it before on here, long ago. Chinatown continues to mention it, and I just post about tacos now.
Good luck.

Can a UPS store box address be used to get a Tx drivers license?

USPS has had that capability since the mid 90's. I had to connect a University payroll system to the PostalSoft software once back in the day. Also, right at the beginning of the e-commerce boom private software companies had to develop very similar address discrimination software in order to calculate sales taxes. Tax rates can change just by crossing a street.tscottme and Sirscrapntruckalot Thank this.

Some states recognize that address and prohibit using it as a DL address. I don't know about Texas. Your friend can try renting a "mailbox" at a hotel/motel. My state wants a utility bill, (not a cellphone bill) in your name at the address you will use for DL. For CDL you can have a physical address and a mailing address, but to change either you must visit in person a DMV facility. 4-wheeler DLs can change their address online, not CDL in TN.

I checked with the Feds. As of now every state is compliant with Real ID. TN changed the proof they need when they became REAL ID complaint a few years ago. All states had to be compliant by early 2023, IIRC, but the last non-compliant state has already made the switch.blairandgretchen Thanks this.

it worked for me. ups store address. in nj i think some self storage places have address you can yse also if you can get mail there. some have some do not.
-
real id has nothing to do with state normal CDL. at least not here in PA. real id not required

I have a ups store mailbox and tx had put that address on my license so I don’t see it being an issue..it basically has physical address and such.

A better method would be to talk to a local motel. Ask them to use their address and a room number. Get a P.O box for the mailing address and just promise to use the motel when he is
Keep in mind the friend/family member has to go with the driver and bring their own 2 proofs of residence. After that they can certify the driver lives there. My wife has to go with me as I am on our lease, but gas water and electric are in her name so she has to certify we live together here in TX. -
What's PIA?
