TxDPS - Hazardous Materials Endorsement

 

You have to go through the TSA screening. Once approved you go take the hazmat test. There is no driving test for a simple adding the endorsement.

 

Things have changed big time since 9-11 and continue to tighten and evolve every year.

I used to hold a Hazmat many years but today I would not touch the #### thing with a ten foot pole for what they are asking. It's not worth it.

I will know things have reached a tipping point when new babies are born in California and are tagged legal to emit breathing.

 

Cost/Process for Hazmat endorse in Texas
When I had retest(let it expire) for the endorsement in Dallas a few years back I had to test 1st.
I paid the fee to DPS and took the computer based Hazmat test, and they gave me the form for fingerprinting after taking a new license picture. Fingerprinting was done by an outside company called morphotrust, was about a 3 day wait to get an open appt slot. There were three locations in DFW if I remember correctly. Fingerprinting appt only takes 10 min. Once I was fingerprinted I received my updated license from Texas about 4 weeks later.

I just linked thread I started 2 years ago.
