Need help understanding the process for getting all my endorsements

Texas is its own animal for hazmat. But for TWIC google TSA or TWIC application. You can call the TSA appointment line select the TWIC option. The agent can tell you where the closest TSA facility doing TWIC is and schedule you an appointment for that facility. It is super easy I set up my appointment last week I go to Austin this Thursday to do the whole thing in person. The issue time they estimated to be 60 days after my application. The Twic application fee is currently $125.25 and due at the time of the application. I had one a long time ago the process isn't difficult just make your appointment time.

 

You can schedule the appointments for the HME and TWIC fingerprinting at the same time. It's stupid that you have to pay twice and have it done twice, but that's the way it is.

 

It was 1995... I don't remember back that far! What's a TWIC card?

 

I just got my hazmat and tanker here in Wisconsin. Went and took the tests and passed both. They gave me a form with info on how to schedule an appointment for my fingerprints. She told me once the background check comes back they send you the license in the mail with the hazmat endorsement on it.

On the wisconsin dot site I could punch in my info on my driver's license and go through and interactive licensing guide where I told them what I wanted to do and it gave me step by step directions on what I needed to do and what forms I needed

 

Did my twic separate but a reup for my DL and hazmat was literally I day before my 90 day temporary credentials expired.
Love the TSA...

 

As far as getting a TWIC , wait until you hire on to a company. Normally they will foot the bill(most will make you pay the cost back if you quit within a certain time frame) and help you get it. Most ports and refineries require the card.
