    dont really see why you need to have a TX DL for KLLM. long as it is a valid CDL-A that is all that should matter

    Well I'm guessing FFE will tell him the same thing as KLLM.

    The FFE/kllm school in texas can't take you without a Texas domicile. That's not their rule, but the state of Texas.
