Renew hazmat in Texas?

To renew your CDL hazmat endorsement you will receive a knowledge test authorization which will allow you to take the knowedge exam at a DPS license center.

After you pass the knowedge exam, which will have to be taken every time you renew your hazmat endorsement, you will then be given a fingerprint authorization and sent to a fingerprint location to have your prints taken and your TSA threat assessment renewed.

Once that is done, which can take from a few days up to several weeks, TX DPS will get a letter, you should get a copy as well, then you can renew your CDL and get your updated hard card (new license).

ELDT is not required to renew a hazmat endorsement, although the refresher knowedge doesn't hurt.

Bottom line, to renew your hazmat endorsement you will have to make at least one, often two or more, trips to the DPS licnese center. Hazmat cannot be renewed online per federal regulations.
