Texas Licensing

I have no idea if I can find what Im looking for here, but I figured I'd ask those in the field.

Ive recently acquired a semi and trailer. This vehicle will do nothing more than accommodate me, my friends, and our toys.

Im trying to figure out what I need to do in the State of Texas to lawfully operate this vehicle and trailer. I will not be doing this for business/to make money.

Reading through DPS DL handbook they have a section breaking down the classification of the types of licenses and requirements. They then have another section for commercial licensing and requirements. To me it seems I can get a Class A license without the commercial endorsement, but our DPS gives me a confused look....

I have also heard of exemptions for people operating RVs and or moving personal property for non-commercial use. True?

Like I said, Im at a loss of where to begin or fact from fiction. For what it's worth, the vehicle is just a day cab tractor and 30ft trailer.

Thanks,

David

 

The truck does.

 

Yes it is.

 

Yeah, I know jack about it or them. We got it on payment for attorneys fees along with a 30ft low boy. Me and friends have heavy armored toys that we like playing with, but not all truckers are as accommodating to our schedule as our schedule/locals really isnt going to make them money.

The setup seems like it'll foot our bills for what we want to do around Texas, just seems like a huge PIA to do it how I'd prefer, but that isnt new.
