Commercial drivers need a CDL from Texas DPS. Since 2022, first-time applicants must complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) through a provider on the federal FMCSA registry — every legitimate school can show you its registry listing.
Ask every school the same five questions and compare answers in writing: total cost including fees and tools; program length in weeks and clock hours; schedule options; completion rate and where that number comes from; and what happens in the first week after you request information. A school that answers fast and in writing usually runs its training the same way.
