About the Texas Special Requirements test

A standalone Texas exam at the federal 80% pass mark, which DPS requires you to pass before you sit the General Knowledge test. DPS does not publish a question count for it. Every question comes from Section 14 of the Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Handbook (DL-7C), which sets the size, weight, lighting and emergency equipment rules Texas adds on top of the federal regulations. Those are state law rather than FMCSA rules, so studying for General Knowledge does not cover them.
