TEXAS COMMERCIAL LEARNER PERMIT
Texas CLP preparation and knowledge-test topics
Prepare for the Texas commercial learner permit knowledge tests with focused study and practice. Choose the topics that apply to your license class, vehicle and endorsement goals. Texas DPS determines your testing requirements and licensing eligibility.
Main CLP knowledge-test study paths
For a Class A path, review Texas Commercial Vehicle Operation, General Knowledge, Air Brakes when applicable, and Combination Vehicles. A Class B path does not require Combination Vehicles; air-brake knowledge depends on the vehicle and applicable restriction requirements.

Endorsement preparation
Passenger, School Bus, HazMat, Tanker and Doubles/Triples involve additional knowledge topics according to the license and vehicle you intend to operate. Review the requirements for your own situation before choosing study access or booking a test.

Online practice on our website
Review each topic page for its practice-test format, passing score and published access price. Practice topics can be chosen individually and repeated, with shuffled questions and answers. Online practice is separate from the official Texas DPS knowledge examination and does not issue a permit or license.
CLP preparation is different from ELDT
A permit knowledge test, online ELDT theory, in-person ELDT behind-the-wheel range and public-road activity, and the Texas DPS skills test are distinct steps. Practice-test access and a truck rental do not by themselves satisfy required ELDT. Discuss your current permit, existing skills and theory arrangements before scheduling any driving activity.
