flag Texas suspends CDL issuance for DACA recipients, refugees, and asylees over immigration compliance.

flag Texas has suspended the issuance, renewal, and reissuance of commercial driver licenses and learner permits for DACA recipients, refugees, and asylees, effective immediately, following a federal emergency rule. flag The move, prompted by a nationwide audit revealing widespread licensing to individuals without legal status, restricts CDL eligibility to those with employment-based visas and valid federal immigration checks. flag Texas is enforcing a stricter policy than federal guidelines by excluding refugees, asylees, and DACA recipients entirely. flag Pending applications are halted, and testing services are suspended. flag The state also began requiring English proficiency reviews for commercial drivers under a directive from Governor Abbott. flag The Texas Department of Public Safety says services will resume once federal compliance is achieved.
