The short version: Get CDL Texas publishes guidance on CDL training, with a primary focus on Texas and additional state-specific resources as the site expands. We are not a CDL school, a regulator, or a licensing agency. We source from official state licensing agencies, FMCSA, and the schools’ own published program pages. We review pages every 90 days and update them when material changes occur.
This page explains how. For our compensation model, see our advertising disclosure.
Get CDL Texas is a free matching and referral service that connects prospective CDL students with CDL training schools, with Texas as our primary market and additional state-specific resources for selected states. We are not a CDL school, we do not provide CDL training, we do not issue licenses, and we are not affiliated with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), or any other state licensing agency.
The site is operated by a small team and exists to help students understand CDL training options, requirements, costs, and timelines in the states we cover — and to make it easier to find a school that fits their location, schedule, and goals.
We publish educational content about CDL licensing, training, costs, and careers, with Texas as our core market and state-specific coverage where we have built dedicated guides. We publish guidance on choosing a CDL school. We publish comparison guides for Texas metros that include named programs where appropriate.
We do not publish:
Our content draws primarily on the following sources, which we consider authoritative for Texas CDL information:
For non-Texas state pages, we use that state’s official licensing agency or DMV-equivalent source where available, plus FMCSA for federal CDL and ELDT requirements that apply nationally.
For interpretive guidance — for example, how to choose between a private school and a community college, or how to weigh schedule against cost — we publish in our own editorial voice and label it as such. We do not present interpretation as regulation.
Schools matched through Get CDL Texas are verified to be listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry at the time of partnership activation. This is the federal registry used for Entry-Level Driver Training providers in the United States.
We do not:
Before enrolling, students should independently verify each school’s current FMCSA TPR listing, the state-specific licensing or testing requirements that apply to their license path, total all-in cost in writing, schedule fit, and any specific program claims that matter to them. We provide guidance on how to do this on our best CDL schools in Texas guide.
We review pages on at least a 90-day cadence. We update pages off-cycle when material changes occur, including:
We update lastmod in our sitemap and dateModified in page schema only when content materially changes. We do not bump these values for inbound link changes, footer template updates, or whitespace edits. Dated “last reviewed” stamps on individual guides reflect the date the guide’s content was last verified, not the deploy date of an unrelated edit.
Get CDL Texas may be compensated by partner schools when a student enrolls through our matching service. Our compensation model is described in full in our advertising disclosure.
Compensation does not buy higher placement in our editorial content. Schools we mention by name in our best-schools and comparison guides are mentioned because they are well-known options in the relevant Texas metro — community colleges, established private schools, or carriers with public company-sponsored training programs — regardless of whether they are partners. When we name a school, we link to the school’s own program page so readers can evaluate the source directly.
We do not publish reviews, ratings, or aggregate scores. We do not pay for testimonials. We do not publish content marked as editorial that has been written or edited by a partner school.
If you find an error on any Get CDL Texas page — an out-of-date regulation, an incorrect tuition range, a closed school still listed, a broken link, anything — email us at info@getcdltexas.com. We review reported material errors promptly and aim to correct verified material errors within 7 business days, then update the page’s dateModified to reflect the correction.
If a correction changes a substantive claim, we note the correction at the bottom of the page along with the date.

This editorial policy is reviewed annually and updated when our sourcing, verification, or update standards change. Material changes are reflected in the lastmod value for this page in our sitemap.
