Notes on getting and keeping a Texas license
Short pieces on the rules that changed recently, the ones that are commonly misstated, and the handful that contradict each other.
What this is
Every requirement here is cited to the statute or the rule that creates it, with the date we read it. Where a rule is genuinely unsettled, the post says which parts are settled and which are not.
August 2026
What is next
9 more pieces are written and waiting
The next one goes up on August 2026 31. They arrive about one a week.
These are drafted well before their date so that each one can be read against the statute or rule it describes before anybody else reads it. Texas licensing rules move, and a piece written the morning it publishes is a piece nobody checked.
