37 Tex. Admin. Code § 15.40 - Application Fee
(a) After completion of
an original application for the type and class of license that the applicant
needs, it is necessary to collect the proper fee for the license requested. A
transaction service fee shall be added to each application fee collected as
provided by §
2054.1115(a)
Government Code. If it is determined during completion of the application forms
that the applicant is clearly ineligible for the immediate issuance of the
license sought (disqualified, suspended, denied, revoked, or "immediate hazard
under MAB considerations"), the fee will not be collected and the proper
explanation and instructions will be given to the applicant.
(b) The application fee shall be forfeited if
the applicant fails any single exam three times. Exam means vision, knowledge
(signs, rules, or automated), or skills (driving/road or pretrip) tests. If an
applicant fails the rules test two times and the signs test two times, his exam
fee is not forfeited. Even though he has failed four exams, he has failed each
individual test only two times. If he were to fail the signs tests two times
and the rules test three times, the fee will be forfeited because the rules
test was failed three times. The application fee shall also be forfeited if the
applicant has not been issued the license applied for on the 91st day after the
original date that the application and fee were accepted.
(c) When an original applicant, applying for
a commercial driver's license (CDL) fails to pass a test and decides to apply
for a non-CDL license, the applicant will be required to submit a new
application and the appropriate fee for the license he desires to obtain. The
CDL application may not be reduced to a non-CDL license. For this reason it is
suggested that all applicants for a CDL be encouraged to apply for a non-CDL
license. Upon issuance of the non-CDL license, the applicant must then apply
for the upgrade to the needed CDL license and will be given credit for each
full year that remains on the non-CDL license.
