CDL Division of Texas Department of Public Safety Slated for TPGA Convention

The Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Division of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will present a special session during the Regulatory Training Forum on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at the 2025 Crossroads Propane Expo & Conference. This session qualifies for continuing education (CE) credit through the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC).

For nearly a decade, the Texas Propane Gas Association (TPGA) has proudly partnered with the RRC to provide propane marketers with unique CE opportunities that go beyond traditional coursework offered by the Commission. This year’s CE session brings valuable insights directly from the agency responsible for CDL licensing and compliance in Texas, along with updates from both state and federal regulators.

During the session, DPS will cover recent changes to driver medical certification requirements, including integration with the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME). Attendees will also receive important guidance on FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse regulations and the drug and alcohol testing responsibilities of commercial driver employers.

In addition to the CE session, DPS representatives will be available on the expo floor on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., to answer attendee questions on CDL-related topics, including medical cards, certification renewals, and CDL skills testing appointments.
