Paris drivers can compare a DPS skills appointment on Bonham Street with a separate Royse City familiarization reservation. Use the vehicle guide below to compare equipment with your intended work.

Which ELDT do I need?

For a first Class A or B CDL, a B-to-A upgrade, or a first passenger or school bus endorsement, covered applicants need both theory and behind-the-wheel training. A first hazardous materials endorsement requires ELDT theory before the knowledge exam.

Where do I practice and test?

You can study online with ELDT Theory Now from Paris. Get Your CDL Quick schedules vehicle familiarization in Royse City. The examiner conducts the inspection, basic control skills and road test at the location in your DPS confirmation.
