Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Handbook Section 4

Study Texas handbook Section 4 for bus inspection, emergency exits, baggage, hazardous-material limits, standees, passenger supervision, bus stops, curves, railroad crossings, drawbridges, after-trip reports, fueling, disabled-bus towing, and brake-door interlocks. Texas P applicants also need Section 2, Section 5 when using air brakes, CLP/ELDT compliance when applicable, and a representative passenger vehicle for skills testing. Texas and FMCSA use an 80% knowledge-test passing standard, while Texas does not publish a fixed Passenger endorsement question count or time limit.

Try these sample questions to test your Texas CDL Passenger exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 200+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which Texas commercial driver needs a Passenger (P) endorsement?
A.A driver operating a CMV designed to carry 16 or more people, including the driver
B.A driver carrying any number of family members in a personal vehicle
C.A driver operating only a tank vehicle with no passengers
D.A driver pulling double trailers without passengers
Explanation: Texas CDL materials describe the P endorsement for drivers who wish to drive a vehicle with design capacity to carry 16 or more people, including the driver. That is the passenger-transport endorsement, separate from tank, hazmat, or doubles/triples authority.
2What handbook sections does Texas identify for the Passenger endorsement knowledge test?
A.Sections 2 and 4, plus Section 5 if the bus has air brakes
B.Only Section 4 because it is the passenger section
C.Sections 6 and 7 because buses are combination vehicles
D.Only Section 14 because it covers Texas-specific rules
Explanation: The Texas CMV Driver Handbook says Passenger endorsement applicants must pass a knowledge test on Sections 2 and 4. If the bus has air brakes, the applicant must also pass a knowledge test on Section 5.
3On Texas DPS endorsement listings, what does code P authorize?
A.Operation of a vehicle transporting passengers
B.Transportation of hazardous material
C.Operation of a tank vehicle
D.Towing double or triple trailers
Explanation: Texas DPS lists endorsement code P as authorizing operation of a vehicle transporting passengers. H is hazmat, N is tank vehicle, and T is double/triple trailers.
4When adding a passenger endorsement to an existing Texas CDL, what CLP rule applies before the skills test?
A.You must obtain and hold a CLP for at least 14 days
B.You may skip the CLP if you already passed General Knowledge
C.You must hold the CLP for one full year
D.You only need a CLP if the bus has air brakes
Explanation: Texas DPS says drivers adding a passenger or school bus endorsement to an existing CDL must obtain and hold a CLP for at least 14 days before taking the driving test.
5What is true about a Texas CLP used for passenger-vehicle practice?
A.It is not valid without the base Texas driver license and cannot be used for identification
B.It replaces the base Texas driver license while training
C.It allows solo passenger service after dark
D.It is valid indefinitely once issued
Explanation: Texas CDL materials state that a CLP is not valid without the base Texas driver license and cannot be used for identification. It is a practice permit, not a stand-alone license or permanent credential.
6What restriction applies when a Texas CLP is issued with a Passenger (P) endorsement?
A.The CLP must also show no passengers in a CMV bus
B.The CLP holder may carry fare-paying passengers if supervised
C.The CLP holder is restricted only from school bus operation
D.The CLP automatically becomes a full Passenger CDL after 14 days
Explanation: Texas handbook material says a CLP issued with a Passenger or School Bus endorsement must also contain the no passengers in a CMV bus restriction. Ordinary passenger service is not allowed on the CLP.
7What score is required to pass each Texas CDL knowledge-exam section?
A.80 percent or higher
B.70 percent or higher
C.A simple majority
D.100 percent
Explanation: The Texas CMV Driver Handbook states that the knowledge exams require a score of 80 percent or higher for each section. This is consistent with the federal CDL knowledge-test passing standard.
8In what order does Texas place the Passenger knowledge exam among CDL knowledge exams?
A.After Texas Commercial Rules, General Knowledge, and required class or equipment tests
B.Before Texas Commercial Rules
C.Only after the skills test
D.Only after HazMat testing
Explanation: Texas lists knowledge exams in order: Texas Commercial Rules, General Knowledge, required combination, air brakes, doubles/triples, then Passenger if required, followed by school bus, tanker, and hazmat when required.
9Before driving a bus, what should the driver do with the previous driver's inspection report?
A.Review it and sign only after reported defects are certified repaired or not needing repair
B.Sign it before checking whether listed defects were addressed
C.Ignore it unless the bus is used interstate
D.Discard it if the bus starts normally
Explanation: Texas handbook Section 4 says the driver must review the previous driver's inspection report. If earlier defects were reported, the driver should sign only after they have been certified repaired or not needing repair.
10Which set lists bus systems Texas says should be in good working order before driving?
A.Service brakes, parking brake, steering, lights, tires, horn, wipers, mirrors, wheels, and emergency equipment
B.Only engine oil, radio, and farebox
C.Only passenger seats and air conditioning
D.Only the rear tires and destination sign
Explanation: Section 4 lists multiple systems to check before driving, including brakes, steering, lights, tires, horn, wipers, mirrors, wheels and rims, and emergency equipment. Passenger safety depends on the whole vehicle being roadworthy.
