Texas Motorcycle License Law, courtesy RiderCourse Center


Effective September 1, 2009, the State of Texas requires the completion of a Basic Motorcycle Course to receive a class "M" endorsement on your license. If you move to Texas, and have an existing motorcycle operators license, the endorsement can be carried over, that is not a "new" license, it was an "existing" license. Scooters require a motorcycle operators license, there is no classification of scooter in the Texas law, if the vehicle is not included on the Texas approved moped listing.


There is no short cut, or alternative option at this time. It does not matter how much training, or riding experience you have, the completion of the 15 hour Basic Course course is the only option we have available at this time.


Remember, RiderCourse Center did not write the Motorcycle License or Scooter license law, it was voted into existence by a majority in the House and the Senate. Currently, we are seeking an alternate method to allow a rider to demonstrate their level of skill. It will be a while before that option is even viable.


Thanks

  1. What type of alternate method to allow a rider to demonstrate their level of skill,I think some sort of video training or physical test.
