Your post regarding the requirement for a Texas Non Commercial Class B license for a vehicle with a GVWR over 26001# sure seems clear and certainly is as detailed in the attached Texas driving handbook requirements in your post for a vehicle with a GVWR over 26001#.
My wife and I were made aware of this Texas license requirement at a Fleetwood Discovery MH owners club meeting and on their DOAI web site forum. Our experiences regarding this are in an article in the latest FMCA magazine. I'm surprised at the reluctance for some to accept this license requirement as the law. I recently found out that it's been the law since 1999 in Texas. A good friend of ours was rear ended by a college student in San Marcus , TX in their Discovery DP MH and the officers first request was to see his Class B license even though he was completely not at fault for the incident. I've also heard at a FCRV rally that some insurance companies may deny coverage to us if we do not have the proper license to be operating our MH's. If you think that insurance companies may not do this just ask some of our friends along the path of recent hurricanes regarding what their insurance companies do regarding crossing the "T's" and dotting the "I's"when the loss is significant. I'm also aware thet you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. Please check fellow FMCA members before the need.
