foxnews.comTexas officials announced a new requirement that driver's license applicants must demonstrate English proficiency. The measure requires applicants to read and understand basic traffic signs and instructions in English. Officials stated the change will make roads safer across the state and nation.
Background on the Policy Current Texas law already requires applicants to pass a written test covering road rules and signs. The new tool adds an explicit language component to that process. State agencies will implement the requirement through existing driver's license offices.
No start date for enforcement was specified in the announcement. The policy applies to all new applicants and does not affect existing license holders.
