Getting your CDL in Texas means working with the Texas Department of Public Safety (TX DPS). The federal FMCSA ELDT mandate is the online training piece — and DLA Academy has the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved courses available. Individual ELDT courses run $20 each; bundles range $30–$50 and save you money vs. buying separately.

Texas ELDT Pricing — Every Course, Every Bundle

Every individual FMCSA-approved ELDT course on DLA Academy is $20 flat in Texas — no discounts, no surge pricing, no surprise fees. Bundles save money when you're stacking endorsements:

Hazmat ELDT — $20 (H endorsement, theory only)
CDL-A Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider)
CDL-B Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately)
School Bus ELDT — $20 (S endorsement)
Passenger ELDT — $20 (P endorsement)
CDL-A Permit Prep — $15 (DMV practice questions — not ELDT, paired study aid)
Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle — $30 (Hazmat ELDT + Permit Prep, saves $5)
CDL Complete Bundle — $45 (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep, saves $10)
3-Endorsement Bundle (H + P + S) — $50 (saves $10 vs. buying each separately)

The Bundle Math — Every Bundle Saves You Money

All three bundles are genuine discounts off buying the components individually. The math:

3-Endorsement Bundle ($50): Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus ELDT. Individual price: $20 × 3 = $60. Saves $10. Worth it if you're adding all three endorsements.
CDL Complete Bundle ($45): CDL-A Theory ELDT + CDL-B Theory ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep. Individual price: $20 + $20 + $15 = $55. Saves $10. The full Class A journey — both theory courses for the skills test plus 119 DMV practice questions for the permit test.
Hazmat + DMV Test Prep ($30): Hazmat ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep. Individual price: $20 + $15 = $35. Saves $5. Worth it if you're studying for both the Hazmat ELDT and the DMV knowledge test at once.

Whatever you pick, Texas Department of Public Safety (TX DPS) verifies your ELDT completion through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry — DLA Academy auto-submits within 24 hours of completion.

How DLA Academy Compares to Other ELDT Providers

Other FMCSA-approved ELDT providers typically charge $23–$75 per course. DLA Academy is consistently the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option — same regulatory coverage (Appendix A to Part 380), same auto-submission to the FMCSA TPR, same 49-state acceptance. The difference is the price tag and the user experience: under 2 hours, mobile-friendly, no hidden fees, no upsells during checkout.

What's the same at every approved provider: the curriculum (set by FMCSA), the registration with the federal TPR, and the legal weight of the completion. What's different: pricing, course length, and how aggressive the upsells are.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does ELDT cost at DLA Academy?+

Individual ELDT courses are $20 each: CDL-A Theory, CDL-B Theory, Hazmat, School Bus, or Passenger. CDL-A Permit Prep (a DMV practice-test study tool, not ELDT) is $15. Bundles — CDL Complete ($45), 3-Endorsement ($50), or Hazmat + Test Prep ($30) — are genuine discounts vs. buying components one by one. DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option on the market.

What does the $20 ELDT course NOT include?+

DLA's $20 ELDT courses cover federal theory training only — the online portion mandated by the FMCSA. They do NOT include behind-the-wheel (BTW) training, which you arrange separately with a local FMCSA-registered provider in Texas. They do NOT include the DMV knowledge test (that's the CLP test you take at a TX DPS office), the TSA Hazmat fingerprinting fee (if pursuing the H endorsement), or the CDL skills test itself. ELDT is one piece of the CDL puzzle; the other pieces have separate costs.

How much will I spend total to get a CDL in Texas?+

DLA's portion is $20–$50 depending on which courses you need. Add the cost of BTW at a local provider (typically $500–$2,000 in Texas), the CDL skills test fee ($50–$100), the TSA Hazmat fingerprinting ($85 if pursuing the H endorsement), and any DMV/licensing fees from TX DPS. Most drivers spend $1,000–$3,000 total. DLA Academy's ELDT costs are the smallest piece — and we're already the cheapest.

Can I save money with a bundle?+

Yes. The CDL Complete Bundle ($45) includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep — totaling $55 individually, so you save $10. The 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50) stacks Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus ELDT — normally $60 — and saves $10. The Hazmat + Test Prep Bundle ($30) pairs Hazmat ELDT with CDL-A Permit Prep, normally $35, for a $5 discount. All three bundles are genuine savings.

How do DLA's prices compare to other providers?+

Most FMCSA-approved ELDT providers charge $23–$75 per course. DLA Academy charges $20 per individual course — the floor of the market. We're not a discount service; we're the standard lowest-priced option. We're FMCSA-approved, FMCSA-registered, auto-submit to the Training Provider Registry within 24 hours, and have 3,000+ graduates with a 5.0 Google rating.
