Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into several trucking schools across Texas, accusing them of putting public safety at risk. The Texas Attorney General's Office has issued Civil Investigative Demands to multiple companies, including CDLCALL.COM LLC in the Houston area, EP Texas Trucking School, and others. Preliminary findings suggest some schools may be ignoring federal regulations, including English proficiency requirements for commercial driver's license holders. Some programs are advertising accelerated training timelines as short as 20 days, raising concerns about proper instruction. Officials say these practices could violate the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and pose a danger to drivers statewide. Graduates of these schools often work in major freight hubs, including Houston.
