Terms Used In Texas Transportation Code Chapter 523

• Affidavit: means a statement in writing of a fact or facts signed by the party making it, sworn to before an officer authorized to administer oaths, and officially certified to by the officer under his seal of office. See Texas Government Code 312.011
• Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.

• Department of Public Safety: means the Department of Public Safety of the State of Texas. See Texas Transportation Code 1.004
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in 'equity' rather than in 'law.' In English legal history, the courts of 'law' could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of 'equity' could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in 'law' cases but not in 'equity' cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}

In the state of Texas, certain special categories of drivers can be granted endorsements by the government allowing them to perform sensitive tasks not covered by the usual license conditions. You can think of it as the opposite of a license restriction, which are handed out far more often, and single out the carriers for extra scrutiny. An endorsement from the DPS means you have been judged worthy of special privileges as a driver.

For example, under the law, the driver of a school bus is considered to be in a special category. School bus drivers are responsible for the safety of dozens of children on a daily basis, and their skills and character have to be vetted before their license is issued. Until they receive their endorsements, they’re not able to take a job in their field.

Endorsements carry the weight of law and allow you to participate in work that requires special dispensation, but they can be revoked if you violate any of the conditions. DPS-endorsed drivers are held to a higher standard, so be especially mindful of your driving habits. If you’re interested in applying for a job that asks for a drivers license endorsement, make sure you meet all the requirements before you move forward.
