Will Texas Enforce FMCSA English Proficiency Rules for Intrastate CDL Drivers?
In Texas, drivers who cannot read or speak English may still be issued commercial driver's licenses if they operate solely within the state's borders. This policy is not new. Per Texas Transportation Code § 522.043(b), the state prohibits requiring English language proficiency for intrastate-only CDL holders. The Texas Administrative Code and the official Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Handbook support this stance, noting that ELP only applies to interstate drivers. But a new enforcement directive from FMCSA, effective June 25, states that any commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver failing to meet the English proficiency standard under 49 CFR 391.11(b)(2) will be placed out of service if operating in interstate commerce. The issue? Texas isn't enforcing this for intrastate fleets and never really has. Federal Funds at Risk? MCSAP Says Maybe This enforcement discretion may violate the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP), a federal grant program that gives states funding for enforcement in exchange for aligning with FMCSA safety regulations. 49 CFR 350.305 outlines the limited list of allowable state-level variances. English proficiency isn't one of them. So, unless Texas has formally petitioned FMCSA for a variance – and DPS leadership confirms the state hasn't – Texas' refusal to enforce this could jeopardize MCSAP funding. TDPS Says No to ELP Enforcement, But FMCSA Says That's Changing The Playbook directly messaged leadership at Texas DPS, and the agency stated that it does not have a formal FMCSA-approved exemption. However, historically, FMCSA has turned a blind eye. That leniency may be coming to an end. Texas never enforced English proficiency for Intrastate drivers before the 2014-2015 FMCSA enforcement directive and still hasn't. But now, with FMCSA saying ELP violations will result in out-of-service orders, the conversation is shifting. Texas may be forced to act if FMCSA chooses to enforce funding eligibility under MCSAP. What's at Stake for Fleets? For now, fleets operating intrastate in Texas may continue employing non-English-speaking drivers with a restricted CDL if they stay within the state. But carriers need to be extremely careful: Interstate operations are subject to federal ELP enforcement. That includes for-hire and private carriers operating across state lines or hauling loads that begin or end outside Texas. MCSAP enforcement could force Texas to revise its policies or risk losing significant federal funding. Border state complications may emerge. As a border state, Texas is uniquely exposed to federal scrutiny, especially given the broader political climate and FMCSA's evolving enforcement stance. Compliance Is No Longer Optional The key takeaway? Carriers must evaluate whether their drivers are genuinely intrastate and ensure their CDL designations, load documentation and operational areas support that claim. The days of looking the other way on English proficiency may be numbered. As the FMCSA steps up enforcement and grant eligibility becomes more stringent, states like Texas may be forced to close the gap between state law and federal expectations or risk the financial and regulatory fallout.

Optimal Blue Launches New Lead Generation Tool for Originators
- Capture for Originators helps lenders approach borrowers at the right time with 'makes sense' refinance scenarios - PLANO, Texas, June 9, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Optimal Blue today announced a new product that helps originators efficiently track and identify refinance opportunities so they can reengage borrowers with eligible refinance options at the right time. Available to Optimal Blue PPE users, Capture for Originators dramatically reduces the manual effort loan officers currently spend evaluating refinance potential by automatically analyzing entire portfolios each month and putting recapture opportunities directly into originators' hands. 'Instead of expecting originators to review all of their past clients to find refinance opportunities, we have given them a solution that automatically identifies an opportunity, provides pricing options and generates a presentation to the borrower,' said Mike Vough, head of corporate strategy at Optimal Blue. 'Capture gives originators an efficient, data-driven way to identify borrower savings and turn that opportunity into reality.' Capture for Originators goes far beyond basic rate alerts. It provides a user-friendly dashboard that surfaces closed loans with refinance potential, complete with break-even calculations for multiple scenarios, closing cost estimates and borrower savings analysis. By automatically factoring in lender fees and current pricing from the Optimal Blue PPE, Capture helps loan officers act quickly and accurately without spreadsheets or manual data pulls. Once an opportunity is identified, Capture for Originators generates pre-filled borrower outreach emails that include an easy-to-read summary of available refinance options backed by the industry-leading accuracy of the Optimal Blue PPE along with a link to the lender's point-of-sale experience or borrower intake form. The tool also streamlines an originator's ability to evaluate new refinance prospects. Loan officers can input referral details directly within the Capture for Originators interface, as well as send an intake form directly to new prospects, making it easy to start the conversation with referred borrowers and instantly analyze their existing loan. An activity log tracks all borrower outreach history. Developed in partnership with Uplist, a leading SaaS platform for the real estate industry, Capture for Originators includes all the data sources loan officers need to assess refinance potential. That includes automated valuation models (AVMs), county records and live pricing elements, including branch and originator margins and concessions – all integrated out of the box. With this data in place, lenders can deliver personalized refinance offers without the complexity and cost of managing external integrations or market-tracking tools. 'Our approach at Uplist is all about giving originators more efficiency and accuracy, and we are thrilled to partner with Optimal Blue to make these benefits accessible to more originators,' said Jeff Bell, president of Uplist. 'Rather than spending up to 30 minutes manually evaluating each loan and creating presentations, originators can now rely on Capture for Originators to identify refinance opportunities they might otherwise miss – and deliver them to clients with minimal effort.' To begin taking advantage of Capture for Originators, Optimal Blue PPE users should contact their Client Services representative or [email protected].
