2) Have passed one or more of these states’ LP-gas transport-driver examinations.

5) Be employed by (or be) a Railroad Commission-licensed LP-gas company.

Reciprocal exemptions must be renewed annually by May 31 and are subject to the Railroad Commission’s $35 annual certification renewal fee.

Exemptions not renewed by the deadline must pay a $20 late fee.

NOTE: 16 Texas Administrative Code §9.18(g) defines a transport as a cargo tank motor vehicle of more than 5,000 gallons water capacity.
