ABBOTT BACKS TRUMP ENGLISH ORDER FOR TRUCKERS; TEXAS LEADS OUT-OF-SERVICE HITS FOR NON-CITIZEN DRIVERS

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office says commercial drivers should fully comply with President Trump’s executive order requiring English proficiency, citing public safety. The piece reports Texas leads the nation in out-of-service orders tied to drivers failing English checks and notes a Texas DPS memo limiting enforcement to interstate carriers, signaling state–federal friction. Advocates push for tighter federal action on non-domiciled CDLs after several fatal crashes involving drivers with limited English. Abbott has referred enforcement details to his executive office as the legislature considers potential action.
