Under 521.025, a person required to hold a license must do which of the following?

• A. Have the class of license appropriate for the vehicle operated and display the license on demand
• B. Only display the license on demand
• C. Only possess the license; display is not required
• D. Display the license only to magistrates

Answer: (A)

You must carry the proper license class for the vehicle you’re operating and be ready to show it when asked. The license class corresponds to the type of vehicle (for example, a standard car license for a car, a motorcycle license for a motorcycle, or a commercial license for heavier vehicles), so you’re legally authorized to operate that specific vehicle. The requirement to display the license on demand ensures a officer can quickly verify you’re properly licensed during a stop or inspection. Merely possessing the license without the correct class isn’t enough, and displaying only to magistrates wouldn’t satisfy the on-request display requirement.
