Thanks to everyone for the feedback.  I took the combo test today (couple of online practice test actually made it easy) after hearing their new argument of "combination test is required as of April 18"  I'm not sure I believe it.  I spoke to Austin office and they could not confirm....nor deny that info.  I needed it done, so I played their game and did it their way.   Just waiting for the drive test to be scheduled, as they had trouble doing that too. Thus the fun continues.   SMH

Barbaraok,

while Livingston does sound nice, the 460 mile round trip doesn't.  That being said, I've already invested more time trying here than that would have taken....living and learning.    Thanks

Wanderes, 

  Thanks for the quick reply, I'm going to head back and try to state a better argument.  You wouldn't by chance have that supervisors name that you won over would you?

Wanderers, I literally just had the exact same experience (well, almost...day one, after waiting for 3 hours, their computers went down, day two, there computers went down for about 2 more hours, all said I was there for 7 hours today) at the same location you were at, but I guess I didn't argue loud enough about the air brake test.  Thus walked away with failed second test.  No-one there would listen to me when I tried to tell them it was wrong.  They even brought in a DPS officer which was of no use to me.  Can any of you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me where you got the info for proper test, as I cannot find it anywhere on TX.GOV sights regarding the "CVO knowledge test"  to show the nitwits at the test center, as they don't seem to want to take my word for it.  Now I'm just a little mad that I folded too quickly.  Thank you. and congrats for getting through to these folks.
