About this exam
The Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper Recruit Entrance Examination is part of the selection process for applicants seeking to become Texas state troopers. It is intended for candidates pursuing a trooper recruit position, not for people applying to every Texas law-enforcement agency. The entrance exam is one step in a broader hiring process; meeting the exam requirement does not by itself guarantee selection. Eligibility rules, application steps, and the order of assessments can change, so applicants should use current Texas DPS recruiting materials as their source of truth.
Candidates should confirm the current exam format and tested subjects in the official Texas DPS recruitment information rather than rely on assumptions from older guides. Prepare the skills and content named in that guidance, and review directions carefully before test day. Traffic-code enforcement, crash investigation and collision documentation, highway patrol operations, and emergency vehicle operation are important areas of trooper work, but should not be treated as entrance-exam subjects unless DPS identifies them as such. A steady study plan, timed practice, and attention to accuracy can help you prepare without overstudying unconfirmed material.
How to prepare for the Texas DPS trooper entrance exam
- Read the latest Texas DPS trooper recruitment and exam instructions first; note the confirmed sections, test format, eligibility requirements, and any required next steps.
- Build your review around the skills and subjects named in the current exam guide. If the guide does not list operational topics, do not assume that traffic laws, crash documentation, patrol procedures, or emergency driving are tested.
- Use timed practice for the confirmed question types, then review errors to identify whether you need to improve accuracy, reading carefully, or pacing.
