Parks and wildlife has the rules on their website, I think you have to have a valid drivers license on anything with more than 30 horsepower, I could be a bit off so verify.

It's pretty simple. Do I have to take a Boater Education Course? If you were born on or after September 1, 1993, yes, you must complete a Boater Education course to operate a PWC or a boat with a horsepower rating of more than 15 hp. First item on the FAQ. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/faq/warden/boatinglawfaq.phtml
