How many hours can a driver work consecutively?
I am a transportation driver for a non emergent shuttle service. My company is
switching shifts to 14-16 hour shifts. I would like to know what the restrictions
are for driving passengers in texas. Is there a minimum or maximum amount of
hours I can be worked in a day?

No, there is no restriction in your state or under federal law in terms of how many hours a driver like you can drive: you can drive as few or as many as your employer (which sets your hours) want you to drive.
