I did mine years back in TX. I did it the opposite of smurf hunter. I carried before there was a legal CHL program. I am not fond of licensing for anything, but I did it anyway to avoid any legal hassle once it was legalized. I guess day to day practicality won out over my principles.
Anyway, it was an 8 hr class and some range time for a proficiency test. The proficiency test is basically a joke; if you can't pass I wouldn't want you carrying around me - LOL. You can get enough points at 3 and 7 yards to pass. It's a silhouette target.
3 yards, 20 rounds
1 shot, 2 seconds, 5 times
2 shots, 3 seconds, 5 times
5 shots, 10 seconds, 1 time
7 yards, 20 rounds
5 shots, 10 seconds, 1 time
2 shots, 4 seconds, 1 time
3 shots, 6 seconds, 1 time
1 shot, 3 seconds, 5 times
5 shots, 15 seconds, 1 time
15 yards, 10 rounds
2 shots, 6 seconds, 1 time
3 shots, 9 seconds, 1 time
5 shots, 15 seconds, 1 time
I had to submit fingerprints and do a background check, but Texas is shall issue and I have no criminal history. I'd prefer constitutional carry, but we're still working in that direction. I'm hoping HB700 passes here so we have OC as an option as well.
As was already mentioned its really just a pay-to-play certification course, not a training course.
