What I love is that being a LTC instructor only qualifies you as a classroom instructor while the NRA certification only qualifies you as a firearms instructor.

(a) An application for approval as a training instructor shall contain evidence of qualification as required by the department. Instructors may be approved for classroom or firearm training, or both. An individual may apply for approval for one or both of these categories. To qualify for classroom or firearm instructor approval, the applicant must submit acceptable certificates of training for each category. The classroom instructor and firearm certificates shall represent a combined minimum of forty (40) hours of department approved instruction.
(b) The items detailed in this subsection may constitute proof of qualification as a classroom instructor for security officers:
(1) An instructor's certificate issued by Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE);
(2) An instructor's certificate issued by federal, state, or political subdivision law enforcement agency approved by the department;
(3) An instructor's certificate issued by the Texas Education Agency (TEA);
(4) An instructor's certificate relating to law enforcement, private security, or industrial security issued by a junior college, college, or university; or
(5) A concealed handgun instructor certificate issued by the department.
(c) The items listed in this subsection may constitute proof of qualification as a firearm training instructor, if reflecting training completed within two (2) years of the date of the application:
(1) A handgun instructor's certificate issued by the National Rifle Association;
(2) A firearm instructor's certificate issued by TCOLE; or
(3) A firearm instructor's certificate issued by a federal, state, or political subdivision law enforcement agency approved by the department.

Which, coincidentally, the NRA Pistol Instructor certification qualifies you for.
