The only hang-up is that the CHL course must be conducted in Texas. Probably some military personnel would benefit from a Florida or other non-resident license, which doesn't require in-state testing and is cheaper anyway.

I don't believe it is cheaper. Active duty and discharged within a year is free in Texas.
I submitted my application within a year and only paid for my photos and a heavily discounted class. About $32.00 plus postage.
Florida and Virginia both accept military proficiency in lieu of the CCW course. Some other states may as well.
