And here's where you can read the Code yourself: http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/rea ... &pt=1&ch=6

You're looking for 6.11 and 6.73.

In my opinion, the shooting test is ridiculously easy, and a laser isn't going to make or break anyone. The lady next to me in my test looked like she had never held a gun before, missed paper with her first several shots (at 3 yards), and still managed to pass. I don't see how a laser would change anything - the requirements to pass the test are already a joke.

However, I do see the argument for no lasers - it's analogous to giving a kid a calculator when he is first learning to add. It will teach the kid to punch buttons, not necessarily to add. Similarly, a laser will teach a shooter to put the laser on the target, not to line up a site picture with a target - a subtle, but substantial difference, which I think is important for everyone to learn, whether they are a soldier in basic training, a 7-year-old shooting with his dad, or a teacher (for all my opinion is worth ).

I remember a previous thread with the rules cited:

Texas Administrative Code Chapter 6:
Rule 6.11(a) wrote:The proficiency demonstration course will be the same for both instructors and license applications...
Rule 6.73 wrote:...No optical enhancers will be allowed.
