Questions 16 & 50 brings up the point that if you are pulled over, now instead of casually disclosing the presence of a concealed gun, the LEO might very well see it plus you will likely have it readily available. What's the proper procedure, then?

A question such as 18 helps to reinforce that weapons must be concealed at all times, which will no longer be true. So that whole line of questioning will change.

My question stems from this information I found on the DPS website:

Training curriculum for new applicants will be updated to reflect the new training requirements related to the use of restraint holsters and methods to ensure the secure carrying of openly carried handguns. The new curriculum will be required for all classes beginning January 1, 2016.
The department will be updating website, forms and training materials to reference License to Carry (LTC) instead of Concealed Handgun License (CHL).

So perhaps a forum member who is a licensed instructor can add a few comments about the new material that will be required and any tips on study resources.

I don't currently have a CHL but have been using some of the online resources to prepare. I have seen some materials on the DPS site that reference new information on holster requirements, plus a lot of the "concealment" questions on the test will now be moot.

Any comments and suggestions regarding the changes in testing are welcome!
