John - Sorry, I've not been back to this thread until now. As others suggested, an NRA class probably your best bet - due primarily to age(s). "First Steps" orientations take rougly 3 to 4 hours and a certificate is isssued (for having training on a specific firearm).
T.P. & W. regs. say kids must be at least 12 for certification. Altho I've had parents who have done some research on out-of-state regs. and had younger kids take the class anyway for "temporary certificate", which has apparently been acceptable for hunting license in other some states ...

It sounds like a hunter ed. class for the whole family would be a good investment for your next extra $40.
While the number of classes offered this time of year is getting pretty thin, there are still a few showing on Texas Park's and Wildlife's web site. Some classes are typically just $10 per person (although we can't do them quite that cheap at our place).
Relatively new "Home Study" option makes it semi-painless. Classes in Austin may be your best bet this time of year.
