Re: How to become an instructor

I'm trying to find out what I need to do, step-by-step. This is what I've come up with so far; Would any of you experienced instructors please correct me where I'm wrong?

1) Per GC 411.190, obtain TCLEOSE certification (I'm not a LEO), graduate from a handgun instructor school, or become an NRA certified handgun instructor (already signed up for the class).
2) Start the TX CHL Instructor application process
3) Fingerprints & photos
4) Wait for DPS to schedule the class

The part I'm iffy on is #1. There's been some talk in this forum about a "short" class vs a "long" class and whether you need the TCLEOSE/NRA Instructor/handgun instructor school certs or not.

Thank you in advance for any advice and correction you can provide.
