I need to add, that if you do your class with Tom, bring a pad to sit on, the chairs at the Nessler Center leave a lot to be desired (as would most chairs after 10 hours).
My wife went to WalMart, sporting goods section, picked up some stadium seat pads for about $6. I would suggest 2 of them LOL.

Exactly and is not that hard to score to be honest

I agree, he did my wife's and my CHL class, incredibly knowledgeable and keeps the 10 hour class very interesting.
you can PM him on this forum, his name is ElGato, and he does his class at the Nessler Center in Texas City.
He also has rental or loaner weapons for the range if you do not have your own.

The other recommendations about a basic handgun course, I fully recommend.
Tom also does those, as well as a number of other people.
The turnaround time in Feb/March was about 35 days (with no application issues) from DPS receiving to Plastic in hand.

April/May is looking like 45 - 50 days, but due to the FBI fingerprint review of the census workers.
I would guess that the time should revert back to about 30 shortly, and maybe a bit less as the new website makes most things electronic.

Good Luck!
