Here it is, and it is still in effect:

A qualified handgun instructor applicant must bring the required equipment, detailed in this section, to handgun proficiency training: one semi-automatic handgun; one non semi-automatic handgun; ammunition; ear protection (over-the-ear) and eye protection; other appropriate protective clothing; and other equipment as determined by the department. Handguns must be at least .32 caliber.

However I did find at least one commercial website that claims instructors can qualify with .22. So, don't know 100% and can't find anything specific to instructors other that the regulation above.

For applicants, it was changed to .22 caliber in 2017 session:

(SB263 by Senator Perry/Representative Drew Springer)

Since 1995, there has been a minimum caliber requirement in the statute for the range proficiency portion of the Texas License to Carry class. Range Proficiency requires the applicant shoot a 50-round course of fire.

Currently, those seeking a license must test with a .32 caliber or higher handgun although there is no caliber requirement regarding the firearm carried by the licensee on a day to day basis. This minimum caliber requirement negatively impacts those with hand injuries and the elderly who wish to obtain a license.

SB 263 by Senator Perry removes the caliber requirement for the range proficiency exam necessary to obtain a Texas License to Carry. The bill takes effect September 1.
