It will cost me $300+ to get re-certified as an NRA Instructor along with the $100 for the CHL Instructor renewal. I will not teach NRA courses and that will expire AGAIN in one year. I guess I will have to retake the NRA course again in 2 years to requal as a CHL Instructor. I am also still waiting for my CHL 90. I hope this is just a big misunderstanding.

If he was NRA certified pistol instructor when he became a CHL instructor you would think that would be good enough. If you look at the law it gives the required training TCLEOSE instructor Texas Occupations code 1701, TOC 1702 which is what I came in under (armed security officer instructor) & NRA pistol instructor. My question is surely DPS is not saying you have to remain certified by one of these in order to continue to renew chl instr. I will in the near future retire from instructing at the security academy don't plan on keeping the J license costs 100 bucks a year. I'm probally not making any sense but if he was qualified when he came into the program can't see DPS saying you have to continue keeping up the license in order to renew. Just asking maybe something I'm not seeing here believe me not the brightest candle in the box.
