I took this up with one of the DPS instructors there, because I don't see how they can legally restrict it. I politely and non-confrontationally asked him during one of the breaks (privately), specifically pointing out the inability of a government entity to restrict carrying. I also asked if verbal notice (as given) was valid from a government entity. Thankfully, he was able to avoid providing an answer because there was one other man taking the class, who knew it all. He went on a ten minute tirade explaining to me that they could "do whatever they want." Then the break ended. I took from the instructor's reaction that they really weren't able to, but he'd prefer not to answer and let the "expert" provide me with an answer and I didn't pursue it any further. DPS would chooses which questions they'd like to answer during the course, as well as which they'd like to defer to your personal attorney.
