That's been a sore topic here at times. People who advertise a way to get around the legislative intent of the Texas legislature don't do the state's CHL community any favors.

Before anyone dumps on me.... I GET it. I do. The state charges too much, etc., etc. But we went through a patch of this stuff just a year or two ago, in case anyone's forgotten, in which there were some threats to change CHL law so as to require a CHL in order to validate an out of state permit. ONE state, Utah, actually DID change its CFP law, requiring anyone who applies for a non-resident permit to have a valid license from their home state as a qualification for getting a non-resident CFP.

I don't think that anyone would care if instructors merely advertised their particular out of state licensing course.....and for a long time, nobody did mind. But when a bunch of these instructors started advertising it as a way to circumvent Texas law, well......only an idiot wouldn't understand the trouble they stirred up. It's like those folks with long guns at OC demonstrations being categorically unrepentant about the damage they've done to the cause of OC in Texas.....exactly that kind of intellectual density.
