Accepted Training

[bmitch300wby]

New to Texas from Wyoming and looking to get my TX LTC. When I lived in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, they would accept my POST certification from Idaho as proof of training. Does anyone know if Texas accepts the same or do I have to take the LTC course? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for that information. I will submit my POST and all they can say is no.
