House Bill 592 amends the Government Code to require the Texas Department of Public Safety to conduct a background check, similar to that required for a concealed handgun permit, on a person who applies for certification as a qualified handgun instructor. The act prohibits the department from issuing a certification to a handgun instructor applicant who would not qualify for a concealed handgun permit. The act requires the department to provide handgun instructor training to a qualified applicant.
