They want to check records and paperwork, certificates, as well as monitor classes for content, time, etc. Very nice lady told me they were not supposed to be bullies, just check up on us.

We were told that they audit pretty much only when there's a complaint by either another instructor or student. They simply don't have the manpower for anything else. The biggest complaint is about the instructors that simply "sell" the license by charging the money, filling out the forms and not really holding any type of class. But if any part of the required sections aren't taught, it can land an instructor in jail.Seabear wrote:I got an interesting phone call yesterday. Apparently someone in Austin just realized that we instructors have not been getting audited and checked up on. So, they just turned over this responsibility to the regulatory division. They just had a crash course on the laws and what to check on. Be expecting a phone call.![]()

She actually called because she was given the task of identifying someone in our area that is REALLY pushing the UTAH license. Evidently word had reached Austin. I'm not sure why they couldn't find the info on their own, it was pretty easy to find. She said she Googled for instructors in our area and I popped up at the top. I thought that was funny too since they have a list of instructors with contact info. ?????sjfcontrol wrote:Hmmm, why did they call you? And apparently nobody else? Makes me wonder if somebody was doing a little "social engineering" on your behalf.
DPS investigates any allegations of instructor misconduct.
Well, that was the threat when I went through the Inst. Class too. However, several complaints have been filed about one TXCHL Instructor in our area and nothing has changed. Go figure.TDDude wrote:We were told that they audit pretty much only when there's a complaint by either another instructor or student. They simply don't have the manpower for anything else.

Well, if that's the case, if the investigator is in the class when he's "off", then he's going to jail. Until someone can get there, I guess he gets to skate.Seabear wrote: Well, that was the threat when I went through the Inst. Class too.

I asked about this when I was up in Georgetown and they told us that former students of someone who got busted would get to keep their license. If it can be proven that the student/students were complicent that's probably another matter.DoubleActionCHL wrote:..... If DPS chooses, I informed him, his instructor's certificate would be yanked, along with the CHL of his students. Funny... the conversation was over and the subject was abruptly changed.
I had a student call me the other day asking about requalifying. He received a letter informing him that his instructor's license had been revoked and he had 90 days to find an instructor and requalify to keep his CHL. Apparently, he only had to redo the shooting portion.TDDude wrote:I asked about this when I was up in Georgetown and they told us that former students of someone who got busted would get to keep their license.

But if it was my first time and the dude skated through in 5 hours with some shooting, I know I wouldn't have known the difference.
