Anybody done the TX Supplemental Peace Officers course from Classen-Buck?

I'm looking into to taking this in the future and hopefully relocating to the DFW area, but I have a few questions....
Don't you have to be certified in another state for a year before you can challenge the TCLEOSE test?
Do you have to travel to TX to take the test after you take the course?
Was all the paper work a head ache or is it a pretty simple process?
After you take the test, how long do you have to get a job before your TX cert expires?

I was certified through this program.. You have to either be certified through another state or been a Active Duty Military Police for atleast 24 months. You complete everything on line and then send in the paperwork once you recieve your endorsement to take the state test you will then have to come to Texas to take the state test the endorsement expires after 180 days.. The paperwork for the endorsement is not to bad.

After you take the test, is there a certain amount of time before your TCLEOSE certification expires?

2 years, however, if you maintain the continuing education requirement (40 hours every 24 months) your certification will remain active.

I took the course last year when I got out of the military, pm me if you have any questions

I saw on the TCLEOSE website you need a letter from your current pd stating how long you've been employed..... This could be alittle akward to obtain, especially if you don't want anyone to know you're looking for another job. Any suggestions???
