What Our Students Say

Testimonials from military, law enforcement, and civilian students

Derek O.

“I wanted to thank you for the Tactical Pistol Course you hosted in July. I appreciated the detailed, but easy to understand, instruction and wide range of exercises. Also, the course curriculum was such, that any shooter would benefit from it, no matter their experienced level. You can never get too much practice on the basics and it is rare to get the opportunity to practice engaging a target from, and around, a vehicle platform. Thanks again for the excellent class. Looking forward to taking it again in September.”

“I would take James Mitchell into any fight, any time, any where. Not only is James an experienced operator, he is also an outstanding instructor and first rate tactical trainer. You can bet your life on what Texas Security License Training will teach you. His courses go beyond the standard requirements and prepare you for real-world scenarios.”

“Several years ago I attended a security class taught by James Mitchell. At the time James stressed that getting your endorsement was just the beginning and that we really needed training after obtaining our endorsement before we were safe and competent to carry. The first training class I attended after obtaining my license demonstrated to me the breadth of what I did not know about carrying. I have now taken several Tactical Pistol classes from James and I highly recommend his classes.”

“You have the most outstanding range in the Houston area for practical pistol shooting. The way you progressively format your classes to have students shooting better by the end of the day than they were at the beginning is tactically sound. I have seen many novice shooters gain the confidence and competence to become outstanding practitioners of their second amendment rights after taking your classes with follow up practice on their own. The drills you teach set you apart from any local classes I have seen.”
