I recently took a Range Officer First Response class with Lone Star Medics in Fort Worth. It was well worth the $$$ to get the knowledge to handle gunshot wounds etc in the field. One of the best parts of the class was getting to try several dozen types of bandaids, TQs, pressure dressings etc. to find out what works and what does not.

Is there some one in the Houston area that offers a course like that?. It's been a number of years but it might be worthwhile to get back up to speed.

Even if I wasn't still a licensed paramedic, I would be sure to keep my CPR/FA skills up.
The American Red Cross has some great classes for it. Even a week-long first responder course.
I'm going to look at the Trauma course you've linked to when I get home. One thing you might want in your FA kit is QuikClot. Developed for penetrating traumas like GSWs. I am stocking my FA (soon to be a medic) bag piece by piece, and that's high on my wish list.
17 years in EMS as a PM and flight PM and Im ashamed to say my BOB/MedKit isnt as up to par as it should be... But if its QuikClot ya need look no further...
For $12.99...You can get quick clot at ...
