So restraint holsters are NOT required? Good to know. Looks like I need to update my presentation once again. I have been touching on open carry briefly in my recent classes, but modeled it on the need for restraint holsters, as they were mentioned in the update to the recent legislation listed on the DPS site.

Individuals currently licensed will not be required to attend additional training. Training curriculum for new applicants will be updated to reflect the new training requirements related to the use of restraint holsters and methods to ensure the secure carrying of openly carried handguns. The new curriculum will be required for all classes beginning January 1, 2016
