Private lesson. Quail Creek shooting range is in your area and I believe their lessons are 35 an hour. A good instructor with one on one training will be able to identify many flaws that may get passed over in a 'classroom' environment. Also, Reborn and Ridgeline, 2 members of this forum offer tactical pistol classes in the North Texas area.

Group classes are great, but private instruction will guarantee you One instructor paying attention to One shooter.

It's much easier and much, much cheaper to learn it right the first time. You can go to the range every day, but if you are practicing the wrong techniques, you will have limited improvement. And limited improvement is pretty discouraging.

I would also step out of the norm, and say that 'dry fire' is much more useful than live fire at the range. If the only practice you do is with live ammo, you WILL begin to anticipate recoil. If your primary practice is dry-fire, than the 'recoil' will be a surprise and your round will go where you intended it.

Dry fire is how you get better. Sending ammo down range is the way you confirm that your dry-fire practice is working. Just my .02.
