Follow up to my question...
Elsewhere I read that the POS had a Texas DPS permit as a Non-Commissioned Security Officer and was authorized to carry while on duty.
Un-freaking-real.
I wonder where and when he worked??
Answer to my question. I do remember reading he worked at Schlitterbahn.
Texas church gunman Devin Patrick Kelley received a non-commissioned security officer registration from Texas Department of Public Safety that was issued on June 8, according to TOPS (Texas Online Private Security) records, via Texas DPS. The registration would have expired on June 8, 2019.Kelley’s registration is affiliated with Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Resort. CNN has reached out to Schlitterbahn to determine if Kelley recently worked for the park, but has yet to hear back.

From the presser in the town of the shooting today, DPS rep stated his security guard permit was an UNARMED permit - no gun during duty.
In Texas you do not need a license to carry if you are on premises under your control.
The certification is to certify he received security guard training, not an authorization for a CCW.
