Handwriting analysis
I am looking for a good handwriting analysis school for training/certification.
This training would be used for signature analysis concerning our hot checks, and other investigative needs.
Any ideas and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If the case requires the person to testify in court as an expert, you may want to check the CCP. It is my understanding that the legislature changed it a couple of years ago to where any such testing had to be done at an accredited laboratory (DPS, etc). Individuals were no longer able to do this.

See article 38.35, CCP, and then look at Texas Administrative Rules as they apply to the forensic field of document examination:
