Semester hours? TEXAS

Hello all! So quick little bio about myself, and I’ve never told anybody this.

So im late 20’s, just obtained my GED a few days ago, got the transcripts and everything. Very proud of myself, even tho it took almost a decade. I still did it.

I’m looking into law enforcement jobs and a few of them list (12 semester hours) with a GED. Only issue is, I have no idea what a semester hour is, or how many classes, how long that would take. I do want to emphasize I want to achieve my bachelors degree at one point, but for now, would love info from people that are familiar with Texas credits, semester hours etc.

How long would it take for a part time student to achieve 12 semester hours quickly? Advice?

Thanks!

Edit: I do have an appointment with a school advisor this upcoming Monday, just wanted to get some early info”
