What You'll Learn
Formerly known as "Concealed Handgun License" Course is now Texas "License To Carry" as it allows concealed and openly carried firearms....
This Course is not to teach you to shoot but to teach you the Texas Laws and evaluate your shooting.
Effective March 1st, 2011, TX DPS requires that all Texas Concealed Handgun License Applicants obtain their fingerprints from L1. You cannot schedule an appointment until the TX DPS has received your application. To schedule an appointment, call 1-888-467-2080 or visit their website at https://www.identogo.com/
As of September 1, 2013, the Texas Concealed Handgun License Class is a Four to Six Hour Class, not including RANGE TIME. Our class will be approximately 5 hours plus range time.
As of January 1, 2016, the Concealed Handgun License (CHL) class is now called License to Carry (LTC) because Open Carry for Licensed individuals will become legal on this date.
Upon successful completion of the class and submission of the application materials, the state will issue you a license as soon as 60 days, assuming there is no legal disqualification.
