Obtaining a Texas Licence To Carry (LTC) consists of two basic steps:
- Class portion (online or in-person)
- Practical (shooting) qualification
We offer BOTH as a package deal at a fixed cost of $100.
The price is the same, no matter whether you choose the online class or in-person class.
If you have completed the online class and only need the practical portion, the cost is only $50.
- Online Class
- For those who prefer to learn online on a computer or mobile device, a convenient state-approved e-class is available.
Please contact us to obtain an e-learning access code.
- In-Person Class
- Upon successful payment, you gain access to the online class and can start learning immediately.
In-person classes are also offered, however, there is a minimum student limit
and classes need to be scheduled in advance. Please contact us to schedule an in-person class.

The practical shooting portion happens at a shooting range with a certified LTC instructor.
The state sets the requirements for the practical portion.
Students should bring:
- eye and ear protection (although most ranges also provide those)
- comfortable clothing for the choice of indoor/outdoor range
- closed-toe shoes
- clothing that covers the torso and protects it from flying hot brass
- clean and lubricated pistol (unless renting from the range or instructor)
- minimum 50 rounds (1 box) of ammunition (unless purchasing at the range)
- proof of completing the class
- proof of payment
- safe attitude
The practical portion usually takes less than 2 hours.

Students who have never fired a pistol can still take the LTC class but should definitely
first take a beginner lesson or two with our friendly instructor to ensure
proper and safe handling of firearms during the practical portion.
Same offer stands for students who feel rusty, not proficient or even nervous,
we again recommend a refresher lesson with our friendly instructor
who provides multiple different levels of training.
