Texas License to Carry
Issued by Texas DPS
Be cautious of advertisements from other companies claiming to offer concealed carry licenses or permits that are supposedly “valid” in Texas. These licenses are typically for a Virginia permit and not specific to Texas. To obtain a genuine Texas License, it’s essential that the instructor is certified by the Texas Department of Public Safety as a Texas LTC instructor. Additionally, the applicant must undergo the shooting qualification in Texas for it to be considered a valid Texas LTC. If there is no shooting requirement, it is not a genuine Texas License.
Concealed Handgun License
The Texas License to Carry has taken the place of what was previously known as the Texas Concealed Handgun License, commonly referred to as a concealed carry permit. The LTC now serves as the updated version of the CHL.
Works on All Devices
