The Texas LTC gives legal protections and multiple benefits when carrying a gun in Texas. Not only are there advantages within Texas law for having an LTC, the online class also covers material that every gun owner is responsible to know and is crucial to be aware of. Permitless carry, or constitutional carry, does not effect the LTC in Texas. Every responsible gun owner should still have an LTC for the reasons listed above.

3 Simple Steps to Get Your LTC

1. Take this Online LTC Class

The online class is a total of 4 hours, required by Texas DPS, and can be taken at your own pace. You will be issued an LTC-101 certificate immediately upon completion.​
