Texas LTC Procedure:
There are two steps to the application process, first (1) is take a training course and shooting proficiency, then (2) completing an application and submitting fingerprints. These are concurrent and you may do either one first. We would suggest you start the paperwork and finger print portions before you schedule to attend a LTC course.
1. Take the Training Course: Take the LTC training course (we offer in classroom only). State law mandates 4 to 6 hours of class time, which includes a written examination. Then, there is a shooting practical which requires 1-2 hours at the range. You MUST attend and pass each with a score of 70% or better. The class and exam cover Texas gun laws that relate to weapons and to the use of deadly force, nonviolent conflict resolution, handgun use and safety, and proper storage practices.
The shooting practical requires you to fire fifty rounds total, which includes 20 shots at three yards, 20 at seven yards, and 10 at fifteen yards. The minimum passing score is 175 (70%). A perfect score is 250. Please be aware that the LTC class is NOT a firearm instruction class, and prior firearm experience is best. A Basic Firearm class is encouraged if your experience is limited. WesTex offers a basic handgun class as well.
*Optical enhancers such as laser or scopes, are not permitted by Texas DPS administrative code when qualifying for your LTC. You WILL be asked to remove them prior to shooting. Red Dots are now allowed for the LTC qualification.
*Please have ammo (minimum 50 rounds, we suggestion to bring 100 rounds) available. Please make sure the firearm you will be using is in good working condition. DO NOT bring a loaded firearms to to this class!
Our LTC class fee is $100.00. There are no range fees as long as we are able use our private range.
