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.
