Three steps to get your license to carry in Texas

You will spend about 6 hours of total training before applying to Texas DPS for your handgun license.

01

Complete the Online Course

Take this 4-hour DPS approved online LTC Course from my website from anywhere in or outside of Texas. You can do this at your own pace on your phone, or computer. You can take this course from anywhere in Texas, in fact if you live outside of Texas, you can take if from hour home state BUT you MUST travel to take your shooting test inside of Texas. You will be issued your LTC-104 certificate after passing your online course and shooting test. The course covers Texas weapon, carry and use of force law, shooting basics, safe storage of guns, interactions with officers and more.

02

Schedule a one-on-one shooting test with me, not an assembly line test with 10 or more students all shooting at once.

Take your shooting test with me and I will issue you your LTC 104 training certificate before you leave the range. My shooting tests provide a more personal, safer shooting experience because I don’t allow more than one or two shooters on the firing line at a time. Many Instructors will have ten or more shooters firing on the range at the same time, sometimes even more! Your shooting test is a 50 round qualification, shot at distances of 3, 7 and 15 yards with timed shots. You can use any revolver or semi-auto pistol in good working order, will need 50 rounds of ammo and pay your lane fee to the range directly to use the range. I prefer using Alpine Range in Rendon, however I may come to another location at your location, if it’s reasonably close to Rendon 

03

Submit DPS Application

Apply through the Texas DPS handgun licensing website. Upload your LTC-104 certificate, submit your application, driver license. IF you were born outside of the US, you will need to also show proof of legal residency such as a green card, or US passport. Follow the instructions for fingerprinting. Texas handgun licensing will collect 40.00 for the five-year license to carry in Texas. Once approved, your Texas License to Carry will be mailed to you.

Attention: Ages 18 to 20

Finally 18-20 year old young adults can get a license to carry in Texas now!

Why Most People Still Don’t Feel Comfortable Carrying

So, you did all that hard work doing the responsible thing and getting our license to carry and you still are not comfortable at the thought of carrying daily? This is where I come in when needed as your personal carry coach. I provide real-world professional guidance to help you with personal struggles you are having that is preventing you from carrying daily, you want to but need someone with real-world professional knowledge and actual carry and use of force experience, both on the job and in my personal life.

"Great class, very informative. I feel way more comfortable carrying after taking this class!!!"

— Albert Alvarez

My job as you personal carry coach is to keep you safe and out of jail when carrying

Police in Fort Worth will always investigate your use of force when needed and or reported. I will teach you in coaching how to speak to the cops, in a language they like and understand during encounters. When I worked as a patrol deputy, I saw common mistakes good meaning carriers made that got them into legal trouble, learn from their mistakes. Here are some common real-life cases. Remember Texas LTC carriers are held to a higher standard than the general public, as police are.

  • Carriers not minding their own business, (ask a cop)
  • Improper use of their firearm in disputes
  • Parking lot and road rage cases, learn how to best handle them to escape alive and uninjured.
  • Verbal arguments, learn how to effectively de-escalate potentially violent aggressors
  • Develop confidence in your everyday carry
  • Many others, these are big ones.

Coaching is available by phone, Zoom. In person coaching would be available, when needed, contact me for a quote on my contact page.
