The license is the starting point. Comfort comes after.

Lets wrap this up.

Three steps from start to carrying legally.

01

Complete the Online Course

Take the course at your own pace (about 4 hours). You’ll receive your LTC-104 certificate upon completion.

02

Complete Your Shooting Test

Contact me to schedule your handgun proficiency qualification (shooting test). Bring your LTC-104 certificate with you to the range so I can sign off that you passed your shooting test. This shooting test will include at least one hour of instruction. If you are new to guns, and feel a little nervous, more likely two hours at the most.

03

Apply With Texas DPS and submit application online

Submit your application through the Texas DPS website. Upload your LTC-104 certificate, driver license and follow fingerprinting instructions. Your license typically arrives within 60 days or less. If you are not ready to carry after getting licensed, that is normal, don’t be afraid to reach out for some real world professional and trusted guidance from a guy that has carried daily most of his life for a living and in my personal life.

WHO THIS IS FOR


Added benefits of having an LTC

No classrooms, no waiting. Here’s exactly what the process looks like from sign-up to carrying legally.

Ages 18 to 20

You are legally required to have an LTC to carry a handgun in public. Constitutional carry does not apply to your age group. This course is the first step.

First-Time Gun Owners

You want to carry responsibly but you are not sure where to start. This course covers the laws, safety practices, and real-world habits you need.

Anyone Wanting a Texas LTC

You live in Texas, recently moved here, or live out of state and want a Texas LTC for reciprocity in 37+ states. The course works for residents and non-residents.

WHY THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO START

Attention: Ages 18 to 20

You Need an LTC to Carry Legally

Texas now allows adults 18 to 20 to obtain a License to Carry. Unlike adults 21 and older who can carry under
constitutional carry, you must have an LTC to legally carry a handgun in public. This course fulfills the classroom
requirement.

BEYOND THE CERTIFICATE

The Course Gets You Certified.

I Help You Get Comfortable.

Most people finish the LTC course and still don’t feel ready to actually carry. That is completely normal. The course teaches you what the state requires, but it doesn’t prepare you for real life — choosing the right holster, understanding how the law applies to everyday situations, building the muscle memory to carry every day without thinking about it.

That is exactly why I offer coaching. Whether you need a single session to work through specific questions or want hands-on training, I am here for you after the certificate.
