Online Course $49: Your First Step Toward LTC
If you’ve been thinking about getting your Texas License to Carry (LTC) but worried about time, travel, or classroom logistics—good news. The state now allows you to complete the entire classroom portion online, and thousands of Texans are taking advantage of this flexible, self-paced option. Whether you’re a veteran, a working professional, or a first-time gun owner, online LTC training puts you in control of your schedule.
How Online LTC Training Works
An LTC proves you’ve been vetted and trained. That can shape law enforcement interactions, especially during traffic stops or in sensitive environments.

- Watch video modules at your own pace
- Works on any device—phone, tablet, or computer
- Finish in about 4 hours (state minimum)
- Receive your LTC-101 certificate immediately
- Complete the Shooting Qualification
- Required unless exempt (e.g., recent military firearms training)
- Schedule with a certified LTC instructor near you
- Submit both documents to DPS and await your license
