Texas License to Carry PLUS class
Course Overview:
We have taught the Texas LTC class for a decade feeling the whole time that it was not adequate training by itself before sending a student out into the real world. Therefore we have taken the state mandated curriculum and range qualification needed for your license and combined it with marksmanship essentials and a few practical covert skills that we feel are necessary based on our experience.
This is the complete in-person TX License to Carry Course (4-6 hr. State mandated) which includes the classroom, written test and range qualification.
The Texas LTC state DPS requirements are as follows:
1.The core course material length is 4-6 hours (regulated by state law). The actual class is one day. This will include time for breaks, written test, range time, and shooting qualification.
2. Students must pass the written test with a minimum score of 70% and pass the proficiency test (shooting test) with a minimum score of 70% (175 points out of 250).
In addition to the above this is what the Integrity ‘PLUS’ includes:
1. Additional marksmanship instruction using SIRT laser pistols
2. Additional training in covert carry and defensive pistol tactics.
3. A discount code for 40% off a future Fundamentals of Covert Carry Course.
This is the only way that we offer this class to be morally responsible. The shooting qualification is done at CCC Shooting Complex in Navasota TX.

LTC Application Process
It is not necessary to initiate the online application with DPS prior to our class, but the sooner you apply, the sooner you will complete the process and get your license in the mail. You can initiate your online application with DPS at the following website link:https://txapps.texas.gov/txapp/txdps/chl/
Written Test and Proficiency Test (Shooting Qualification):
In order to earn your LTC certificate with this class you must pass the standardized Texas DPS written test with a score of 70% or better AND Pass the standardized Texas DPS Proficiency Test (shooting test) with a score of 70% (175 points out of 250). Don’t worry! We will give you step by step directions in the class and on the range!
We do NOT allow .22 caliber handguns or AR pistols for range qualification.
Come Prepared:
Please know how to operate your handgun and practice shooting your gun before class. You must also be able to engage your safety routinely if your gun comes equipped with a safety.
I strongly recommend taking our Handgun 101 class before the LTC Class if you have never fired your firearm or if you need help with gun safety and marksmanship skills. The Handgun 101 will provide you the tools and foundation needed to help prepare you for the LTC shooting test.
Know and be able to load (and unload) your own magazines (semi-automatics) and cylinders (revolvers). Some magazine springs are stiffer than others, especially new ones. You will need to be able to load from 6 to 10 rounds into your magazine.
You will be shooting on a “line” along with other people. This tends to make some people nervous if they have never shot this way before. So practice safe gun handling and shoot your gun before class!
