Kalel AmanJay was an amazing instructor and went as far as to teach it from real life scenarios.
Moreno ChuloWent to Jay for my LTC shooting test at D gun range. Excellent experience overall. Will debrief you before you start shooting at the range and will repeat instructions and rules if need be. Go with Jay if you can.
Lafonda NedI took the beginners firearms class with Jay. I was a nervous at first,but it he made me feel comfortable, I felt much better about handling a firearm after taking the class. Thank you Jay!!
Gerardo MojarroJay is the Best LTC instructor in the business
Reginald FiggsGreat experience! Jay was very informative and very passionate about the information he was giving.
Jamaul WadeJay is an excellent teacher and very professional. If you have any questions he is always there to answer them. I highly recommend anybody to take his class.
Sam Wildman SrJay was very professional and through in his instructions. I highly recommend Jay and the range.
Frances Kasparik-LutheJay was very professional yet was so awesome about making sure I was relaxed and comfortable before my proficiency testing. He really knows his stuff. I will honestly say if you've got to get your gun safety (or any other reason you needed to have knowledge and practice with a firearm...) go get it done with Jay! He's very kind, and will teach you more than you need to know about any firearm you're dealing with! Excellent trainer! I will not go to anyone else for anything related to firearms. He will be my go - to guy from now on! I know I will get the right information and that I won't be made to feel stupid or as if I'm taking up his time. He is also very prompt to respond to calls/texts which was great. I knew what was going to happen and when well enough in advance to be able to make sure I was there on time and not at all worried about anything. He is hands down the best at what he does. I would do more than just give my recommendation - I say he is the ONLY guy to go to for firearm/firearm related testing, questions and anything else you're in need of. Great experience. Great guy! Super happy I chose TexasSoul and Jay for my License to Carry needs!

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.

The Texas License to Carry has taken the place of what was previously known as the Texas Concealed Handgun License, commonly referred to as a concealed carry permit. The LTC now serves as the updated version of the CHL.
