BranDee BlackVery professional and personable. I will be recommending to friends.Shemekala NewtonI was trained and licensed by Jay 3 years ago! The experience with him and his company changed my life! The training, education soon turned into me forming my own group to encourage, and train women to be comfortable in the range and handling their firearms, educate themselves and get their LTC. Over the years and most recent I’ve sent all 4 of my children and a total of 16 of my family and friends to Jay for training, LTC, education and comfort! Jay is not only a great trainer, but an amazing educator as well! From the classroom to the range! His support is top notch and I recommend him to everyone! Even though I am licensed, I recently joined class yesterday to be updated on laws, codes, etc! I can call Jay at any time for support! Sign up now!!!Kozii GooseVery thorough and super informative, would recommend everyone take this LTC class. A lot of information to absorb but he provides the info in a way all can understand.

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.
Concealed Handgun 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.
Works on All Devices
