1. Complete training – Either online or in-person through Oklahoma Carry Academy 2. Apply with DPS – Submit application, fingerprints, and familiarization qualification to Texas Department of Public Safety
Both steps can happen at the same time. You don't have to finish training before you start the DPS application.
Reciprocity. The Texas LTC is recognized in 37 other states. If you ever travel, cross state lines, or want the option—get the LTC. It's how you carry legally nationwide.
Women and concealed carry: Instructors regularly get asked about the best concealed carry handguns for women. The honest answer: pick whatever you shoot best and can conceal comfortably. Comfort matters more than brand.
