OnlineTexasLTC.com is officially approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety to deliver the mandatory License to Carry training course online. No crowded classrooms, no fixed schedules, no travel time.
The course breaks down into 15-20 minute video segments covering 4.5 hours of Texas DPS-required material. You can power through it all at once or spread it across days—whatever fits your schedule.
Start immediately after purchase. You get 6 months of access to watch, pause, rewind, and take notes. Closed captions available in English on every video. You'll receive your LTC-104 certificate the moment you pass the completion quiz.
- •Weapon Law – Texas and federal statutes on deadly force, use of weapons, and legal carry
- •Handgun Safety & Handling – Holster types, secure carry methods, firearm operation
- •Non-Violent Dispute Resolution – De-escalation techniques, communication, situational awareness
- •Safe Storage – Storage options and legal requirements for Texas gun owners
All material connects directly to carrying responsibly in public. Whether you plan to carry or just want to understand Texas gun law, this course covers what responsible gun owners need to know.
Texas DPS requires a shooting qualification with an LTC instructor (with rare exceptions). You have 2 years from course completion to schedule this. Most shooting ranges in Texas have LTC instructors on staff.
OnlineTexasLTC.com offers private proficiency demonstrations at Staccato Ranch north of Austin for students who want structured instruction beyond the range qualification.
Military/Veteran Exemption: Active duty military and veterans with range cards dated within the last 10 years may skip the shooting qualification—submit your range card with the LTC application instead.
Joel Kuchenski brings nearly a decade of law enforcement experience. As a police officer for a large Texas municipal department, he served as a patrol officer, field training officer, tactical instructor, and firearms instructor. He completed additional training as a cadet instructor at the police academy, where he taught firearms and tactics with over 1,000 hours of documented training.
Certifications include: - Texas License to Carry Instructor (certified under Texas GC 411.188 & 411.190) - TCOLE Firearms Instructor & Basic Instructor - DPS School Safety Instructor & First Responder Course Instructor - ALLERT Civilian Response to Active Shooter Instructor
His law enforcement background means real-world perspective on Texas gun law and carry scenarios that classroom instructors typically don't cover.
