One of the most common questions we receive at RW Defense is, “Do I still need a Texas License to Carry now that Texas has permitless carry?”
The short answer is yes.
While Texas law allows many individuals to carry a handgun without a license, obtaining a Texas License to Carry (LTC) still provides significant advantages that make it worthwhile for responsible gun owners.
Why Obtain a Texas License to Carry?
A Texas LTC demonstrates that you have completed formal training on:
- Firearm safety
- Texas laws regarding the use of force and deadly force
- Conflict avoidance and situational awareness
- Safe handgun handling and storage
- Legal responsibilities of carrying a handgun
Beyond the educational benefits, an LTC may provide reciprocity with many other states, streamline firearm purchases in certain situations, and demonstrate your commitment to responsible firearm ownership.
Learn at Your Own Pace
The RW Defense Online Texas License to Carry Course allows students to complete the classroom portion of the LTC training on their own schedule.
Whether you are a busy professional, shift worker, parent, retiree, or student, you can access the course anytime and from virtually anywhere.
There is no need to spend an entire day sitting in a classroom. Instead, you can complete the training in manageable segments that fit your schedule.
