## <a name="plg_content_jumplinks0">Eligibility Requirements for a Texas LTC</a>

Before you can obtain an LTC in Texas, there are a number of eligibility requirements that you must meet. You must be at least 18 years of age, a legal resident of Texas, and not be ineligible to possess a firearm under state or federal law. Additionally, you must successfully complete a [training](/research/legislation/hb-5139-providing-a-legal-justification-for-less-lethal-force "HB 5139: Providing a Legal Justification for Less-Lethal Force ") course that covers [firearms](/research/legislation/hb-4995-tactical-medical-professionals-and-handgun-carry "HB 4995: Tactical Medical Professionals and Handgun Carry") [safety](/concealed-carry-in-texas/frequently-asked-questions/safest-handgun-revolvers-vs-semi-auto-pistols "Safest Handgun: Revolvers vs. Semi-Auto Pistols") and the laws governing the use of deadly force.

## <a name="plg_content_jumplinks1">The Texas LTC Training Course</a>

The Texas LTC training course is a key component of the LTC [application](/learn-about-ltc/license-to-carry-basics/step-by-step "License to Carry - Step-by-Step") [process](/texas-online-license-to-carry-class/the-ultimate-guide-to-texas-ltc-certification "The Ultimate Guide to Texas LTC Certification"). The course covers a range of topics, including firearms safety, the use of deadly force, and the laws governing the carrying of firearms in Texas. You can take the course from a certified instructor in person or [online](/classes/permitless-carry-course-online "Permitless Carry Course Online"), but you must successfully complete the course before you can submit your LTC application.

## <a name="plg_content_jumplinks2">Submitting Your Texas LTC Application</a>

Once you've completed the Texas LTC training course, you'll be ready to submit your LTC application. You can submit your application online or in person at your local Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) office. You'll need to provide proof of your training course completion, as well as your personal identification and a recent passport-style photo.

## <a name="plg_content_jumplinks3">The Texas LTC Application Process</a>

After you've submitted your LTC application, the Texas DPS will conduct a background check and review your application to determine whether you're eligible to receive an LTC. If your application is approved, you'll receive your LTC in the mail and be able to carry your firearm in accordance with state law.

## <a name="plg_content_jumplinks4">Renewing Your Texas LTC</a>

Your Texas LTC is valid for five years, after which you'll need to renew it. To renew your LTC, you'll need to complete the renewal process, which typically involves submitting a renewal application and undergoing a background check.

## <a name="plg_content_jumplinks5">Conclusion</a>

Obtaining a Texas LTC is an important step for any responsible gun owner in the state. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll be well on your way to obtaining your LTC and enjoying the peace of mind that comes with being in compliance with state law.
