There are many benefits to having a Texas LTC as opposed to constitutional carry.

A Texas License to Carry (LTC) offers benefits beyond permit less carry, including 30+ state reciprocity, faster firearm purchases (no NICS check), and legal carry in more locations like college campuses and certain government meetings. It acts as valid ID, provides legal protection against accidental trespass, and demonstrates responsible, trained gun ownership.

Key Texas LTC Benefits:

Reciprocity: Allows you to carry in other states that have agreements with Texas.
Faster Purchases: Acts as a background check exemption (NICS check bypass) when buying firearms from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL).
More Carry Locations: Allows carry in areas where permit less carry is restricted, such as9 specific, non-secured government buildings, and with fewer restrictions on campus carry.
Legal Protections & Ease: Provides a "one-time pass" (defense against prosecution) if you accidentally carry into a prohibited area and leave when asked. It also helps avoid delays during high-volume purchase times.
Law Enforcement Interaction: Shows officers you have passed a background check and completed training, which may lead to more favorable outcomes.
Valid Identification: The card serves as a valid photo ID in many situations.

Texas LTC

do i need a license to carry?

Now that the Firearms Carry Act of 2021—HB 1927, also known as Texas Constitutional Carry—passed, carrying guns without a Texas License to Carry (“LTC”) is becoming reality. If you’re wondering what that means for your existing LTC or if you should bother getting an LTC at all, the short answer is yes, an LTC is good to have. Read on for details about Texas Constitutional Carry, how to get your LTC, and why it’s such a great idea to have a license in the first place.

What Is the Texas License to Carry?

The Texas LTC is the permit that was required to carry a firearm, concealed or openly, until HB 1927 passed. Once HB 1927 went into effect, people legally allowed to own and carry firearms are able to carry their guns without a permit in Texas— to a point . This is where having your LTC comes in handy. The law doesn’t allow you to carry anywhere and everywhere. That means if you want extra freedom in where you can carry—including in other states—you’ll definitely need an LTC.

Getting your License to Carry is easy as long as you meet the state requirements. Basically, as long as you are legally allowed to own a firearm under state or federal law, you take a short course taught by a state-licensed LTC instructor and do some paperwork. The course includes classroom and range hours. Classroom hours can be taken online, instead of in person as long as they meet the state-mandated minimum of four hours. The virtual class is simple and straightforward and involves a series of videos and a 25-question test at the end.

Once you spend time on the classroom part of the course, you can move on to range time. A minimum of one hour of range time, ending with a live-fire test, is required by the State of Texas. Think of it as getting extra “trigger time” with a chance for some pointers from a firearms instructor. You need 50 rounds of ammunition (worth up to 5 points apiece) for the test and must score a minimum of a 70% score to pass. For those who are curious about it, other details include:

A B-27 target (silhouette target measuring 45 inches high and 24 inches wide)
250 possible points, 175 points minimum to pass
All shots are fired from the ready position, meaning there is no holster use
Shots are fired from three distances: 3 yards, 7 yards, and 15 yards

The cost for the course can vary by instructor and is separate from the fee you pay to the state to process your LTC. At the time of this writing, the processing fee the state charges is only $40.
