About Texas LTC
DPS administers the License to Carry (LTC) Program under the authority of the Texas Government Code Chapter 411, Subchapter H. DPS licenses individuals to carry handguns within Texas, evaluates the eligibility of applicants through criminal history background checks and monitors those currently licensed to ensure their continued eligibility. DPS also trains and certifies instructors who teach the required course to applicants.
About TxHGA
The Texas Handgun Association began as the Texas Concealed Handgun Instructor Association in 1997, one year after the Texas concealed handgun law, now the license to carry (LTC) law, went into effect. The association’s membership initially consisted of instructors trained by the Texas Department of Public Safety and licensed to teach Texas residents to legally carry handguns under the law.
In 2003, the association expanded its membership to include license holders and anyone interested in carrying a handgun for self defense and changed its name to the Texas Concealed Handgun Association. Then in 2019, the members voted to remove “Concealed” from the name, since Texas recognizes both concealed and open carry, and became the Texas Handgun Association. Currently TxHGA has more than 1,500 membership. The specific objectives and purposes of TxHGA are:
- To promote the continuation and improvement of the Texas License to Carry (LTC) Law.
- To represent the standards and concerns of members to the general public, news media, Texas Department of Public Safety and legislators.
- To promote responsible firearms safety, ownership and use in our communities.
- To provide current information to members about the laws, lesson plans and topics related to the License to Carry program.
- To promote high standards of instruction and training.
- To support the right of responsible, law-abiding citizens to own, keep and lawfully carry firearms for personal protection.

"You could say Constitutional Carry is as simple as carrying without a permit…but you’d be wrong. There’s a reason why gun owners refer to this law as 'complicated carry'—it can be an easy trap with severe penalties for the uninformed and irresponsible. Don’t be one...
Old Ammo by George “Bulldog” Pena
BULLDOG’S CORNER Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots. Let's talk “old Ammo”. If you're like me you still have some ammo that some might call old. I mean our old hollow points, .357, .44 etc. We used to have...
First shot fears by Kari Grayson
Teaching new shooters is my passion and I love being able to empower women, especially, to realize that shooting can be fun and not as scary as perhaps they imagined. Often, I have women in my classes that are nervous, scared, maybe even “encouraged” by husbands to...
Senior CEO: Starting a Home-Based Business after Retirement by Carla Lopez
One of the great things about retirement is that you no longer have to answer to someone else’s demands or adhere to their deadlines. At first, the release of pressure is likely to be so euphoric you may be loath to do anything for the first few weeks, or even longer....
Vehicle Gun by George “Bulldog” Pena
BULLDOG’S CORNER Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots. I've always thought it was a good idea to have a spare weapon in my vehicle. In my pick-up it's always been a lever action 30-30 but in the wife's car I have a...
