Texas Handgun Training offers a variety of firearms training classes including the Texas License to Carry a Handgun Class, NRA firearms classes, as well as specalized firearms classes.  Classes range from basic skills courses for people with little or no shooting experience, to more advanced self-defense oriented classes. 

Texas License to Carry a Handgun Course:

This is the course that is required to obtain a license to carry a handgun in Texas.  It was previously known as a Texas Concealed Handgun License, but the name was changed because of the passage of the open-carry Bill in 2015.  This course consists of four hours of classroom training, plus a twenty-five question exam.  The Course also include a shooting proficiency demonstration by the applicant that involves the firing of 50 rounds of ammunition.  The firing lines are at three yards (20 rounds), seven yards (20 rounds) and fifteen yards (10 rounds).  Applicants must score 70% (175 points) to qualify.
