Texas Concealed Carry Legal Questions
Do I still need a Texas License to Carry (LTC) if Constitutional Carry is legal?
Yes, thousands of Texans obtain an LTC every month. An official LTC gives you multi-state reciprocity in 37 other states, allows you to skip background check waiting lines at gun stores, and provides enhanced legal protection in designated carry zones.
What is the Texas shooting qualification test?
The test consists of firing 50 total rounds at an official B-27 silhouette target: 20 rounds at 3 yards, 20 rounds at 7 yards, and 10 rounds at 15 yards. A score of 175 points out of 250 (70%) is required to pass.
