How to Take the Texas LTC Class Online – What You Need to Know

If you’re ready to earn your Texas License to Carry (LTC), taking the class online is one of the most convenient options. But before you enroll, it’s essential to choose a course that is officially approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).

At Precision Carry LTC, we want to make sure you have the most accurate, up-to-date information about the LTC process—whether you’re training with us or another trusted provider.

Choosing a DPS-Approved Online LTC Course

To take the Texas LTC class online, you must use a provider that is certified by the Texas DPS. Not all courses you find online meet this requirement, so always verify the provider’s credentials before signing up.

While there are many options available, make sure you choose a provider that clearly states their DPS approval, like we do here at Precision Carry LTC.

How the Online Texas LTC Course Works

The online LTC course is:

Required by Texas law to be between 4 and 6 hours long
Self-paced, so you can complete it on your own schedule
Available on any device: desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone
Designed to be accessible and easy to follow, even for beginners

Most online courses are set at the minimum 4-hour requirement, and the content is straightforward. Pass rates are very high, and there’s no need to stress about complicated exams.

Why Take the LTC Class Online?

Texans are increasingly choosing the online LTC course because:

It fits around your schedule
You can learn from anywhere, anytime
No need to attend a classroom session

Whether you’re a busy professional or just prefer to train at home, the online option offers flexibility without sacrificing quality.

What Happens After the Course?

Once you complete the online training, your next step is to submit your official LTC application through the Texas DPS website.

Here’s a quick overview of the process:

Complete the LTC online course with a DPS-approved provider (like Precision Carry LTC)
Receive your certificate of training (LTC-104 form)
Submit your LTC application on the DPS website
Upload your LTC-104 and any other required documents
Schedule and complete the proficiency demonstration (range qualification)

Your course provider should guide you through this entire process—we certainly do at Precision Carry LTC.

How Long Does the DPS Take to Process Your LTC?

After submitting your completed application and all required documents, Texas DPS has up to 60 days to issue your license.

✅ Tip: The 60-day timeline starts only after all paperwork is submitted. If documents are missing or incomplete, expect delays.

If your application is denied, DPS will notify you by mail and explain the reason. Denials are often related to issues on your criminal background check. If this happens, you have the right to appeal.
