In-Person Texas License to Carry — Houston-Area 6-Hour LTC Course

On the flat coastal plain south of Houston, the In-Person TX License To Carry course brings a focused, no-nonsense day of classroom law and live-fire practice to 1204 FM 1462, Alvin, TX 77511. Designed for students 18 and older who already handle a handgun safely, this six-hour session mixes state-mandated instruction with a controlled range drill: fifty rounds fired from 3, 7 and 15 yards to verify accuracy and comfort under the clock.

The morning sits in a compact classroom where instructors walk through Basic Firearms Safety, safe storage and handling, and de-escalation strategies, then pivot into Texas-specific material: Use of Force laws, civil liability, open and campus carry rules, and the practical steps for submitting a full License To Carry application. A guest presentation by US Law Shield covers civil liability in a courtroom context, helping bridge technical shooting skills with legal reality. The course size—capped at eight students—keeps the instruction personal and fast to the point.

After lunch, students move to the range for the live-fire requirement. The drill is straightforward but exacting: three distances, fifty total shots, and an emphasis on deliberate, repeatable results rather than rapid fire. Plan to bring your own handgun and magazines if you have them; the school can supply a firearm and ammunition for $30. Because the State requires prior safe operation of a pistol, this is not a "learn to shoot" class—new shooters should enroll first in the Basic Handgun or Refresher class referenced on the instructor's website.

Practical notes for visitors: the address places you in Alvin’s Gulf Coast prairie environment, within easy driving distance of Houston for overnight stays. Parking is generally available on site; pre-registration and pre-payment are required to hold a seat. Bring hearing and eye protection if you own them, and be prepared to present identification for the LTC application process. The operator also offers full service LTC application and fingerprint scheduling for an additional fee.

Why book this course? For Texans who carry or plan to, the class compresses legal grounding, instructor feedback, and a live-fire qualification into a single day—ideal for busy schedules. It’s also a chance to pair classroom clarity with immediate range metrics so you leave with not just a certificate but a clear sense of your competence and the paperwork steps that follow. If you’re serious about lawful, confident carry in the Houston area, this is the practical, state-aligned path forward.

Seats move; pre-register through the booking link to reserve a spot. If unsure about pistol fundamentals, complete the Basic Handgun course or schedule a private refresher. Bring patience, a willingness to learn, and paperwork for the LTC application so you can submit your application with confidence and understand follow-up timelines.
