ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Obtaining a permit to carry a concealed handgun in the State of Texas requires a 10 hour Texas CHL course. The classroom portion will take 10-15 hours and will cover the Texas Penal Code, the CHL law, conflict resolution and safe storage of firearms. In addition, a 50 round Shooting Proficiency examination is required on the range. Limited class time is allocated to teach basic shooting skills. If you believe that you cannot pass the shooting test with a 70% or greater score, let us know when you enroll in the CHL course. We will be happy to schedule an additional range session with you prior to your range qualification to work on your shooting skills. If you have very limited experience with firearms and are considering applying for a permit, you should enroll in one of our Basic Handgun Courses.
