If you’re 18, 19, or 20 and living in Texas, you may have heard that permitless carry is legal—but that doesn’t mean you should skip getting your License to Carry (LTC). In fact, if you’re serious about protecting yourself and doing it the right way, the LTC isn’t just helpful—it’s a smart, strategic move.
Can 18-Year-Olds Get a Texas LTC?
Yes. Thanks to recent legal changes, 18–20-year-olds can now obtain a Texas LTC just like those 21 and over. You’ll need to take the state-required training and demonstrate your shooting proficiency, but the process is streamlined and fully available online.
The LTC is not just a document—it’s a declaration that you’re trained, responsible, and informed.
Why Bother with an LTC if You Can Already Carry?

Here’s why thousands of young Texans are still opting for the license:
- You can carry in more locations legally
- You gain legal protection and faster police interactions
- You get reciprocity in 30+ other states
- It demonstrates to law enforcement that you’ve taken official training
- It builds your confidence and legal awareness
Plus, if you ever travel outside Texas or want to carry in restricted zones where LTC is still required, your license has your back.
The Online LTC Course is Built for You
Whether you’re starting college, working your first job, or planning your career, life is already busy enough. The Texas Online LTC Course is:

Legal Training = Real Responsibility
Carrying a handgun comes with serious responsibility. The LTC training teaches you more than just where you can carry. It shows you:
- When force is justified (and when it isn’t)
- How to avoid legal trouble during traffic stops or public interactions
- What signage and zones are off-limits
- How to carry safely and store your firearm legally
Texas law is clear—and so is our training. This isn’t a crash course. It’s the real deal for people who want to do things right.
