Sheepdog Response is offering Texas License To Carry (LTC) services!
Now you can use any upcoming SDR Protector or Pistol / Protector Course to demonstrate proficiency for getting your LTC!
The Texas DPS requires every student to complete 4 hours of online training to be issued their LTC-101 certificate upon completion.
By completing the online portion prior to your Protector/Pistol course, you’ll save a $100 on your live training.
Your Protector 1 or Pistol 1 course will count towards your proficiency demonstration (shooting qualification and range instruction with an LTC instructor); getting you closer to obtaining your LTC permit.
Clicking “Register Now,” will route you to the Official Texas DPS website to complete registration and access the online training for $65.
Anyone can take the online LTC class. The material covered applies to anyone interested in firearms and goes over firearm safety, Texas law, federal law, de-escalation techniques, methods of carry and more. Although anyone can take the online LTC class, Texas DPS has age requirements for receiving the License to Carry. With some exceptions, the age requirement for the LTC is 21 years old. Anyone that take the class after their 19th birthday, will be able to submit the training to DPS for the LTC when they are 21. This is because the certificate is valid for 2 years.
Starting now, you can use any SDR Protector or Pistol Course to demonstrate proficiency for getting your LTC! Once you register and pay the fee (button below), you’ll get an email with a promo code for $100 off our Protector, or Pistol course.
Every LTC applicant, with some exceptions, must complete the proficiency demonstration after the completion of the online LTC class. Take the online training requirement through Texas DPS and get your LTC-101 certificate.
Bring your LTC-101 certificate to your Protector Course, completing the course will count towards your Proficiency Demonstration with the signature of one of our instructors.
Students have 2 years from the completion of this online LTC class to get the proficiency demonstration completed and submitted to Texas DPS with the LTC application.
The proficiency demonstration consists of the shooting qualification and range instruction. This is done in person with any LTC instructor in Texas. Please contact Sheepdog Response LLC for information about scheduling a proficiency demonstration after this online class is completed.
Active duty military and veterans with range cards that are dated from within the last 10 years may be exempt from the proficiency demonstration and only need to complete this online class. The range cards will be submitted to Texas DPS after the LTC application is completed.
While we would love to have you come to one of our Protector 1 Courses, you can take your certificate to anyone who provides the Proficiency Demonstrations in Texas.
Yes! The certificate issued at the successful completion of this course is the Texas DPS LTC-101 certificate and is valid for 2 years.
