The short answer is “yes.” Even though Texas is a permitless carry state, renewing your LTC is a good idea. We will cover what you need to know to keep your LTC current so you can protect yourself and your loved ones without interruption.
An initial CHL expires on the license holder's first birthday following the four-year anniversary of the issuance of the license. In other words, an intial license is valid for four (4) years, and in many cases, for some additional months. All renewed licenses are valid for five (5) years.
To renew your Texas LTC you will not need to take a class or submit fingerprints again. You simply renew online on the DPS website by logging in as a “returning user”. You can renew up to 6 months early, if you try any earlier the renewal link won't be there when you log in.

Can I have a gun in my car in Texas? The Texas Motorist Protection Act (HB 1815), effective as of September 1, 2007, permits any law-abiding Texas resident the legal right to carry a handgun inside their motor vehicle in Texas (without a Handgun License to Carry) or any other permit.
For concealed carry, the handgun may be carried anywhere on or about your person (e.g., pocket, purse, boot, etc.) so long as the handgun is wholly concealed. So, what does this actually mean? As long as no part of the handgun is visible, the law considers it legally canceled.
Non-residents legally eligible to possess firearms can open carry in Texas, provided they meet the same age, eligibility, and holster requirements.
