The LTC is absolutely still worth it in Texas, or really any state with PLC (permitless carry). I am 100% a supporter of PLC, and I am glad that Texas has come on board. It allows anyone who realizes the need to carry for their own protection to immediately start doing it, legally.
Conclusion. In conclusion, obtaining a Texas handgun license is a simple process that can provide many benefits. The application process can be completed online or in person and the processing time is usually no more than 60 days.
