If you already have a concealed handgun license (CHL) which is now known as your LTC, it will need to be renewed every five years.
How long is the Texas LTC valid? Initial licenses are valid for four years. Renewal licenses are valid for five years.
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.
The License to Carry a Handgun service allows you to apply for, renew, or check the status of a handgun license or instructor certification online with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
YOU MUST HAVE A PERMIT THAT IS NOT EXPIRED OR IS RECENTLY EXPIRED TO BE ELIGIBLE. You must complete the renewal application online prior to appearing in person at the Probate Court. To do so, click here: Online Weapons Carry License Application.
As of 2021, Texas law no longer requires people to have a license to carry (LTC) to carry a handgun in most public places. Texans can still get a license to carry if they wish. See the Texas State Law Library page for more.
Additionally, LTC holders have a one-year grace period after the expiration date to renew their licenses. However, individuals must start over as new applicants if not renewed within one year after expiration.
DPS will make every effort to issue your license within 60 days of receiving the completed application packet. If the application is incomplete or requires additional information to complete the background check, you will be notified in the manner you selected on your application.
