Complete The Online LTC/CHL Class Complete the self paced online class. Come and go as needed. Each section is roughly 15 minutes. You are immediately given access to your DPS LTC-104 (Formerly called a LTC-101 if issued prior to May 1st 2024).
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.
Yes, online courses are legal and legitimate. GC 411.188 as included in Texas License to Carry and Handgun Laws issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety states (page 17):
The firearm must be unloaded. The firearm and any ammunition cannot be readily accessible from the passenger compartment. If the vehicle does not have a separate compartment from the driver's compartment, the firearm must be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
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.
What Happens if Your Texas LTC Expires? If your Texas LTC expires, you have one year to renew it. After one year, you must start the application process over again as a new applicant, including taking the required training course.

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.
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.
You can apply for a renewal online, by mail, or in person at your local DPS office. To apply online, you will need to provide your current CHL number, a valid email address, and a valid credit card. For more information on the renewal process, visit the DPS website.
