FAQ
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.
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.
The Texas License to Carry Proficiency Test is not a difficult shooting test to pass. It is a timed test designed with plenty of time to take your shots accurately. You will be shooting at a B-27 target. B27 targets are 24"x45" and come in many colors.
Texas doesn't have a waiting period for gun purchases. Purchases through a federally licensed gun dealer will lead to a criminal background check that verifies that the buyer can own a gun.
Most background checks are resolved instantly, but investigations can currently last up to 90 days. There is no evidence that waiting periods reduce suicides, homicides, or mass shootings.
Some states allow an applicant to complete an application online, while others require an in-person visit to the office of the respective issuing authority. There are even states that require the applicant provide a list of non-related character references.
