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 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.

Generally, all firearms purchases and transfers, including private party transactions and sales at gun shows, must be made through a California licensed dealer under the Dealer's Record of Sale (DROS) process.

In TX, a handgun cannot be purchased by anyone under the age of 21. He wouldn't be able to get a concealed carry for it until he is 21. However, a person over 18 but under 21 can be gifted a handgun as long as it remains in their home.
And the state does not register firearms to an owner. Other states, such as Illinois or New Jersey, require gun owners to register with the state. In addition, they must document any firearms in their possession. Our great State of Texas holds no Texas Gun Registration.
