Constitutional Carry
Constitutional carry in Texas, also referred to as "permit-less carry," allows eligible individuals to carry a handgun in most public places without first obtaining a state-issued License to Carr
y (LTC).
The law, which went into effect on September 1, 2021, applies to both open and concealed carry. To carry a handgun under this law, individuals must generally meet the same federal and state requirements as those for obtaining an LTC, including being at least 21 years old and not having certain criminal convictions or legal prohibitions.

Veterans and Active Military
As a “shall issue” state, Texas provides a License to Carry (LTC) to eligible applicants regardless of their state of residence. The process is straightforward, and renewals can be completed online.
This is especially beneficial for military members and veterans, as a Texas LTC is recognized in over 30 states. You do not need to live in—or travel to—Texas to obtain or renew your license.
Simply complete the online course, submit your certification and proof of range proficiency, and apply through the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).

Non Residents
Non-residents may apply for a Texas License to Carry (LTC) by submitting an application, paying the required fees, and providing supporting documents, including Form LTC-6, two passport-style photos, and a copy of a valid out-of-state driver’s license or state-issued ID. Applicants must also complete the required training—either online or in person—and pass the range proficiency exam, which must be conducted in Texas by a licensed Texas firearms instructor.
