The Texas License to Carry handgun Shooting Qualification is not the best qualification in the world but it is a good baseline to start. The Texas LTC Qualification was designed so the average person could pass the qualification with very limited instruction. If you are interested in taking your Texas LTC please Contact Us or visit our Texas LTC Class page.
The following course of fire is required for proficiency demonstration. To successfully qualify, shooters must
complete this course with a minimum score of 70% (175 out of possible 250). For License to Carry
Instructors, the minimum score is 90% (225 out of possible 250). If any malfunctions are encountered, the
shooter will work through the problem and finish the course of fire. If rounds are held (not fired within the
allotted time), the shots will be scored as misses. All courses of fire will be scored on a standard B-27 target.
The B-27 target must be 24 inches by 45 inches and may be one of four colors; black, blue, red, or green. The
target shall be scored utilizing the 5, 4, 3 scoring diagram in the upper left hand corner.
