The minimum age requirements for Texas LTC are:

• Non-residents - Can apply with out-of-state ID and proof of residency

You can take the online course from anywhere, but the shooting proficiency demonstration must be completed in Texas with a qualified instructor.

Several factors can disqualify you from obtaining a Texas LTC:

• Class C misdemeanors - Generally don't disqualify
• Deferred adjudication - May be eligible depending on circumstances
