LESSON 1: Applying for a renewal

If you already have a Texas License to Carry or LTC, then you must renew it before it expires. To do this, you will need to reapply with the state of Texas. You can start the process by logging into your account with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) or visiting a local Texas DPS office.

When applying for a renewal, you will need to provide certain information about yourself and your previous license. This includes your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, previous license number, and any other information that may be requested by the DPS.

Once you have submitted your application and all necessary documents, you will receive a receipt. This receipt will contain the amount of your fee and any additional information about your renewal. You should keep this receipt for your records and as proof of payment. 

To complete the renewal process, you must pay the fee within 30 days from the date on the receipt. Once the fee is paid, your renewal application will be processed by the DPS. You will be notified if there is an issue or delay with your renewal process. 

When your license has been renewed, you will be sent a new LTC card with a new expiration date. Be sure to keep your license current as it must be renewed every 5 years to remain valid.
