Texas has changed the name of the Concealed Handgun License (CHL) to License To Carry ( LTC ).

After the class , there will be a short multiple choice/ T/F test and a shooting test. The shooting test is a timed test and covers accuracy , safe handling , and following directions . B27 targets will be used .
