Shooting Qualification (Range Portion) + Exemptions (If Applicable)
Most applicants complete an in‑person shooting qualification after finishing the online course. Some applicants may qualify for an exemption depending on documentation and current Texas DPS rules.
After your Texas LTC online course, this range step is usually next—unless you have documented exemption paperwork that meets DPS requirements.
What the shooting qualification typically includes
- 50 rounds at 3, 7, and 15 yards
- Passing score: 70% (175/250)
- Safe gun handling is evaluated throughout
Tip: If you’re new to shooting, schedule a short practice session before qualification day—confidence helps.

- Some correctional officers / jailers (depending on agency training documentation)

Important: exemptions aren’t automatic—Texas DPS determines eligibility based on your documentation and current requirements.
