The Texas DPS requires several things to obtain a Texas Concealed Handgun License, an approved application, two affidavits, two fingerprint cards, two passport photos (without eyeglasses), the CHL-100 Certificate of Training, and the state’s fee of $140.00.

Step One:  The DPS

Go to the Texas Department of Public Safety Website: www.txdps.state.tx.us.  Follow the link to the Concealed Handgun License page.  All the rules and directions are available on the website.  Fill out the application online with the DPS.  Sign the affidavits through  E-Sign and E-Notary.   Pay the State application fee of $140.00.   The DPS will send you your application package and the book of Texas Concealed Handgun Laws.  Read the book before class.

Step Two:  Fingerprints and Passport Photos

Follow the link to set up an appointment for your fingerprints to be sent electronically to the DPS, or call them.   In Austin this is done by L-1 Identity Solutions by appointment only.  Contact them online at www.L1enrollment.com, or call (888) 467-2080. 

They have the following locations:

West Lake Place Office Park, 1515 South Capitol of Texas Hwy, Suite #114, Austin, Texas.  This is on Loop 360 South between Mo-Pac and Bee Caves on the East side of the road, north of Tres Amigos Mexican Restaurant.

Northeast Austin at 7901 Cameron Road, Building 2, Suite #144; Austin, Tx 78754. This is east of I35, just north of US183 on Cameron Road.

555 Round Rock West Drive, Building E, Suite #224; Round Rock, Tx 78681. This is west of I35, north of McNeil Drive.

You will send the receipt back to the DPS in your application package. Electronic fingerprints make for faster application processing.

You need two passport photos without eyeglasses (two prints of the same shot), signed by you and the photographer on the back.  The DPS application package will have full instructions and the cardboard passport photo holder to send back to the State. 

Step Three:  Pass my class and receive the Certificate of Training (CHL-100)

Step Four: Processing by DPS

Return your application package to the DPS with your Certificate of Training (CHL-100), the Passport photos and the receipt for your fingerprints.  The fingerprints will have been sent electronically to the State.  The State will process your application and your license should be issued within thirty days.
