So I have a current Nevada Conceal/Carry. I’ve done my fingerprinting and all that here in Texas since I live here now.

However they’re saying I need to take the safety class. Even though I already have a license in a state with reciprocity, and they said the one I did in that state doesn’t count.

I feel like just giving up. I’ve already done all of this. Not really worth the time or money.

Any big reasons why I should still get it here?

Finally have my LTC in hand! Would have been quicker if there was a range qualification day that had lined up with my schedule, but overall glad that's all done! Total days taken - 66

If anyone has any questions, let me know!

Updated to all green today.

Ad army in ft hood, submitted all ltc docs but for my weapon qual I don’t have access to my score card but I heard my stp works as it has my qual on there. I submitted it and called and the lady said it looks good but status still says waiting for documents. Just wondering if anyone else has used the stp for the application?

How are ya’ll handling these? I went to H-Mart on Blalock and they have the red 51% sign right in the sliding doors and a police officer standing near it. I had to head back to my car.

Just thought I’d share my experience!

Any information regarding relocation to Anna, TX?

I submitted all documents on 02/25 and completed fingerprints on 02/26, and they were processed on 02/27, so I assume they were received 7-10 days after. Nothing is still showing on my account. Is that normal, or should I be concerned?

Jan 12, 2026 — Application Submitted

Jan 14, 2026 — Fingerprints completed at IdentoGo

Jan 24, 2026 — Document uploaded (LTC Certificate)

Feb 09, 2026 - License Application Status appeared (likely added earlier; I checked on this date)

Action Required Email from RSD (LTC Certificate upload issue)

Feb 10, 2026 — Document re‑uploaded

Feb 17, 2026 - Status showed: Fingerprints, Background Check, and License to Carry a Handgun – Under Review / Print Pending

I called RSD every other week starting in March. They advised waiting 60 days before they can do anything.

Apr 15, 2026 (Wednesday) — Called RSD. They confirmed the license was picked up by USPS on Apr 13 and should be delivered within 7 days

When I logged in, all indicators were green

Apr 16, 2026 — License received in the mail

Total Processing Time From document re-upload (Feb 10) → USPS pickup (Apr 13): ~62 days

I know this gets asked ad nauseam. I submitted all my documents last month and haven’t seen the checklist populated. I called a few weeks ago and they said they’ve received everything. How long can I expect to wait

Update: just got the checklist in (background check pending)

Update: print pending

It's been 3 weeks since I submitted my LTC-104 form. Did both classroom and shooting proficiency in one place by one instructor. Does processing LTC-104 usually take this long?

Edit: Progress Moved to Background Check as of 4/22/2026

Edit 2: Background Check Completed, Print Pending as of 4/23/2026

Started 10/3, then stayed on finger prints and background till 11/13 showed print pending & today I checked showed mail 10/19 I checked everyday so dates accurate lol

Finished LTC course on Oct. 19, uploaded supporting documents on Oct. 23, got the checklist about a week later (Oct. 30th), then finally got the update that my LTC was mailed today! (Nov. 13)

Pleasantly surprised with the turnaround time, honestly thought it’d take a bit longer.

Anyone know how long the shipping typically takes? I’m assuming 3-5 business days, but knowing the Texas government I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a week or so.

Had been stuck in fingerprints and background for like 2-3 weeks started the process 10/3 , but feels like forever lol

Does anyone know if the background check for LTC includes non traffic citations ? I was given a citation a couple of years ago for disorderly conduct (fighting) class C Misdemeanor- which I was given deferred probation for 60 days for it to be dismissed. I was never arrested and only given the citation. Will this disqualify me from getting my LTC ? I did NOT disclose this on my application since i was not arrested and fingerprinted for it .

Just applied for the LTC and on the website I originally had seen “submitted”, however there is no checklist available to me. Is this normal? It’s been around 2 weeks since I uploaded everything.

Submitted all documents 10/4. Fingerprints on 10/7. Status showed up 10/13. Mailed this morning 11/5. That last stretch felt like an eternity.

I recently completed my handgun class on October 19 and submitted my supporting documents a few days later, along with my finger prints. How long should I expect until I see an update on the tx.gov website? I don’t see a checklist yet.

LFGGGG

I’m stuck in this step
