CONCEALED HANDGUN PERMITS

Concealed Handgun Permits are not issue by any local law enforcement agency. In order to receive one of these permits the citizen must contact the Texas Department of Public Safety. You can pick up an application packet from most DPS offices or gun and sporting goods stores, complete the contents and mail it back to the DPS. Two of the main requirements are to be fingerprinted and to have and extensive background check conducted by the DPS. You will receive the step by step instructions after the packet is mailed back to you.
