Wasn't the most exciting thing I've ever done, but it works and was easy and I did learn a lot.
Jacob R.
It works, got my license in about 2 weeks from the DPS office.
Joel R.
You still have to do the shooting proficiency after, this covers just the online. But good price.
Donna T.
highly recommend this course for anyone getting their license.

I turned 18 6 mo ago. I saw on the news tx changed the rules. The course in no cap got my carry permit.
David M.
Like others said... Not the most fun, but it works. State courses are never going to be a thrill ride.
Thomas M.
I got a $10 refund just for sending them a copy of my Military ID. If you are military you are exempt from the shooting qual.
Shondelle M.
Good. Did the job, not sure what else to say.
Anthony R.
Signed up all 3 of my daughters. 25 bucks each was too good to pass up.
Edward P.
Being able to stop and go made this worth it. The course works, and the support gentleman was helpful.
