Application Photo Update:

Texas Residents may now elect to use their Driver's License Photo on the Concealed Handgun License.   As a result of this new convenient option, CAPS has decided to no longer provide photos effective October 1, 2012.

Non Residents who need a photo may obtain a photo at places such as Walgreens, CVS or Walmart.  It has also been heard that the FAST locations are now offering a photo service, but keep in mind that DPS standards for the photos are very strict on clarity of the photos, so make sure your photos are of good quality and choose a reliable source for those photos.

What Our Clients Say
"Attended and completed our CHL course with Julianna and John, and we have to say it was a wonderful class. They covered all the basics for licensing and my wife (Madison) looks forward to shooting with "a girl and a gun" club, as well as I eventually joining some sort of guy club. Madison also looks forward to customizing her glock, THANK YOU GUYS A BUNCH, AWESOME PEOPLE!!!!"
James/Madison M. (Fort Hood)




"John and Julianna are the best. The range and the class were run in a very professional way. If you are apprehensive at all about taking this class don't be. I was a renewal and if I had known about them the first go round I would taken my initial CHL with them. Hope to see them on my next renewal. I have numerous friends with CHLs; I will recommend you to them for their next class. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!"
