online courses
many online courses are available, you can do them at your own pace and in the privacy of your own home or even on your mobile phone wherever you may be, this may be the best way for you to get your Texas LTC (concealed carry permit), However some things to consider are;
when you get your LTC online you still have to seek out a state qualified instructor to do your shooting portion which will cost you more money depending on who you find to do it most instructors will ask you to show up to a regular scheduled class
or may want you to pay for their private time
