Yes, getting your handgun license training online is very much legit and fully legal but where is it in Texas law?   Check out for yourself go to Texas Government Code (GC) 411.188 where it states the following:

“A qualified handgun instructor or approved online course provider may administer the classroom instruction part of the handgun proficiency course."

See the video to see a copy of our certificate from Texas DPS as a “Approved Online Provider”.  

So just like the doing it in person it must be at least 4 hours of “Classroom” training.  The advantage of the online training is that you can do the “Classroom” training at home or anytime anywhere where you have a few minutes to spare.  So, you don’t have to waste one of your busy weekends of fun sitting in a classroom all day!  With CHL Online.Com training you can pause the training at any time and then pickup at the exact second you left off at so you don’t have to repeat anything.   This is one of our main advantages with CHLOnline.Com as you don’t have to complete a section before saving.  Shortest class time allowed by law, be it in person or online. We tailored the course to be extremely condensed where every single minute of the course was analyzed to be presented with the all the information in the least amount of time to be efficient as possible. 

  All of our online training content was review and approved by 3 different Texas DPS employees who work directly for the State of Texas!

Note, however, that all LTC applicants must be legal residents of Texas or another state.

Active Texas Military Members: Must provide current proof of service. Submit a copy of your LTC-100/LTC-101, military range scores, from within the preceding 10 years of your LTC application, can be used in place of the proficiency portion of the LTC-100/ LTC-101 (GC § 411.1881).
