KR Training has been involved with the Texas CHL program since its inception in September 1995. Our instructors were in the first instructor training classes that DPS offered, and instructors Karl Rehn, Penny Riggs, and John Kochan have been active members and officers in the Texas Concealed Handgun Instructor Association. Starting in 1999, Tom Schaefer will be teaching most of the KR Training CHL classes. He will be offering both the new permit and renewal classes each month. Check our schedule for upcoming class dates.
Student information can be found here.
The classroom portion will take 10-12 hours and will cover the Texas Penal Code, the CHL law, conflict resolution and safe storage of firearms. Limited class time is allocated to teach basic shooting skills. If you believe that you cannot pass the shooting test (below) with a 70% or greater score, let us know when you enroll in the CHL course. We will be happy to schedule an additional range session with you prior to your range qualification to work on your shooting skills. If you have very limited experience with firearms and are considering applying for a permit, you should enroll in one of our basic handgun courses.
For a new permit: you must submit a Request for Application card to DPS. These cards will be available from KR Training, gun shops, sporting goods stores, and others. Upon receipt of the card DPS will either send you a CHL application or inform you of the reason that your application was rejected. Before returning your CHL application to DPS you must successfully complete a Handgun Proficiency Course which will include a written and a shooting test.

For a renewal permit: you need to take a renewal class before your permit expires. The earliest you can take the class is 6 months prior to the permit's expiration. DPS will send you a renewal notice about 3 months before your permit will expire. The renewal class is a 4 hour class that will involve a written and a shooting test. Need to change your address?
