CHL New License Information

Welcome!

The moment that you walk into the Safe Gun Academy class room you realize that you are in a different training environment. We have created a unique course structured to accommodate people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and abilities.

Safe Gun Academy conducts our CHL classes in executive meeting rooms in hotels. These are comfortable, clean, well lighted, quiet conference rooms where the students are not distracted by range gunfire all day.

Safe Gun Academy is offering affordable, quality, and professional firearms training in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. We offer several different courses, including monthly Texas Concealed Handgun certification classes (first time applicants and renewals), basic gun safety training, and private shooting lessons for men and women.

CHL Class Information (First Time Applicants)

Our Texas Concealed Handgun License Class is held on a Saturday or Sunday three or four times a month from 7:00AM - 6:00PM. The classes are held at different locations in the DFW area. Check the Class Dates (New License) selection on the left side of the page for the exact dates and locations. The Texas Concealed Handgun License Class is a One Day Class. We will provide you with the Student Application Packet. If you already have your Application Packet bring it to class with you. You do not need to have the Application Packet, or be registered with the state to attend the CHL Class.

The cost of the Texas Concealed Handgun License Class is $120.00. This price includes:

  • Taking your fingerprints on the DPS and FBI cards.
  • Notarizing your affidavits.
  • Taking your (2) passport photographs.
  • Classroom fee.
  • Range fee (target provided).
  • Hearing and eye protection.
  • Lunch Provided.

The state mandates that the CHL course be not less than 10 hours and not more than 15 hours long. Our complete class is from 7:00AM - 6:00PM (we provide lunch).

This CHL course is not designed to teach you how to shoot. The CHL Shooting Proficiency section of the class is to test your ability to safely handle and shoot the handgun. You will be required to pass with a score of 175 out of a possible 250 points (70%). You will need to bring your handgun and 1 box (50 rounds) of ammunition to the hotel and leave the handgun locked in your vehicle in the parking lot. If you do not have a handgun we can furnish you with a semi-automatic handgun at no charge (you will have to furnish your own ammunition).

Check the CHL New License Class Schedule page for times, dates, and locations.
