State Curriculum
The four required modules.
Texas DPS requires all License to Carry applicants complete instruction across four core areas. Every class — in-person or online — covers each one in full.
Why Chief Shaw
Real experience. Straight talk.
Chief-level experience
Over two decades in Texas law enforcement, including active service as a Police Chief. You're not learning theory — you're learning what actually happens.
Focused on you
Small class sizes and one-on-one coaching mean you leave confident with your firearm — not just certified on paper.
No fluff. State-compliant.
Curriculum built directly from the Texas DPS course outline. You get everything the state requires and nothing you don't need.
"Chief Shaw made a complicated topic feel simple. I walked in nervous and walked out knowing exactly what to do — legally and physically. Best class I've taken."
