We want to be clear and upfront about how First Shot Training earns support and why we link to the resources we do. Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, and this page explains what that means for you.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you use certain links on our site, First Shot Training may receive compensation if you enroll in a course or make a purchase through those qualifying links. This is always at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the provider. This support helps us keep creating helpful, educational content about safe and responsible carry in Texas.
Online Texas LTC Class and Texas Carry Academy
Our Online Texas LTC class, also commonly searched as the Online Texas CHL class, is provided by Texas Carry Academy, a third-party online LTC course provider. When you follow a link to begin the online class, you may be sent to Texas Carry Academy to handle enrollment, payment, and course access. Texas Carry Academy is not owned or operated by First Shot Training. They deliver the course and manage registration directly, and we simply point you toward a class that fits our focus on education and responsible firearm ownership.
Government and Official Resource Links
Throughout the site, we link to official resources such as the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and other government sources. We share these purely for education and your convenience. Official government links are not affiliate links, and First Shot Training does not receive any compensation when you use them.
Faith First Firearms
We also link to Faith First Firearms, a related firearm shop and FFL brand, for services such as firearm transfers, first-time buyer support, and other shop services. These are related-brand links provided for your convenience. They are not affiliate or sponsored links.
Our Approach to Recommendations
Our goal is always to recommend resources that fit our focus on safety, education, and responsible firearm ownership. We share what we believe may be genuinely helpful to you. As always, please make your own decisions and review the terms, policies, and requirements of any third-party provider before enrolling or purchasing.
