No, he does not have to take the course. When I asked DPS about this the lady on the phone told me they don’t care about the hunters ed. You just need a valid license ...
May I ask if you have received a social security number? On another thread referenced above it was mentioned that it helps in the process. My friend doesn’t have one.

I was thinking that he would need to take a course, but wanted to be sure. Being an old timer, I never had to take one.

I am speaking from experience because I am here in Texas as a student on F1 visa and I have my LTC and have purchase a firearm before. This is information directly from the horses mouth.
Did you have to take a hunter safety course in order to get a Texas hunting license? Just want to make sure I let him know all of the steps involved. Thanks again.

Chas.
Well, since I am not familiar with how DPS defines some of those terms,
1. Is a student visa holder a non-immigrant or an immigrant?
2. How do you know if someone is eligible as a non-immigrant?

Re: Student Visa?

So if my friend gets a Texas hunting license, he can then buy and own a gun? I guess he would have to first take a hunter safety course to get a hunting license?
Would that also qualify him to be allowed to apply for a LTC?

Student Visa?

Seems like this is my year to receive questions that I have never been asked before.
I met a young man from England who is here on a F1 Student Visa. He wants to buy a gun and get a LTC. Not sure what the law is on either of those. I know that permanent resident legal aliens can do both, but not sure about student visa holders.
Thanks in advance.
