Overview
This is the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) Peace Officers & Open Carry Training #8837 course offered in an online training course format for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

With the close of the 2015 Legislature, Texas became the 43rd state in the U.S. to clarify that Texas residents had the right to open carry a handgun in most government and public spaces. This legislative enactment expanded the rights of qualified Texas residents who already enjoyed concealed carry rights, and set some limitations. Our course discusses enforcement issues, as well as the basis for these rights, the responsibilities of citizens as they exercise their rights, and the duties of peace officers in guaranteeing these rights.
Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive two (2) hours of course credit.
