Not exactly…. There is one state with a lifetime LTC, the DPS department is required to do a big check every 5 years, its done automatically. Their computer system kicks out a list for those needing their 5 year big check and it goes through the process. All without the LTC holder having to do a thing. It’s up to the DPS to do the Bg checks. As long as it’s written into law that DPS is required to do the checks, then our LTC will continue to bypassNICs
I also would pay $25 just to never have to fool with it again!I would pay $25 for a lifetime LTC...
I didn't know about the Lower Colorado River Authority, but I did know about schools and restaurants. Since I often visit schools (recruitment), that was a big one for me.Opinion only...
Why You Need a Texas LTC - U.S. LawShield
If you’re wondering what that means for your existing LTC or if you should bother getting an LTC at all, the short answer is yes, an LTC is good to have. Read on for details about Texas Constitutional Carry, how to get your LTC, and why it’s such a great idea to have a license in the first place.

Old guys say no, because they're gonna die soon.
Young guys are split - some say yes, because they're tired of the stupidity of continued renewals, others say "no" because they don't want to pay more to exercise a "right"
I'd much rather see changes to the permitless carry law, to remove force-of-law behind no-guns signs (they can still ask you to leave, and if you refuse you are then committing trespass, and I could even get behind bumping it up to criminal trespass with a firearm being a high level misdemeanor if you don't leave when told) AND remove the entire list of prohibited places on the state level. Then you could actually exercise your "right" without a government permission slip and paying your dues to the king.
The LTC could remain, for the sole benefit of it being a "NICS bypass card" or "reciprocity card" but there should be no difference between how / where you carry with an LTC vs permitless carry within the state.

I do agree, additional improvements need to be made to the constitutional carry act. However, The sole purpose now of a LTC is for NICs Bypass, Expidtied Captiol entry, and for reciprocity.
Until we can convince the other 29 states, and territories to go with Permitless carry, we will always need a LTC. (If you want to travel with your gun, enter the capitol quickly, or bypass NICs when you buy a gun)
I don’t want to have to renew every 5 years. It’s a hassle, a PITA.
I would also like to see LTC’s, lifetime or otherwise be free. So I wonder how many of those that balked at paying for a lifetime, would get a lifetime if it were free?
