Texan Defender

Great experience! I highly recommend taking Dan’s CHL class. He was very informative and extremely down to earth. He made the qualifying part as little stress as possible while still making sure all the shooters were proficient.

Great class! Could not have imagined a better instructor.
Came away from the class with a better undertanding of Texas laws and the overall liability of gun ownership.

Dan’s class was informative, to the point and went by quickly. He gave examples to understand certain laws and regulations and also has a great sense of humor!

Drive Your Truck To Class!!!
Took a CHL class from these guys yesterday. It is what it is. The state of Texas could probably condense the material down into 30 min but the class takes all day. I love the fact that Texas makes you shoot, but pretty much everyone passes.
Dan’s range is on his working ranch. It’s a great spot, unless you drove your car to class, you will need 4wd after rain and ground clearance anytime. I got stuck in the mud, had to back out and wait for other class members to come pick me up.
Took off a star for that because had I known I would have taken my SUV.

Great job! Took the CHL class with Dan, very informative and thought provoking. Dan was steadfast in his instruction of the roles and responsibilities we all have as licensed gun owners and the safety of all those involved. 4 – 6 classroom hours went by quicker than I anticipated, and the gun range was conducted in a safe yet not overbearing manner.

Awesome experience! Run very professionally, on time, and most of all safely.
I would recommend these guys to anyone.
Advise would be to show up early, lots of people signing up these classes are selling out. Which is a great problem to have if you ask me.
Sign up and you won’t be disappointed.

Dan has created the ultimate playground of a shooting range. (minus watermelons… but Dan said anytime I want to come back I can shoot one lol)
Hollywood-​inspired blood soaked zombies, clowns, skeet shooting, and clay targets.
The highlight of my shooting experience a bowling pinball setup where you can «bowl» with friends by shooting down pins — all beautifully placed on his green sunny ranch.
It was a wonderful Sunday with my friends playing shooting games outside in the country.
Dan (owner/​teacher) was so accommodating and understanding to our group for being so late for the Scifi-​Shootout we signed up for on Groupon. You can tell that he’s a nice guy– bad ass Texan gun enthusiast with a keen sense of humor.
There are 22s available to rent along with ammo, eye and ear protection for target practice. He even set up his skeet machine and clays for us!
I will NEVER go back to an indoor range as long as Dan is running his outdoor shooting range: ahem R*ds:. Paper targets? Boring…
Do yourself a favor this weekend call Dan up –
relieve some stress, go alone, grab some friends, get some sun and shoot some sh*t. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

This was nothing short of an awesome experience. Safely run, well informed, and as fun as it could be. My only suggestion is to put a port-​a-​pottie on the range for the gals. I have the luxury of going behind the embankment to take a leak but the gals need something a bit better than that. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I shot a 242 out of 250. A little disappointed in myself… :-(

My wife and I just took the CHL class October 5, and are extremely pleased! Dan and Rick ran a great CHL class. Both of them were extremely informative and taught us everything we needed to know to be safe, law abiding, concealed handgun citizens. The best part about the class was that Rick managed to keep 5 hours of laws and information interesting and even fun. The range portion was very well organized and every one of the 30 people in my class felt comfortable and completely safe with Dan and Rick running the range. I would 100% recommend Texan Defender to anyone looking to take their concealed handgun license class.

Awesome classes! I have been around guns before but had some anxiety about certain things. The instructors are super kind, patient, well informed, & really sincere about making sure everyone’s attended to & all questions answered without any grief. We had different skill levels & it was still a comfortable environment to learn. These guys know what they’re doing & have everyone’s best interest at heart. I highly recommend this to everyone interested in knowing their rights. Thanks Rick and Dan!

I took the beginner handgun class and then the certification class and thoroughly enjoyed both. The beginner class is for those who have no experience but also very helpful to those who have shot guns before. They were both entertaining and educational. It gave me a greater respect of guns and all the rules and regulations regarding weapons. It’s almost everything you ever wanted to know! The instructors are very knowledgeable and like what they do. They are adamant about safety and making sure that anyone is aware of what owning a gun is all about. They are well versed on the range safety and make it fun while continuously reminding us of caution. Thanks, guys for an excellent class!

I took their CHL class last weekend and was super happy with the class. It was very apparent that these instructors truly enjoy what they do and are very knowledgable on the subject; no need to worry about dozing off in their 10−15hr course! Great guys, great class and well worth the money!

When we first signed up for this 10 hour class we were excited, but as the date drew nearer I became as excited as I would be for a 24 hour class of drivers education. 10 hours is a long time to be anywhere! I was plesently surprised though. The class started a little slow, but that’s to be expected on a Saturday morning. Honestly, it was a wealth of information and presented in a thorough and entertaining way. The men who run this class know their stuff inside and out. Initially guns were a bit scary to me, which is why I think it’s important to learn and educate myself about them. The shooting range was very close, a good set up, and the instruction was clear and precise. I was good to go for the entire class until the last hour when I was like «let’s take this test already and get the hell out of dodge». All in all — an excellent class and I would recommend it to a friend.
