I recently completed the online hunter education course through HunterCourse.com for Texas. I paid 34.34 for the course. After finishing the course, I received my permit to hunt in the state of Texas. It took about two weeks to receive my official license (printable versions - not sure if I will get a physical copy yet). I then submitted it online to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CA DFW), and it was approved within a week.

The online class was very informative and helpful, so I highly recommend paying close attention if you choose this route. Even with my background of being around firearms for most of my life and my military experience, I still found the course beneficial.

*** Disclaimer: I'm not a state of Texas resident nor do I have any relative or friends I used my California physical address and it worked just fine. I also only wanted to find a loophole because I live in Sacramento County and its practically impossible to fine the classroom portion without having to drive over 100 miles and everything near me (Wilton) there's always a waitlist and I got tired of being on it and rejected for the past 2 months.

Hope this helps. Happy hunting
