We Are All About the Training
Welcome to the Texas Defense & Firearm Training, LLC. website. We are a veteran owned company that focuses on various home defense and firearm safety training courses. Our belief in defense and safety is understanding pre-threat indicators and using situational awareness to keep us from being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Then if we have to defend ourselves, and it is imminent, you have to make that decision to flee or fight.
Therefore, our training is not all about firearms. As use of a firearm or deadly for should be the last resort or when all lesser means have failed or cannot be justifiably used. We instruct our courses to use situational awareness (the understanding of our surroundings) and to identify pre-threat indicators such as out of place anomalies.
When and if the tine comes to use force, either non-lethal or deadly force, we instruct the best way to apply those forces. From using a taser, pepper spray or other non-lethal force, or using deadly force, such as your handgun or your vehicle, we believe you need to know what happens physically, emotionally, and financially when you defend yourself. Walking through the event from the time police and EMS show up. You need to know the steps they will take to ensure everyone's safety, to the time the police start investigating and EMS checks you out and the other party.
This is much more training than JUST getting your License to Carry and then carrying your firearm in public. We stress to every student how important it is to know your rights, the laws and how to protect yourself. Everyone has that right! This is a defensive journey, which we all hope you will use Texas Defense & Firearm Training!

Ted Jagen is constantly learning new techniques to train others and is a USCCA Training Counselor. He is very successful training beginners to advanced shooters. He now can train and certify those self-learners so they can instruct defense training and make a greater impact in our community.

Training with SIRT (Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger) training pistols
We use SIRT training pistols for all handgun training platforms. We believe we can instruct the beginner to advance with this platform. We can quietly and without any distraction, instruct basic handgun users grip, sight alignment, trigger control and trigger press, and handgun draw and reload. Intermediate to advanced handgun users we can train defensive shooting fundamentals, trigger press, advanced handgun drawing and handling. We believe the SIRT training pistol saves ammo, allows for a better training session, and more safe training environment. We also use L.A.S.R X training software where we can make anything a target and record and playback your training exercise to address opportunities for improvement.
