 * Yes you can do it, adding this to your child-theme functions.php:
 *     ```
       add_filter('tc_slide_text_length', 'my_tc_slide_text_length');
       function my_tc_slide_text_length(){
           return 500; /*change this value to suit your needs*/
       }
       add_filter('tc_slider_display', 'do_my_shortcode');
       function do_my_shortcode($html){
           return do_shortcode(html_entity_decode($html));
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.
