New to Texas = Legal Question
Back in PA, all handgun transfers--including local sales between private parties--had to go through an FFL. That PA state law precluded shipping a handgun directly to another PA resident. I know that TX does NOT require an FFL in private party transactions. So is there a TX STATE law precluding shipping a handgun to another TX resident? If so, can you point me to the statute? Inquiring minds would like to know ...

You can ship a firearm to a resident in Texas without going through a FFL. You cannot ship handguns through USPS it must be another carrier such as UPS or FedEx.

Re: New to Texas = Legal Question
Thank you. This is what I had concluded based on my preliminary research. It's the law that one doesn't know about that can prove problematic!
