FAQ
You must be 21 years old and above when buying a handgun or 18 years old and above when buying a long gun from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) under federal law. The same rules apply to buying a long gun under Texas law. Texans, however, can buy handguns once they turn 18 but only through private sales.
Background checks Private sellers are not required by federal law or Texas law to do a background check before selling a firearm. If you would like to run a NICS background check before a firearm sale, a licensed dealer can help you conduct the sale. The FBI does not offer NICS background check services to the public.
Yes, Texas recognizes handwritten bills of sale as valid, as long as they contain all the necessary information and are signed by both the buyer and the seller.
Registration Laws The State of Texas does not maintain a registry of firearms. The federal government also does not maintain a general registry of handgun or rifle ownership.
A simple bill of sale signed by both parties is a good way to document the transfer. If you are transferring a gun to someone in Texas, make sure they are legally allowed to own a firearm. While private sales and gifts do not require background checks, it is important to document the transaction for your protection.
Texas has no law requiring private sellers to conduct background checks to transfer firearms to other individuals. However, if you plan to give a gun to someone as a gift and they live in another state, the transfer is subject to the federal background check requirement.
That might get you to wonder if a handwritten bill of sale is legally binding. Handwritten bills of sale are indeed contractual agreements — so long as they have the right elements.
A valid Texas bill of sale needs clear identification of the buyer and seller. Names, addresses, and contact details for both parties must be included. It should provide a comprehensive description of the item sold, including make, model, year, and unique identifiers like VIN for vehicles.
While you don't have to get a bill of sale notarized, you should do so anyway for the following key reasons: Notarizing it helps ensure a smoother and quicker transfer of ownership. A notarized bill of sale is important as it protects both the seller and buyer from scams or fraud.
