FAQ
Generally, ATF Form 4473 must be completed at the licensed business premises when a firearm is transferred over-the-counter. Federal law, 18 U.S.C.
There are a few options for filling out this form including paper and the eForm app from the ATF. ATF Form 4473 documents the following items of a firearm sale: the buyer's personal information, identification, and answers to questions that determine the legality of the transaction.
Texas does not have a state gun registry. That means private individuals do not need to file paperwork or report the transfer to the government.
Yes, the ATF Form 4473 is available online, but much of it needs to be filled out by the FFL doing your transfer. If you fill it out online, you must send it to them, or print it out and bring it with you so they can complete their section of the form and submit it.
The ATF reports the 3 most common 4473 errors involve the following questions: Questions 10(a) and 10(b). These refer to ethnicity and race. Question 11(a) which asks if you are the actual buyer or transferee. Question 11(e) This pertains to illegal drug use, including marijuana.
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.
There is no legal issue with gifting the gun, but the seller won't really know the truth except that you intend to give it to someone else once you buy it, at which point they will back out. Just buy it as normal, and happy shooting! :)
Yes. It is legal to make a private sale or trade to anyone 18+ in Texas. 18-20 are not allowed to buy from an FFL, but perfectly legal for private sales.
When an FFL is used to transfer a firearm, the FFL will acquire (receive) the firearm onto the FFL's records from an individual (seller) or another FFL (manufacturer or another dealer). Then, the FFL will dispose (give) the firearm to another FFL or to an individual. That entire transaction is a “firearm transfer.”
Many gun owners in Texas ask, “How do I register my gun?” In Texas, a gun buyer or seller does not have to go through a registration process for firearms. And the state does not register firearms to an owner.
