Understanding NFA Firearm Requirements: ATF Form 1 vs Form 4. ATF Form 1 is designed for individuals wanting to make or register an NFA item, such as a silencer or short barrel shotgun. On the other hand, ATF Form 4 is required to transfer an NFA firearm to an individual or legal entity, such as a trust.
Most US states, including Texas, have no gun registration. Therefore, there really isn't any form of “gun under your name”.
You must attend a four to six hour in-person or online classroom training and pass a written examination with a certified instructor. Classroom training will cover: Laws related to weapons and the use of deadly force. Handgun use and safety, including controlling and securing openly carried handguns.
The License to Carry a Handgun service allows you to apply for, renew, or check the status of a handgun license or instructor certification online with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The Regulatory Services Division of DPS will begin processing your application only after all paperwork has been completed. Usual wait time for your license is 2-4 weeks.
