Most on this site just sell to people with LTC. A bill of sale is not needed but is advisable and you can politely ask for a license this way. You cant really "blindly" sell, it is on you to be reasonably sure it is a legal sale. You can legally even sell through the mail within the state but most strangers will not do it.

I'm really just curious with the shooting over in West Texas if they'll go after the private seller.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the state. My 1 year anniversary is the end of this month. We love it here. Anyway, my question is on private gun sales here. I wasn't able to find my answer through a search and the Texas gun laws don't touch on my question. I'm looking for info so I can continue batteling the anti-gunners. If a person is buying a firearm from a private seller does the seller have an obligation to see if the person is from Texas? Or can they just blindly sell to anyone who wants to buy? I know my former state of Illinois we had to make sure the person had all the correct credentials and had to run a background check.
I appreciate the help. Thanks
