Kinda like a constable can't ask to see your W2s to prove you paid your federal income tax, it's not their jurisdiction.

That is may be true if you are being charged with an NFA violation at the federal level. However, Texas Peace Officer can give you the choice between getting arrested under Texas law, or showing him your tax stamp as your defense against Texas charges. The two situations are not mutually exclusive.
