From an FFL dealer, yes - but there's no such requirement if you sell your firearm face-to-face to another Texas resident.
He wants it so that you can't even do that without having to go through an FFL - to save the children, of course. No more private gun transactions of any kind.
I have two words for Chucky, but I don't think they would be suitable even if we had a 50-yr old rule in here
(and think I know what those two word are!)

PeteCamp wrote:NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said Wednesday he will propose legislation requiring all gun buyers to undergo a background check and broadly increasing penalties against states that don't contribute names to the national background-check system.
What names? There are no states that contribute names to the system unless they are convicted in a court of law. It is, by definition, a database of criminals in the US. Would the good Senator have his name added to that database when he purchases a firearm? What exactly does he mean?
Never mind. Schumer has never allowed the facts to cloud his rationale.
In fact, because of the above,
his own state does not contribute names to any system. I'm asking purely as a rhetorical flourish, exactly how dumb
is this man?
Great googleymoogley.

Schumer's words and deeds cannot be adequately explained by stupidity

Whatever happened to that?
I believe it was the House Republicans that promised this.
Schumer is a Senator. He and they play by his and their own rules.
I can't believe Schumer continues to be re-elected.

Reading the name Schumer reminds me of one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes:
"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
