just wondering if anyone might know a web page with the all the info listed to do a private party firearm tranfer in the state of texas.
thanks
 
What info do you want? You trade money (I like cash) for a gun and go on about your day. Just like selling a chainsaw, except the chainsaw is more dangerous.
 
i was looking for what requirements, if any, that the state has for private party tranfers

Bottom line, don't knowingly sell to anyone that can't legally have a weapon and you're ok. No requirements as far as notifying anyone or keeping a record or anything like that.

Nothing that Federal law doesn't already cover.
Federal law allows you to buy/sell/trade firearms with another Texas resident as long as you do not have reasonable cause to believe they are a "prohibited person".
