How buying a gun in Tyler works
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Texas law allows.
Texas adds nothing to federal law. There is no permit to purchase, no registration and no waiting period. At the licensed Texas dealer you name at checkout, you show photo ID with your Texas address, complete ATF Form 4473 and pass the FBI NICS check, or present a Texas License to Carry in place of the check. Dealers require 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns. Magazines of any capacity, threaded barrels and ammunition ship to your door.

Businesses bar carry with 30.06 and 30.07 signs, and bars with a 51% sign are off limits. The Smith County Sheriff's office can point you to local certified LTC instructors.
