Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy a firearm online?

Buying a firearm online is straightforward—and we guide you through every step.

Select your firearm, complete checkout, and choose a licensed FFL dealer to receive it. Once it arrives, you’ll complete ATF Form 4473 and the required background check at that dealer before taking possession.

If you don’t have an FFL, we’ll help you choose one that’s convenient and reliable.

Good to know: Accessories, parts, and gear typically ship directly to your door where lawful.

What is an FFL?

An FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) is a federally licensed dealer authorized to transfer firearms to customers.

Federal law requires firearms purchased online to be shipped to an FFL—not directly to your home. This is where you complete the required paperwork and background check.

If this is your first time, we’ll walk you through it.

How do transfers work?

After your order is placed, your firearm ships to the selected FFL. Once received, they’ll contact you for pickup.

  • Bring a valid government-issued ID
  • Complete ATF Form 4473
  • Complete the background check

After approval, the firearm is released to you. Transfer fees are set by the receiving dealer.

Do I need a background check?

Yes. Federal law requires a background check for firearm transfers.

This is completed at the FFL as part of the standard process. Most checks are approved quickly, and we’ll help you understand what to expect.

How does the NFA process work?

NFA items such as suppressors and short-barreled rifles require additional approval.

We assist with ATF eForms, fingerprints, and submission. You can register as an individual or through a trust—we’ll explain both options.

Once approved, we’ll complete the final transfer. Until then, your item remains securely stored.

How do NFA transfers work?

If you purchase an NFA item elsewhere, it can be transferred to Texas Guns, Inc. for processing.

We coordinate with the sending dealer, handle paperwork, and guide you through the approval process from start to finish.

What about shipping and delivery?

Firearms ship to a licensed FFL for pickup. Non-firearm items typically ship directly to your home where lawful.

We provide tracking and ensure everything is handled correctly to avoid delays or surprises.

What if my background check is delayed?

Delays occasionally happen and often resolve on their own. Your FFL will notify you when a response is received.

If a check is denied, the FFL will provide guidance on next steps. We’re always available to help explain the process.

First time buyer?

You’re in the right place.

Whether it’s your first firearm or your first NFA item, we provide clear answers and professional guidance—no pressure, no confusion.

Stay Armed. Stay Safe.
