Benny Parkey, Sheriff of Denton Co has signed two Form 4's for me with no problems. I got in touch with him via e-mail on the county's website. He does a background check and takes about a month to get the forms done.

Waylan Rhodes, Chief of Police of Little Elm, TX (my home town) refused to sign the form whenever I contacted him via e-mail.

The Denton County Sherriff signed mine - only a two-day turn around - and we had a nice chat on the phone, too.

I live in Dallas, would they sign off for me what with living in a different county? I'm trying to avoid the trust route as I only have one NFA item (SBR) that I'd like approved.

Rusty Hierholzer Kerr County Sheriff will NOT sign

I think the "Chief LEO" has to be federal, state, or your county or city, so I don't think a Denton County official would be OK. (I could be wrong, of course, but I had to get a federal judge to sign off the last 2 Form 4s in Dallas County--that was quite a few years ago, too.)

Sheriff Milton of Fort Bend County signs off. Sheriff deputy Brady, who is running for Sheriff, also will sign off.

Thanks for the info. If the CLEO requirement doesn't sunset soon on the forms, I might just go ahead and bite the hit on my wallet and set up a trust.

The newly elected sheriff of Denton County is not NFA friendly. Anyone who would like to get something should visit Sheriff Parkey before his term expires.

This is the email correspondence I have had. I know I mistakenly left out silencers, but noted it in my reply to him.

David,

Thank you so much for your e-mail! I am not for NFA regulated firearms! If someone broke into your house and stole your weapons, well it would be bad!! However, I am for the 2nd Amendment! Thank you once again!!

What is your position on NFA regulated firearms? NFA firearms being machine guns, destructive devices, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, and Any Other Weapons. One requirement of the NFA Act is the requirement of a signature of a Chief Law Enforcement Officer on the registration paper work. Would you be willing to sign these documents for law abiding citizens of Denton County? The signature is completely optional and the CLEO is not bound by law to sign and can choose to reject the form and not sign for the individual, however there are other lawful methods to be used to acquire the desired items as defined by the National Firearms Act.

If you have any questions or concerns about my inquiry, please feel free to email or contact me at (940)xxxxxxxx.

Thanks in Advance,

David

January 1.

That being said the sheriff elect is open to a meeting with Denton Co. owners and dealers in NFA,

 

[thirdcoastangler]

The list is a little out of date as Jim Kaelin is now the Sheriff of Nueces country.

And he DOES sign Form 1's/4's.

 

[tussery]

And he DOES sign Form 1's/4's.

Yes he does.

 

[BIMMERKID21]

Probably doesnt help any of you, but Sheriff Steve Kukowski of Ward County, North Dakota will sign off all NFA forms and is VERY pro 2nd Amendment

 

[Texan2]

In Atascosa County, the Chief of Police in Jourdanton will sign for you...

 

[TrevX]

anyone have experience with brazoria county or angleton texas?

 

[willygene]

good ole J.B. Smith will if u have trouble PM me[/QUOTE
jb smith aint the sheriff in smith county any more larry smith a retired batf agent is will probably signem though.

 

[willygene]

Nacogdoches county sheriff Jason Bridges has stated that he will sign off for nfa stuff as well.

 

[Tactical_Smurf]

Smith county

IF you live inside City limits, Chief Swindle at TPD will sign F1/F4

Outside City Limits, Sheriff Larry Smith Will Sign F1/F4, now the only two forms I have not taken to him have been DD and Machinegun so can't speak to his willingness to sign those. After several conversations with him and some initial hesitation on my part I do honestly believe he is a strong 2nd amendment supporter in-spite of a decade plus tour with BATFE.
