Here's the neat part: it isn't. There's no such thing as a gun registry in Texas. Or federally.if the gun is registered in your name

Kind of reminds me of the David Allan Coe song, “You Never Even Call Me By My Name.” You know, the run-up to the last verse where he talks about Steve Goodman writing the perfect country and western song.
Post 2 was almost the perfect post, except it didn’t talk about how a BOS can he used against you to establish dealing in firearms without a license, which has landed more than a few folks in prison.
Now, it’s /thread.
Ditto@candcallen nailed it in one.
Bill of Sale bullshit is from foreigners moving to Texas and watching too much TeeVee. You're not going to prison for selling a gun that was used in a crime any more than you would for selling a car that was using in a DWI.I noticed forum members freaking out about requiring a Texas Bill of Sale when listing a gun for sale. I understand it's nice to not have any paperwork on a private sale, but if the gun is registered in your name how do you protect yourself in the event something happens? Just curious.
This! In fact, dealing in firearms without a license - or 'straw purchases' - will get you in legal trouble a lot quicker than selling a gun. I used to work for a guy that had some financial issues and sold some guns that were later found in possession of a cartel in Mexico, he was convicted of lying to the FBI - not unlicensed dealing. The correct answer is always, "I believe I sold that gun, but do not recall any details about the buyer."Post 2 was almost the perfect post, except it didn’t talk about how a BOS can he used against you to establish dealing in firearms without a license, which has landed more than a few folks in prison.
