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 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.)

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

The list is a little out of date as Jim Kaelin is now the Sheriff of Nueces country.
