    You generally need to do a background check at a store

    But random dude online selling a used one? Nothing. No paperwork. Just give money, get gun. Don’t even need a record of it.

    Neither federal law nor Texas law requires private sellers to keep a record when they sell a firearm.

      IIRC if the dude online is shipping the gun (any firearm), it needs to go through an FFL, and that requires a background check. Meetups in person do not, though. That is a private sale.
