No permit is necessary to purchase, although sales that occur through a federally licensed dealer will require the passing of a standard background check. Open carry is allowed in certain areas when not performed in a method to threaten or create a panic. Concealed carry will obligate a resident to obtain licensure to do so.

• A completed Texas Handgun Licensing Application (Form LTC-78A)
• Certificate proving completion of a firearm safety course approved by the state.
