How to un-register a gun in the state of texas?
If you bought the firearm through a dealer then a Form 4473 was executed and the dealer keeps that record. Your name and address are also in the dealers A&D Book (acquisitions and Disposal Record) those are the only links of the firearm to you. The only thing you might try is take it to a dealer and sell it on consignment. A&D Book shows the firearm come into the shop.

How do you register a handgun in Texas?
Well, yeh go to the DMV to get the fact that ye are over 21 registered to a piece of identifimication, and then yeh go to the gun store and place yer currency in the register. After a background check, yeh take the gun and the receipt registers that ye own it. If you would like to carry it outside the shipping container in public, yeh register for a license to do so at the police station. Then yeh register the gun to yer holster.If yeh mean giving the gunmint a list of which handguns yeh own, that don’t register to me as information the State of Texas would care to have.
How can I register a gun in Texas?
I have been asked to update and expand my original answer.In 2019 , Texas still has no gun registration of any sort. Any state legislator who suggested such a thing would pretty quickly be an EX -state legislator.No “registration”, so you cannot “register” a gun in Texas. As long as you are law abiding , the State of Texas doesn't care if you have one pistol or ten thousand. One rifle, or ten thousand. That's YOUR private business. Notice I say “law abiding”.All registration does, ever, anywhere, is provide a government entity of a list of Non-Criminal, Law-Abiding people who own firearms. Criminals aren’t on the list at all, because they are, you know, criminals. It’s against the law for a criminal to have a gun, so they are unlikely to register their guns.That would be admitting on paper to a crime. Oops, I forgot- the US Supreme Court has ruled that since a criminal registering a gun would be self-incrimination, criminals can neither be compelled to register their guns OR be punished for failing to do so. So “registration lists” are only lists of NON-CRIMINALS. How is that a “crime fighting “ tool?As for actually owning and using a firearm? Use it lawfully and the State of Texas has NO interest in your gun. Break the law with it, and then the state develops a profound interest. In other words, in Texas we punish the criminal MISUSE of firearms, not the law abiding firearm owner.There is no gun registration in Texas, but we put criminals who misuse firearms in prison.

Can I pawn a pistol not registered in my name in Texas?
There is no “gun registration” in Texas. The State of Texas does not care about your guns, unless you are a criminal actor, and then , in Texas, you go to jail. Everybody else ?

One point- to get it back from the pawnbroker you will have to fill out a BATFE Form 4473 and undergo a NICS background check.
What do I do with a registered gun when moving to another state? Register again?
All depends on the state you are moving to. Check beforehand! If you moving to a state that has strict gun control and registration, you need to check their laws. Most states don't have gun registration. You do nothing as others point out and breath free gun owner air.Some states require you to have a license to even possess guns so you can't even bring them with you until you do that.Some states require registration of all or some of your guns within a certain amount of time on arrival. Some states have voluntary registration. Those you can ignore.And lastly, some states ban certain guns that might be registered to existing owners but don't allow others to bring in those guns into the state ever or with very few exceptions. So even though it may have gun registration, the ban supersedes it and you'll never be able to bring some guns in. Maryland, New York, Connecticut and California are such states to varying degrees.For most states, they don't have registration and if you are leaving a state that has registration, there is generally no process to "deregister" your registered guns. The data becomes stale and inaccurate. States usually don't care when you take guns out of them. Only when you bring them in.

Why is it illegal to carry unregistered guns in Texas?
It’s not. There’s no such thing as “gun registration” in Texas; there are no state laws requiring guns to be registered, except in accordance with Federal laws including the ATF 4473 form required at purchase (technically not a Federal registry as the paperwork stays with the seller, and the NICS system is prohibited from retaining information directly tying the person to the firearm) and the NFA registration required of a very small percentage of firearms and accessories.What is illegal in Texas is to carry a handgun “in public” (basically meaning not on or within your own property) without also possessing a valid LTC (formerly a CHL). A CHL/LTC does not register or license the handgun; it licenses the owner to carry a handgun (any handgun) in most public places (there’s a laundry list of places you can’t carry, either by statute or by compliant posted signage). Without a CHL, you may carry a handgun:On the premises or land of real property that you own or controlWithin or directly to/from a motor vehicle you own or control (without a CHL, the gun must not be in plain sight unless you and the car are on land you control)On land that you lawfully occupy for the purposes of hunting (you don’t have to own it, you just have to be following all the hunting laws and not trespassing)While “deputized” by a peace officer for the purpose of assisting him in his duties (extremely rare nowadays, but “posse” laws dating back to Old West cattle rustling are still on the books)It is generally illegal, and in some cases a felony, to carry a handgun on your person without a CHL in any other circumstance, whether concealed or openly. It is, however, totally legal to carry a long gun (essentially any firearm that doesn’t meet the State’s definition of a handgun, such as a carbine, rifle or shotgun) in public anywhere that firearms are not statutorily banned.In none of these circumstances is there a requirement that the gun you carry be registered with any government agency.
What do you need to purchase a gun in texas?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GUN LICENSE IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE UNITED STATES. There, I said it. There is no gun registration, either, in most states and no federal registration. You have to be 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or shotgun from a firearm dealer, and 21 to buy a handgun from a firearm dealer. Those are the rules across the board, in all 50 states. In Texas, to purchase a rifle or shotgun, anyone 18 or older who can pass the criminal background check can just walk into a gun store, fill out BATFE Form 4473, show their government-issued photo ID (including, but not limited to, driver's licenses), wait patiently for the "instant" background check, and then walk out with their gun once they've paid for it. It might take 15-30 minutes, all told. That's it. There are slightly different rules for handguns; primarily, you have to be 21 to buy one from a dealer. Does that help?
I live in texas and i bought a shotgun at academy do they register it automatically to you when you buy it?
There is NO registering of guns in Texas. You do get a background check, and the store may keep a record of the transaction for their own sake and that they have to report sales, but there no registration of the gun you purchase to you by any government agency. Down and dirty it is that you buy a gun from a store it isn't reported as being sold to any particular individual, just simply that is was sold. You don't register handguns either, but you do need a carry permit now from the sounds of things.
