Yes, you can purchase a firearm online and have it shipped to a local FFL holder like Cleburne Gun & Pawn or Hillsboro Gun & Pawn.

Texas is a permitless carry state, allowing most adults 21+ to carry handguns openly or concealed without a license, though obtaining an LTC is recommended for reciprocity and other benefits.
