I called one shop in Houston and they said they sell/transfer ALOT of them. Sooooo

What is the name of the shop in Houston?

Not "legally" until Sept 1st.

I will expect that with this amendment, that these types of firearms will be in high demand. I would still make a copy of the amendment, as well as the ATFE ruling, to show to any LEO, who may not be up to date. Especially if you plan to carry it anywhere besides, your property. JMHO

Not to be difficult, but I believe there is a lack of consensus on whether these firearms are currently legal in Texas. Carlson mentioned a couple posts above that his LGS is selling these and the only legal opinion I have seen says that they MAY not be legal in Texas.

This bill was meant to clarify the situation. The AG has not issued any opinions saying that they are currently illegal. Regardless, effective September 1 it will be blatantly clear that these firearms ARE legal in Texas.

What is the timeline for this law to be effective? Shockwave's are out of stock once again on Bud's site and I would like to get one placed on reserve order as soon as possible.

I would also love to have a Shockwave. It's not a gun that I "need", and yes there are other guns that can accomplish the same purpose. But then again, I have a lot of guns I don't "need".

I asked the AG's office for an opinion and they declined to give one. Then again, I am a mere citizen. Hopefully this request will get an answer. I don't see how they could rule that it is illegal without making the definition of a shotgun extremely broad (something like all firearms having a smooth bore regardless of whether they are capable of being shouldered).
