Suppressors are legal in Texas. You have to find a person in the state that owns one or go to a Class 3 dealer or Class 2 manufacture and buy one, or you can make one. The person, or dealer will transfer the suppressor to you on a BATFE Form 4. If you choose to make one you will need to file a Form 1. Individuals need to be finger printed and have a sign off by the Chief Law Enforcement Officer, for your area. A chief of police, sheriff, district court judge can sign off on the form. A corporation or a trust can own the suppressor without the sign off. It will cost you $200.00 for the transfer. It will take from 8 weeks to 8 months or longer for the approval to come from BATFE. Once you are approved you may take possession of the suppressor. There are several good manufactures out there and don't go cheap, you will regret it. Gemtech, SWR, AWC all make good suppressors. Look to spend from 300.00 to 900.00 for a suppressor depending on the caliber and model. Suppressors are fun and save your hearing. There is nothing like shooting a gun and have it go plink, instead of bang.
