Re: Memory failure
Any transfer of a firearm between residents of different states requires an FFL transfer. In the case of a long gun, it may take place in the state of residence of either party (or in a third state, if you prefer). For a handgun, the transfer must take place at an FFL in the recipient's state of residence.
It doesn't really matter how the handgun gets to the recipient's (transferee's) state. I agree with cajunautoxer--if he is already planning on coming to Texas to visit, he can just buy the gun in his state of residence and then he and his granddaughter go together to an FFL in Texas and have the transfer done. That is a without-a-doubt legal way to do it.
Another way to handle it would be the two spend some quality gun-shopping time together while he is here in Texas.
