What is needed to get a suppressor in Texas. Ordered the new Glock 44 (.22lr) and a threaded barrel from Glock.
Some type of licensing?

The 30-cal I have, I built using parts from various suppliers (who may or may not still exist, but it should give you an idea what I used) - details in post #13 here: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=80252

Its always interesting to read others opinions..and I mean that politely.Scott B. wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 2:14 pm For an existing suppressor you will need an NFA tax stamp to take possession. You can apply as an individual, a trust*, or corporation.
Most eligible gun shops will do the paperwork for you.
There's no registration w/ the state of Texas. The chief law enforcement officer of the county (or state) where you live will be notified as a courtesy, but there's nothing else required.
At this time, you might have wait anywhere from 4 to 10 months before your tax stamp is issued.
*Trusts are not required for NFA items and from my POV should only be used if you have an absolute need for it. i.e., you have multiple people who will be using the same pool of NFA toys [I don't trust anybody that much] or need to pass on your toys to somebody who is not a direct blood relative.
NFA items on an individual tax stamp can be passed, by your estate, to designated direct blood relatives via a tax-free Form 5 application.

For example, I took the .22 suppressor (which is threaded for the .22 standard of 1/2"×28 threads) to a friend's house and he has a Walther .22 PPQ pistol which comes with a threaded barrel covered by a sleeve - however, those threads on the barrel won't fit and he would have needed to purchase the specific thread-adapter for his pistol.
Another example - I wanted my rifle suppressor to work on a variety of rifles, so I had to carefully choose which muzzle-device I should standardize on so the can would work on all of them. For me that turned out to be the Griffin Armament taper-mount, but YMMV.
I did the trust-thing back in the day specifically so I didn't need local CLEO sign-off, but as that's no longer a thing it comes down to whether one would want the benefits associated with a trust.
