YES, they do, for firearms DEALERS.Federal law, however, does.
Let me clarify.
Texas does not currently require background checks for firearms sold or traded at gun shows by private individuals or unlicensed vendors. Problem The background check loophole, aka “gun show loophole,” refers to the scenario that, barring any additional requirements, prohibited purchasers (including violent offenders) are able to avoid background checks at gun shows by purchasing guns from unlicensed sellers and private individuals. “Private individuals” is a loose term under the Firearm Owners Protection Act that includes any private seller who does not rely on gun sales as the primary means of income.
