Gun laws in Texas are some of the most relaxed in the United States. A gun store in Texas can sell a gun to anyone as long as they meet the necessary requirements. For a rifle or shot gun, one must be at least 18 years old and 21 if it is a hand gun. In both cases one must also be a resident of Texas.
