On a person to person sale, you don't have to have any information. If you suspect the person buying it can't legally own a gun, you are obligated by law not to sell it. If you go into a gun shop to sell it, the will ask for your driver's license or other proof of identification.

Two forms of ID, one of which is a govt issued photo ID, showing that you are at least 21 years old, and a resident of Texas. (You may only purchase a handgun in your own state of residence) You will also need the money to pay for the handgun (of course), and the ability to pass a criminal and mental health background check.

Can I buy a Handgun in Texas with my Illinois F.O.I.D card?

The answer is yes and no. You cannot go into a gun store in a state where you don't live and walk out with a handgun. You can, however, have a handgun shipped from a licensed dealer where you are to a licensed dealer in your state and pick it up there, unless there is a local state law prohibiting that. You have to find a gunshop that is willing to do that. Some will, some won't.
