MOST states do not have registration of firearms. If you are purchasing a firearm from a dealer, the dealer makes a record of the sale that he retains, If you are living in a state that does require registration, then that is performed at the time of sale. If you concern is that you may be buying a stolen weapon, and the purchase is NOT from a dealer, you can ask local law enforcement to check the serial number against the national database (not available to private citizens) Most will want to have the weapon in hand when doing this.

How do you register a gun in Texas?

Like most states, there IS no registration of ordinary firearms in TN. When buying a gun from a dealer, the dealer maintains a record of your purchase AT their shop, and does conduct a computer background check of the buyer, but that does not "register" the gun with any agency. Just move to TN from another state, and brought a gun with you? No problem as long as you are a law abiding adult that is not prohibited from possessing a gun- and again, no registration. Welcome to TN.
