I've wondered about this, with you living in a 'free' state and me not-so-much. I hope this is not a dumb-*** question. Here, all transfers new and private party must go through an FFL.
In Texas when you purchase (new) from a FFL, they call-in for the background check approval from the form 4473 you completed, correct? They then keep the paper 4473 in their records? I know it does not have the make and model on it- or does it for a pistol?
Then there should be paperwork/ a record that the firearm which was shipped inter-state to the FFL was sold to you, am I correct? For example, if Glock s/n 1234567890 were to turn-up somewhere at a crime scene in Texas, and the LE went to Glock, they have a record that that s/n pistol was sold to Joe's Firearms in Somewhere, Texas.
If LE goes to Joe's Firearms, does the FFL have a sales record (receipt) that the firearm was sold to you that would be released to the LE? Does Joe have to keep his receipts on file for a specified period of time?

Just wondering how that's done with private party transfers being legal.
God bless Texas.
