Texas requires no purchase permit, registration, or waiting period for firearms. Dealer sales proceed with ATF Form 4473 and a federal NICS background check. Federal age limits apply: 21 for handguns, 18 for rifles and shotguns. Online orders ship to the Texas FFL dealer you select, who conducts the background check and transfers the firearm upon approval.
Dealers in these communities all work for Lubbock-area buyers:
Since September 2021, Texans aged 21 and older who may legally possess a handgun can carry it openly or concealed without a license. The optional License to Carry, issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, remains useful for interstate travel and certain Texas-specific locations. Carry is prohibited on posted private property, schools, courthouses, and other designated areas.
Texas Parks and Wildlife sets deer seasons by county. The general season in most counties begins on the first Saturday in November and extends into early January, with longer south Texas dates and archery and youth seasons preceding it. Centerfire rifles, handguns, shotguns, and muzzleloaders are legal during the general season. Feral hogs can be hunted year-round on private land with permission.
Lubbock County features flat caprock farmland with whitetail deer near playa lakes and draws, and mule deer further west and north. Dove, quail, and duck hunting over the playas keeps shotguns active, though deer hunting mostly occurs on private leases.
Wind is a constant in Lubbock, shaping local shooting skills, and September dove hunting over the playa lakes is a cherished tradition.
The ranges on the city pages are public ranges run or listed by the state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, chosen by distance. Passes, licenses and hours are the agency's; check before you go.
