US DEPT OF JUSTICE

July 26, 2021

The passage of Texas House Bill 957 exempts silencers (also known as suppressors) manufactured in Texas, and which remain in Texas, from Federal firearms laws and regulations. However, because HB957 directly conflicts with federal firearms laws and regulations, federal law supersedes HB957.

Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms

Augus 24, 2022

The Department of Justice (“Department”) is amending Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) regulations to remove and replace the regulatory definitions of “firearm frame or receiver” and “frame or receiver” because the current regulations fail to capture the full meaning of those terms. The Department is also amending ATF's definitions of “firearm” and “gunsmith” to clarify the meaning of those terms, and to provide definitions of terms such as “complete weapon,” “complete muffler or silencer device,” “multi-piece frame or receiver,” “privately made firearm,” and “readily” for purposes of clarity given advancements in firearms technology. Further, the Department is amending ATF's regulations on marking and recordkeeping that are necessary to implement these new or amended definitions.
