Re: Wait 'til next year. 2011 Texas Legislative Session

I'd like to see something similar to this law that Tennesee has:

"39-17-1361. Execution of documents by sheriff or chief of police. —

The sheriff or chief of police of the city of residence of a person purchasing any firearm, defined by the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. § 5845 et seq., shall execute within fifteen (15) business days of any request all documents required to be submitted by the purchaser if the purchaser is not prohibited from possessing firearms pursuant to § 39-17-1316."

Yes I know that you can bypass the CLEO signature requirement with an LLC or trust, I've done it myself. However there's no reason for a CLEO not to sign other than they don't feel like it. As a temporary workaround, how much control does the Governor have over the DPS? DPS could sign, but they currently don't. Could the Governor direct the DPS to change their policy and sign, or would it be a more involved process?
