I raffled off a gun a few months back and just had the new owner sign a Bill of Sale.

Where it says "CWL", that would be your CHL/LTC: http://utahgunexchange.com/doc/billofsale.pdf. You can fill out the PDF and print it out for signature. I'm actually going to download a copy of this for myself.
Thanks for the link TAM. I printed off a few for myself also. :thumbs2:

Did you do a google or bing or yahoo search on the guy? I usually do that. You don't always find anything but sometimes you do.

If you have his Texas drivers license number, you can search Publicdata.com and see if anyone with his info has a criminal history. That's at least a good start.
