Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Lampasas County. Lampasas is the Lampasas County seat on the northern edge of the Hill Country, founded around sulphur springs that made it a resort town in the 1800s. Sulphur Creek still runs through Hancock Park in town.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Texas law allows.
Texas has no permit to purchase, no gun registration and no state waiting period. When you buy from a licensed dealer you show photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473 and the dealer runs a federal NICS background check; a valid Texas License to Carry can stand in for the NICS check at many dealers. Federal law sets the dealer minimum at 18 for rifles and shotguns and 21 for handguns. Private sales between Texas residents need no state background check, but it is a crime to sell to someone you know cannot legally have a gun.
Dealers in these communities all work for Lampasas-area buyers:
Since September 1, 2021, adults 21 and older who may legally have a firearm can carry a handgun in Texas without a license, concealed or openly in a holster, unless a recent conviction for certain assault, deadly conduct, threat or firearm disorderly conduct offenses bars them. The License to Carry is still issued, statewide, by the Texas Department of Public Safety, not the county. It costs $40, needs four to six hours of classroom training plus a shooting test, and runs four years at first and five on renewal. Schools, courts, polling places, 51 percent bars and posted businesses stay off-limits.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department sets deer seasons county by county. For 2026-27, white-tailed deer archery season runs October 3 to November 6, 2026, and the general season runs November 7, 2026 to January 3, 2027 in the North Zone, which takes in all of Central Texas, and to January 17, 2027 in the South Zone. Many counties add a special late or muzzleloader season from January 4 to 17, 2027. Any legal firearm may be used except rimfire ammunition, which is banned for deer. Check the Lampasas County page in the Outdoor Annual for bag limits and antler rules.
Lampasas County is in the North Zone with a five-deer bag, no more than two bucks, and a special late season in January. Oak and cedar hills along the Lampasas River hold good whitetail numbers on private ranches.
Ranches around Lampasas lease deer hunting every fall, and the Colorado River hill country around Burnet is a short drive south.

Shots across Hill Country and West Texas pastures run from brush-close to 300 yards, so the .243, 6.5 Creedmoor, .270, 7mm-08, .308 and .30-06 are all common. Use expanding bullets, remember rimfire is banned for deer, and check your county's antler rules.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
