Texas Law (HB 957): The Texas Suppressor Freedom Act states that a suppressor made completely within Texas from basic materials and kept inside the state is exempt from federal laws. State and local police are barred from enforcing federal suppressor rules on these items.
Federal Law (NFA): The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) maintains that federal law overrides state law. Federal courts have ruled that making a DIY suppressor still requires an approved ATF Form 1 and background check, though the federal tax stamp fee is $0
