A finished 80% is a firearm.
Or another way of saying it is that you built a 100% firearm by starting out with an unfinished (80% completed) block of material. |

Follow whatever laws your state has regarding the private sales of firearms.
In CA, private sales of firearms must go through a FFL. In TX, I don't know...maybe someone can chime in... |

Texas allows private face to face, no FFL involved.
OP is wondering if a lower can be shipped between private individuals that are both living in and residents of the state of Texas without going through FFL. |

So just to confirm. A finished 80% is treated as a firearm. And must go through a ffl, even it we are both Texas residents? No FTF/FTW |

For The Win Can the buyer and seller feasibly meet face to face? Or is this a situation where the buyer and seller are both in TX and the seller wants to know if it's legal to ship the receiver directly to the buyer? |

FYI if you sell an 80% that you have machined to 100%, you are required to add all of the manufacturer's data to the lower, i.e. Your Name, Your City and State, Model Number, Caliber and a Serial Number.

If you're a licensed manufacturer you do. Individuals have no such requirements for "Title I" firearms. |

It is recommended, not required by the ATF to engrave a serial number on the lower only to aid in identification if it is lost or stolen. I do not understand why so many people keep spitting out that bullshit. The one I love the most is "it is illegal to sell a completed 80% lower" or "once you finish it, it is yours forever". Another funny one is "a gun without a serial number is illegal". |
