Shipping Long guns to In State Buyer

I can't find the ATF Q&A link, but it seems that I recall reading in their FAQ section that long guns can be shipped from unlicensed to unlicensed within state borders. True or False.

I am not a lawyer, but I believe it still needs to go through an FFL unless you meet face to face

Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier? A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30]

 

But check your State laws too!

Yeah, that's what I was looking for. Silly question: I assume Texas has no such prohibitions?
