The only thing they check for is if you have a felony or not, and that’s only actual gun dealers like you’d find at a gun show. Usually takes 10-15 minutes and if you don’t get an immediate “clear” in that 15 minutes they’ll hold the gun for you for 2 days, and after 2 days if the govt has no further reason for the hold you can get your gun. From what I understand if they have no good reason after that 2 day timeframe they HAVE to clear the sale.
Man to man, private sale of a gun? No checks, have a good day sir, bang bang bang
This is all anecdotal to my experience buying my 2nd gun after the one given to me at birth by the state of Texas was no good /s
They check if you are on NICS, which is a list of people who can’t have guns no matter the reason: felonies, misdemeanor domestic violence, involuntary commitment, renounced citizenship, dishonorable discharge, protective orders, etc.
There is no waiting period in Texas. 15 minutes and a clear background check, and here’s your gun. I was floored the first time I bought and walked out with it.

Maybe they’ve changed it recently, I bought mine a decade ago.
