Residents who travel out of state or want reciprocity recognition in other jurisdictions can obtain an optional Texas License to Carry through the Texas Department of Public Safety. Texas imposes no state-level waiting period beyond the federal background check process for firearm purchases, and ammunition purchases have no state-level permit or background check requirement for eligible adults.
Texas hunters using Hornady ammunition for deer, hog, dove, or other game should consult the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for current regulations on legal ammunition types, calibers, and equipment for specific seasons and properties.

Hornady is one of America's most respected ammunition manufacturers, known for developing innovative bullet technology that has set industry standards across defensive, hunting, and precision shooting applications. The brand is widely recognized for its Critical Defense and Critical Duty defensive hollow point lines, the ELD-X and ELD Match bullet series that redefined long-range hunting and precision shooting performance, and the Precision Hunter line that brought reliable long-range hunting ammunition to a broad audience of hunters. Hornady is also known for its reloading components and tools used by handloaders across the country.
Hornady's Critical Defense and Critical Duty lines are among the most widely trusted defensive handgun loads available. Critical Defense is designed for compact carry pistols with shorter barrels, using a polymer-tipped hollow point that initiates reliable expansion through a variety of barriers. Critical Duty is designed for full-size duty pistols and meets the FBI protocol standards for penetration and expansion through heavy barriers. The best choice depends on your specific carry pistol, barrel length, and intended defensive application.
For West Texas deer hunting, Hornady's ELD-X in the Precision Hunter line and the InterLock in American Whitetail are both strong choices depending on your typical shot distances and rifle platform. Precision Hunter ELD-X loads are built for longer-range performance across open Llano Estacado terrain where shots can extend well beyond typical distances. American Whitetail with InterLock bullets is a proven, cost-effective option for hunters at more moderate ranges in tighter terrain. The staff at Rocking P Firearms can help you match the right Hornady load to your specific rifle and hunting setup.
ELD-X, or Extremely Low Drag Expanding, is Hornady's hunting bullet line engineered for high ballistic coefficient performance and reliable expansion across a wide range of velocities and impact distances. The Heat Shield tip prevents tip deformation in flight for consistent ballistics, while the bullet's construction is designed to expand reliably at both close and extended ranges. These characteristics make ELD-X loads a popular choice for West Texas hunters who may encounter shots at widely varying distances across open ranch country and senderos.
Yes. Hornady produces rimfire ammunition including .22 LR and other rimfire calibers for training, plinking, and small game hunting. Hornady rimfire loads apply the same manufacturing consistency that defines their centerfire product lines, delivering reliable velocity and accuracy for range training sessions and small game hunting applications. Stop in or check online for current Hornady rimfire inventory at Rocking P Firearms.
Hornady Critical Defense is a defensive handgun ammunition line specifically engineered for compact carry pistols with shorter barrels, where reduced velocity can affect the reliable expansion of standard hollow point designs. Critical Defense uses a polymer-tipped hollow point called the FTX bullet, which initiates consistent expansion even through heavy clothing and at the lower velocities produced by short carry gun barrels. It is available in the most common defensive handgun calibers and is a practical choice for Texas carriers who want proven terminal performance from a compact carry pistol.
No. Ammunition purchases in Texas do not require a permit, background check, or special license for adults who are legally permitted to possess firearms and ammunition. A valid government-issued ID may be requested at the point of sale to confirm age. All firearm purchases from a licensed dealer require a background check, but those requirements do not extend to ammunition purchases.
