Rifles and a stupid Question
When did Texas make it mandatory to fill out forms from an FFL to purchase a rifle or shotguns?. Or is this just a way for dealers (FFL)to protect themselves?

Texas didn't the feds did. BATFE ( usta was the ATF) will say bad things in a court of law about FFLs that don't use an BATFE form 4473

Also, it has been that way since 1968.

Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1968
Usually referred to as the Gun Control Act of 68 (GCA 68). Fed law mandating licensing of gun dealers, setting age limits on gun purchases, filling out forms, and a whole bunch of other stuff as well.
Texas may have added their own state forms and requirements afterwards, I don't know, sorry. Some states do, others don't.

No other TX requirements.
