It's been a long time since I lived in TX so I don't want to comment on the state's current laws. However, even if the state doesn't require paperwork, it is not uncommon for a seller to request to see the buyer's Concealed Carry Permit so he knows the buyer has been through and passed at least one background check. I've seen that as common practice in the last two states I've lived in where private FTF deals/transfers are permitted. -Also some people draw up a bill of sale and want your DL or Conceal Carry Permit number.
There's the law and then there's your comfort level. Some individuals don't want any paper trail either way. Others want something just in case the gun turns up at a crime scene or a firearm turns up reported as stolen. -My take on it is who wants to have to explain what a firearm they used to own is doing at a meth lab by a dead body and if you happen to get a gun that is reported stolen you probably want to be able to prove who you got it from so you can get your money back.
