I called the Houston branch of the BATFE to inquire about intrastate shipping of a pistol between 2 non FFL holders. I was told that it was illegal to do so and that I HAD to use an FFL. Between the cost of shipping and transfer fees I'd be no better off than buying locally from a dealer. So I double check and hop over to their website to look at thier FAQ...

(B8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier? [Back]
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]
