Hi Joshua and welcome. There is no minimum age to purchase ammunition in Texas, but there are federal age requirements that apply: Federal law The Gun Control Act (GCA) requires that individuals be at least 18 years old to purchase ammunition for shotguns or rifles, and at least 21 years old to purchase other ammunition. Cheers and stay safe!
