The state isn't doing that - it's the Feds which require that only a FFL holder may receive an interstate transfer. That means the sale is
- Texas-owner to California-FFL, then, in a new sale,
- California-FFL to California buyer
and California certainly, with the current state of the law, can regulate what its state-licensed FFLs can sell.
Federal law 18 USC 922 (a)(3) and (a)(5) have been posted on Calguns a bunch of times, or
look it up for yourself.
