IIRC the shotgun was cut off and is an illegal length (<18 inches).
That's probably the hold up - they're pondering whether to return an illegal firearm.

Probably stolen and sold if valuable by the LEO’s or DA’s.

This is Houston you're talking about. Certainly not all cops in Houston are crooked, but there is a reputation that has followed the force from way on back to the 70’s.

I stay the hell outta Houston, can't stand the place.

The one they're pondering IIRC is a shotgun cut to an illegal length. Maybe they could make him come in with a legal length barrel, swap it out, and send him home with the now-legal shotgun and the under length barrel, not attached.
