if my Dad (a Texas resident) could buy it for me and I could buy it off him.
This is a straw purchase and is illegal.

I'd like to pick up a modern sporting rifle while there, if possible
You should be able to if you can pass the 4473/NICS check.

I would also like to get a handgun transferred from my brother while I'm in Texas. He's a resident of Utah.
If the handgun is being transferred to you, your brother needs to send the handgun to an FFL in Arkansas who can then transfer it to you.
I personally wouldn't think about just taking possession of the gun from my bro. If you have to use it one day to defend yourself, the ATF can easily find out that you illegally acquired the handgun...which was then used in a shooting.

I think it's OK in that regard because I'm legally able to own a gun. I'm just trying to take advantage of a Houston gun show that is much better than anything in my area.

Q: Can I buy a gun for a friend/girlfriend/wife?
A: Not really. It is legal to buy a gun for another person as long as that person is legally allowed to own a firearm. However, it is a federal offense known as a "straw purchase" to buy a gun for another person who is not legally allowed to own a firearm.
