I’m needing to ship a rifle to Yoakum from Granbury area. Do I just go to the local fedex and ship it. Any suggestions from people that have done this.

Done it a few times. No problems at all. I've put them in plain boxes that don't shout GUN! not to hide what I'm sending from the carriers just in case who ever is receiving it isn't home at the time and it is on the porch.

Assuming you are not an FFL.
FedEx and UPS will ship handguns if you choose priority overnight and ship TO FFL. UPS will take long guns shipped TO ffl via ground. OP des not need FFL to drop it in the mail
FedEx Express: FedEx will only ship firearms via their Priority Overnight service. Ammunition must be shipped as hazardous goods via Ground in compliance with ORM-D. UPS: UPS will accept handgun shipments by Next Day Air only. Rifles and shotguns can be shipped by UPS ground service.Dec 6, 2017
Firearms (including handguns) may be shipped only through a UPS Scheduled Pickup Account (specifically, Daily Pickup, Daily On-Route Pickup, UPS Smart Pickup®, and Day-Specific Pickup), or through a UPS Customer Center (counters at UPS operational facilities). Note: Firearms (including handguns) are not accepted for shipment via UPS Drop Boxes or UPS On-Call Pickup®, and may not be tendered to or dropped off at locations of The UPS Store®, any third party retailer, or any UPS Access Point™ location.
When you are shipping a package that contains a handgun, you must verbally notify the UPS driver or UPS Customer Center clerk.
