Question regarding status on DPS site

#1

Post by DaveWallerCB »

So last week I completed my course, fingerprints, and submitted everything to Dps. I received confirmation that everything was received. Then the first time that i checked the dps status is said submitted, today when i checked again it showed nothing amd asking me to to apply or what license am i try to apply for. I think ive read post as to this happening to other here. Is this common? Will it update at some point showing new statuses? Thanks!

You're fine. That's unfortunately how the DPS site works. Once submitted, the site will show as submitted, then the status disappears for a week or so and then you'll start seeing things coming back completed and as long as everything checks out, you'll see the coveted "Mailed" status. No need to be alarmed.

A good place to start is to look at http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic. ... start=5670 everyone posts their timeline there and it'll give you a good idea of how long you can expect the process to take. Looks like currently, it's taking around a month from getting all documents submitted to the time you get your license in hand.

I'm new to LTC also. Only had my plastic in hand for about 3 weeks so i'm still new and learning as well. Trying to help others where I can. Good luck, hopefully the turnaround time to get your LTC is quick.
