Its an exciting thing to see for sure! Wait til it says MAILED. It's hard not to get excited about that.

Maybe you'll do a wally-walk soon!
I carry every day since its arrival. Didnt much care for the attention of open carry. I did have lunch the other day open carry, two Texas Rangers gave me a glance i glanced back with a nod and they didnt seem to care one bit. Nice feeling.

darn, I thought we had the same timeline??? Still no letter and no change after I submitted my stuff on 27 Jan. Called today and they said just wait longer lmao.

Have you seen any updates on the website yet? I figure mine will possibly follow a couple days behind yours.
I am print pending now! If you haven't been arrested you will be quick.
Awesome we are in the print pending club. My calendar just gave me an alert, this is day 45 of my LTC process. (Yes i have been tracking time!) And day 5 since it turned print pending. Waiting for the glorious "mailed"

Re: 2017 Wait time

ktfiend wrote:I'm trying not to allow my anxiety to get the best of me waiting on the processing of my application to begin.

1/25 Class successfully completed
1/28 Application submitted and paid
1/30 Fingerprint appt complete
1/31 Supporting docs emailed and acknowledged
2/05 BRCC order made :lol:

I suspect that the State has not received my electronic fingerprints at this time since it's only been 5 business days. However, seeing no status is just wearing me out.

I'm a little concerned with my fingerprints because they have worn off a bit after years of making mums and burning myself with the hot glue (I guess). Hopefully they will not be rejected. We'll soon find out!
It's not that big of a deal. My information was submitted electronically on 11/22/16. But my info didn't go into review until 12/6/16.
Sending supporting docs with everything will help you. I didn't submit my supporting docs until like day 33 or so, and then a week later i'm in print pending. So, kick back, relax, get some range time and enjoy.

Re: For those with a past, please sit down and wait.

For those of us waiting on a license, who aren't lucky enough to have a crystal clear squeaky clean record, DPS may have to do more digging on your criminal history. Its amazing, but i was told by one of the DPS reps (in a snooty tone i might add) 'if you've been arrested in the past they want to investigate it further.' I asked, 'isnt that just for the past 5 years?' her answer was 'No, the criminal investigation goes back to juvenile records.' I said 'i'm almost 50, that's a long way back, and my silly misdemeanor was dismissed like 20 years ago' She said, 'that doesnt matter, they have to investigate you further.' So i asked if i needed to get further information for them which would help expedite the process. Her reply was 'no they will send you a letter if they need something from you.' After hanging up i decided to look up the FBI background check information. Interestingly enough, i found that if the FBI has to do a background check on you, their website even says Current processing time is 12-14 weeks. Allow additional time for mail delivery.

So, if you have a less than perfect past, expect at least 14 weeks for FBI to check you out, and possibly a couple more weeks tacked on for DPS to process. 16 weeks, that's 4 months of possible agony waiting on approval.
