Thank you. We will likely just wait for Texas.

I really just stop carrying about every getting the Texas LTC ... I guess I just gave the great state of Texas $140 for nothing other then a headache on my end....

I was saying the same thing not too long ago until my status change to print pending after I submitted supporting documents for a misdemeanor charge in 1995. I sent my Arizona packet off and it was returned because my Texas license to carry class was not conducted by an NRA certified instructor. What is nice is they returned my check and the fingerprint cards. I'm not really sure how to proceed if that is the requirement. My license to carry instructor his certified in police and military instruction. Please let me know how that goes for you. Right now I'm on day 4 of print pending here in Texas so I am hoping it doesn't take much longer before they mail it. Good luck!

Well at least you got your money back!!! My status finally changed after almost 2 weeks of sending in my Mississippi supporting documents. Arizona permit still pending. All I did was send in a copy of my DD214 for the training requirement.

She tells me it's all recieved and not seeing that any further information is needed so I asked if you have 60 days why is my application not finished and she tells me they have 180 days if they want. I said if I had a arrest and something being questioned you have up to 180 days then she tells me well we have up to 8 weeks for processing. Anyone hear of this?

JCC511 wrote:Received a letter today about a (let's call it) legal hiccup from the past in another state. No charges filed and no conviction. On the record, but should have been esponged or non-existent. I guess the record does not go away and has to be explained. Again, it was in another state. For whatever reason, the state of Texas showed it to be in (let's call it) "Anytown PD" and "Anytown County" in Texas. It was not even in Texas. The actual city in the correct state has been called and the process of requesting a document confirming the legal hiccup went nowhere beyond the car ride and holding time until dismissal three hours later. A Texas CHL-78Cwill likely have to be filed as well to be included as additional supporting documents. The letter from DPS was dated 1/13/2017 and today is 1/20/2017. Seemed to take a while for within the state mail. Once they receive the documents that will be uploaded, they should be able to move forward. Just an update for everyone.

But my question is does anyone know where they mail the plastic from? I tried searching online and couldn't find anything. My status as this morning stated mailed so I'm sure y'all can guess I'm ecstatic! I read on a forum awhile back that they don't mail it from Austin and it's made somewhere else. Can anyone answer this?

Mine changed to "Mailed" on 12/28, hasn't come in yet

That stinks man. From what I see 2 days is the norm....has anything ever been lost in the mail for you?

Nope. When they sent me a letter asking for some stuff I missed it took 4 days according to the date on the letter. May have to call if it doesn't show by Wednesday, it will have been two weeks by then.

Just got off the phone, it was actually mailed on the 22nd and they said it should arrive within 14 business days but if for some reason it's lost they won't send a replacement until after 30 days.

When you get it it will be that much more worth it....Praying the shipping gods work a miracle and you get it in the mail tomorrow....Good luck.

Well, guessing it's been lost at this point. First time I haven't received something in the mail. Won't be able to request a replacement until next week.

Seems easier to just send off for an Arizona permit. If I finally get my LTC, I will overlap the 4 years for the Texas one at the 2 year mark with an Arizona one. God knows how long it takes to renew the LTC after this crap. at least I'll have a valid permit while I wait.

Until you said that i didn't know that was possible but i looked at the Arizona concealed weapons website and sure enough it states you can apply as long as you are a US citizen. Would be just amazing to have to apply through another state other than my home state and place of my birth to have a constitutional right to arm myself.
