I let my LTC expire
Somehow I let my LTC expire 1 yr and 1 month. I had to do the whole process over again.
Thankfully we are covered by TX Constitutional Carry (Permit less carry) as a fallback plan (better than nothing).
Last time I just renewed online in 2018.
So I know they have 60 Business days for a new application.
My question is, when does the TX DPS LTC website show any updates, currently is does not show anything other than:
How long does it take to actually display any kind of status?
Timeline:
LTC Application Online 11/1/24
Finger Prints/Picture 11/4/24
LTC Class 11/9/24
LTC Class Certificate LTC-100 Upload 11/9/24
1st Business Day would be Monday 11/11/24
60 Business Days would be Friday 1/31/25, not accounting for Holidays
Friday, 2/7/25 add a week for Holidays
Actual Receipt of LTC-TBD

Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

My experience is that status updates are not fast.

Re: I let my LTC expire
Agree with Paladin that the status page is kinda slow to populate updates sometimes
On a positive note, I had students earlier this year report back how long it took to receive their LTCs in the mail. The average was around 2-3 weeks from completion to showing up in their mailbox.
