You're the second person in a very short period of time who's app has taken WAY less than normal to get...from Denton county. I hope I'm another!

I have been dreaming about this gun and finally got me one. Now if my license would just arrive so I can carry it :)

Question to everyone in October.
Who is from Harris County.

I am curious to see the time it takes for us to get our plastic.

I'm in Harris and sent my application almost the same time as you. It looks like we will be waiting for sometime due to a delay in background checks. In the September application thread, someone found out there is only one person who works on the Harris county background checks. This person was also re-assigned for 5-6 weeks after the hurricane so nobody was working on them during that time. There must be a huge backlog.
