Re: Me too
Turn arounds have been quite amazing, and well under eight weeks. You will have it much sooner than you think! Good to have you here.

Re: Me too UP-date
Mailed all material on 12/5/2011
12/13/2011
Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received
Photo : Received
Proof of Classroom training : Received
Proof of Proficiency training : Received
Fee : Received
Background Check : Under review
Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review

Well today is 12/21/2011 and nothing has changed since 12/13/2011. Background still under review to close to Christmas for DPS to do any work! I'm sure they are having some pretty good partys instead of working. My son sent his app off on the same day as I did and DPS received it on the same day as they received mine and it still says on their web site Waiting on materials to be received. The sad thing is I know for a fact that there is nothing wrong with either background, not even a traffic ticket. Does anyone know how the process works? and why it woukd be taken so long? Sorry about all the rambling on and on.

Re: Me too
While I still haven't actually received my plastic yet, the waiting seems to get monotonous. Amazing how one little change in the status makes all that go away.
Be patient and keep checking. I have a feeling you will have it either before the new year, or shortly after. Then again, I could be wrong and you may not get it until October of 2013........................

Re: Me too
My "background check under review" took about 3 weeks. That is the longest part of the entire process. I have never been arrested, spent 20+ years in Air Force, Top Secret clearance, cleared for hazardous duty etc etc etc.Banjo1960 wrote:Well today is 12/21/2011 and nothing has changed since 12/13/2011.

Why did it take so long? Maybe because they are slow at times.

Try not to look at the status more than 3 times a day.
