I called back today and was told that my app had cleared and my info was being sent to the printer and I should have it in three to 4 weeks. Three to four weeks seems a bit long just, we'll see what happens.

By the way, the online status still claims Processing Application

Hello everyone! I'm a new member and I just wanted introduce myself. I'm just waiting like everyone else...or almost everyone else.

Welcome aboard! Hope your wait is not toooo long. Where are you from?

hi dklag37 , welcome .

don't leave us hangin ..
we need details .. gun preference , what county you live in , favorite color , ect.

P.S. mine is blue .

I originally submitted my application on March 10th.

Around 60 days later, they sent me a letter stating I needed to send payment. They lost my money order, and when I spoke to them, they sounded like it happens all the time. So I sent a check( cashed on May 22nd) and paid to get my money order traced. (It was never cashed, so I got my money back). So my time restarted over. It's been over 90 days, over 160 days total.
After two two failed attempts to get a hold of Sen. Mike Jackson, I was able to get in contact with my state Rep. John E. Davis. They supposedly lit a fire under DPS. We'll see.

hi savagejon
welcome to the forum .

i was under the impression that if there was one thing DPS does right , it would be getting the money .

HI savagejon, welcome to the forum and glad to have you with us!

good luck, but I doubt they did anything - that is just a politician speaking

From what i've delt with already, I would completely agree, just TALK.

Sorry for leaving you guys hangin...haha. I've been pretty busy. Well, I have a very small collection which consists of a Beretta 92FS Brigadier, HK USP 45, AR-15, and for my carry weapon, I purchased a Walther PPS 40. I live in Dallas county and my favorite color is blue as well.

Here is my timeline!
