If I can talk the hubster into it, it might be an Outback Outing. I think this deserves a dinner out!

jumped through every hoop required, ran home a few minutes ago and checked mail...and there it was!!! 95 days mailbox to mailbox, which I don't think is so bad considering I had to get extra paper work done.

WHOOP! Checked status yesterday, still had fingerprints and background under review...looked today and those are now completed and my license is "Manufacturing pending!"

Letter from doctor mailed Monday, June 10. Willing myself to not check status for a few days. Right now I am at 84 days since I mailed in the application packet.

Letter from the Texas Department of Health Services, with forms for my doctor to fill out. I had submitted a letter from him with my application but I guess they still require the proper paperwork. It is fast becoming the principle of the matter...I WILL do what they require, just to show I can overcome this incident in my past and get this license...

Well, took my class back in March, did all the paperwork and included a letter from my family doctor, who I have been to for the past 9 years and who knows my past history. Yesterday, I received a letter that my file will go to the Medical Advisory Board. Can anyone tell me more about this process?

I had intended to go ahead and put it down, and the input I have received seems to confirm my intentions.

Looking forward to checking out other posts here...seems like an informative place to look around.

Thanks!

I am brand new to this board, brand new to gun ownership and hopefully, soon, will be a brand new CHL holder. My question has to do with the Reported History section of the application. I am not concerned about listing my criminal history information (a class B check charge in 1999 for which I did probation and was released with a clean slate) but I am confused about the Treatment History Information section. After searching for and reading other threads on this topic, I am still confused. I admitted myself to a non medical treatment facility in February 2000, where I spent 45 days and have been clean and sober ever since. I see that some comments on some of the threads I read referred to a 5 year period but the application asks, "Have you EVER been treated and/or admitted to a facility for drug, alcohol and/or psychiatric care;" SInce I have been treated, I do feel that I should answer, "Yes" and fill out the supplemental form. However, I would like to know how, if I didn't put it down, they would know that I had been to treatment. One of the threads I read said that the person received a letter saying that since he had self reported, he had to get a bunch of forms from his doctor. This won't even be a problem for me, as the doctor I have had for 9 years is well aware of my past history. Since I admitted myself to the facility and it was a non-medical facility, I have never received any type of official diagnosis of addiction.

I purchased my gun yesterday and nothing came up on the check that gave them any pause.

I would just like a little more clarification, if someone could help me in this area. I want to be honest on the form, but I don't want to create any delay if it can be helped.
