My boss (who lives and works in Denver) flubbed an email one day, and sent me (instead of one of his Denver buddies) info all about his new huntin' rifle.
10 seconds later he sent a "oops, ignore that". I sent a response telling him all about the AR15 I'd just finished building. :cool:
Since then ...

Got a call from someone in Rep. Wooley's office yesterday, saying that there were a number of people who had contacted them with the same issue (excessive delays) and that they'd asked the DPS to expedite the processing of my app, and that I should get a call from someone at DPS this week.

Today ...

Got a call from Wendy in State Representative Bevery Wooley's office yesterday.
She said that there were a number of people who had contacted them about excessive delays in CHL processing.
Supposedly someone from DPS will be contacting me this week. They've been asked to expedite the processing of ...

After another worthless call to DPS today ("Gulf coast area has been delayed... it shouldnt be too long now.."), I gave up and wrote a short note to my state senator and state rep.
It probably won't have any effect, but it makes me feel better.

I finally gave up today (day 158) and after yet another fruitless call to DPS, wrote a nice short letter to my State Representative and State Senator.

I don't expect it to have any effect at all (especially if the "one person doing all the background checks for Harris County" stuff is true), but at ...

Harris County people - Here's what "pdubyoo" said in the September Applications Thread. I believe that it's worth re-posting.


Anyway, I received a call today from a Leut. from the Texas Highway Patrol here in Harris County, following-up on a letter that I sent to my Rep. He said that the chief of ...

I'm at Day 144 (waiting on the HC background check) and am starting to wish that I was back in Oklahoma.

In the county where I grew up, my mother is the local LEO (Sheriff's Office) responsible for signing off on CHL permit applications. :lol:

Wife and I bought her a S&W 6904 for a Christmas ...

Finally called just now to check on my app.

Last time I called (a couple months ago) I got a grouchy, crankly lady who read off a spiel about how, due to the hurricane, my app could take "an undefinite time" to get finished and that they were waiting on the background check.

This time, I got a ...

I'm thinking I should probably start contacting people at this point....

I'm in Houston, but I'm annoyed that they've not gotten the background check stuff in by now, it's been almost 90 days.

Anybody else get a letter from DPS a day or two ago that states the application/processing process may be delayed indefinitely due to the effects of Hurricane Ike?

They mailed the letter the same day that I happened to email and call and was told that they were still waiting on the background ...

So I'm now on Day 78 and still "Processing Application", but I didn't expect to have anything until at least the first couple weeks of October anyway.
