Any Room For A New Guy?

[RIG78]

New (somewhat) to TX. Previously spent short time residing in Austin (Wells Branch area). Now, out of League City.

Like the sig says... Hope to get the card in a month!

Welcome and God Speed.

I'm in the same boat... My packet was delivered to the DPS on Wednesday (8/8/12).

I wonder which one of us will be holding plastic first... hmmmm???

Guess we'll have to see. LOL. Good luck!

Welcome to the waiting room. You may take my seat.....I got mine yesterday. Mailed 7/1, received 8/9.

[RIG78]

Seems a one-month period is typical. I'm not impatient. I can wait.

[BigGuy]

Mailed mine on July 30th. It just went to Background Check Under Review today. (8/10/2012)
I'll settle for a Bronze in this race.

Welcome aboard! You'll be carrying before you know it.

Good luck.

Hopefully you wait is shorter than mine. I've seen a few on here mail around the same time as me or after and get their plastic. But I still wait.

I mailed June 20, delivered, June 21, and status updated on July 3.

DPS recevied my application on 7:30, it is now pending manufacturing (8/10). I have a clearance from work so that might have spead things up.

Hard to say what's the reason for getting it faster or slower. I've had a clearance since 1986 and was investigated and upgraded to a higher clearance in 1988. My reinvestigation was conducted last year without a problem. I have never been arrested and have nothing more than a couple of speeding tickets is all my years. Yet, I've been in the process since June and waiting on my background check since July 3. I've even had concealed permits in other states.

I just don't get it.

[AJHutton]

Just mailed my packet in... I'm going to just camp out here now.

Camp away...

No status change. From reading around, takes around 2 weeks just to update to "received".

[AJHutton]

Yeah it was a pretty interesting feeling -
Getting back from the post office, just having mailed the packet, and sitting down I'm all done!!!

When does it come, I wonder?

I'll log onto the DPS site.

Now I realize it's completely irrational to do this but I did it anyway. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.
I managed to avoid logging on to the site today, 1 day after mailing. Small steps.
