Just go off the phone with the hotline again. According to them, they recieved my form 100 and all documents were good to go, except the form 100 was missig information at the top of the page, so the sent me a notification letter. (Still not recieved) I asked them about my second copies I emailed them 1 werk ago, and I was told that a form 100 was recieved along with an address change note on the 21st of last month. I'm waitingfor another call back, because I though I forgot to fill everyting out, but everythin was filled out correctly. Just calling again to harass them for some more information. Note that one week ago I was informed they had yet to recieve the form 100 or note.

Finally have some positive news to post. I called DPS again and they said there was an issue and that my DL photo did not get added to my application and that the application slipped through the cracks. They're going to fix it and said I should have my license in a week or so. :woohoo

Hoping to hear something soon, BUT - as I have been NICS delayed (though NEVER denied) for each and every firearm purchase for the past six years, I'm not holding my breath.
Well, I'm pleasantly surprised - my license arrived with today's mail. Exactly 24 days, start-to-finish.
Going to purchase my carry firearm this weekend - most likely a Ruger LC9s.

Goy in after a week on the road, and my license was waiting for me! Class taken on Oct 11th, and packet sent in after that. I suspect it arrived on the 3rd, but not 100% sure...

Purchased an LC9s from Carroll's Gun Shop in Wharton on Saturday afternoon. Great place to do business. Been dealing with them off-and-on for 35+ years!

Talked to Them again today, and they advised me they have no recieved my emails or mailed packets. They gave me an actual email over the phone of one of the managers to get this taken car of. After emailing said person with attatched paperwork, I was emailed back that it has been recieved, and to expect 2/4wks processing. Week six, and looking at possibly getting my plastic after the process of 2-4 weeks, which would be 8-10wks before mailed. :???:
