Gosh dw, what are you complaining about? You didn't even make it into the "+100" club!
Super congrats!

Good going dwdog!
Yours is along the same timeline as mine Except DPS misspelled my name.
When I called them they said I did it
Told them no I know how to spell it.
Called yesterday to see if they fixed of course not.
Since I had them on the phone asked if they needed new photos,prints,blood,etc.
Was told just waiting on bg check.
Great under a misspelled name.
Asked if this would start me all over and was told no.
We'll see

Misspelled your name? Seriously?
I mean.. is it spelled right on your driver's license? What about the Application? On the Tr-100? Maybe on the check you sent in.... no, apparently you spelled it wrong on all of those, huh?

Good job DPS... and then they actually blamed it on you...

Ok did I read it wrong or what? I got my application back as incomplete. I didn't list my existing 5 years residents or job history. I was under the understanding that if I had live there or worked there 5 years or more that was all they needed. No! they want you to list how long you were there. So I filled out the back side. My bad. Well they said it would take about 2 to 3 weeks for it to get back into the stream of paperwork.
Congrats to all the May applicants that have received their plastic. I am still patiently waiting.

Well, I guess I will come to the May room since I mailed in May, although did not get the change to processing until June 10.

Going right home to check the mail!

Got it on Friday! Just happened to be a gun show in Abilene on Saturday. I didn't find anything I liked, but I picked up a little .22 deringer at a pawn shop. Did my "Academy Walk" today. Didn't have any reason to go to Wal-Mart. I was terrified, i thought for some reason that the theft prevention devices would ring when I passed through. (I know better, but I was just paranoid).

Went to a restaurant, didn't carry because there was the possibility I might drink. Walked into another restaurant later and I think they have an improperly posted 51% sign.

Is there an "etiquette" post about going into places?

watch out , those greeters have a sharp eye .

Super congrats Tankueray!! That's got to be one of the shorter processing times I've seen......about 98 days or so.

Maybe we should start a new post and call it Funniest/horror story from DPS
The winner? could win some type of prize.
Hope it isn't me!

I guess if you consider the post office, it took right at 90 days. May 2nd to Aug. 7th. (Technically, they put it in the mail Monday).

I did my "Academy Walk", I was really freaked out. Went into two restaurants, one I think has an improper 51% sign. It's crazy how defensive they get when you ask to see their liquor license.
