I predict that by next week you will be a happy camper.

I'd say next 3 days most likely.

But you're 75 days short of your year goal!

Well, he could send it back.... :D

That's one goal I don't mind missing.

Let me get right on that, oh wait, NO!!!!!

Okay,
I bet I'll beat your record... I am currently at 274 days.. I check the status daily, and as of this morning it still says "Processing Application". I live in Harris County and I have heard that this may be a big part of the problem as to why it is taking so long...

I also had my application come back once for a missing date on one of the addresses, and most recently it came back a 2nd time where they requested a Criminal History report from the last state I lived in... I forwarded the report on to them as soon as I received it, and now I am in the waiting line again.

At this point, I will be pleased if I see my plastic before April of this year (the one year mark).

I am thinking about starting to write some letters at this point just to insure that I actually have plastic in my hand BEFORE the 1 year mark passes.

Anybody know who my state representatives are for Houston, TX? Or can you recommend anyone else that I should be sending a letter to?

I thought that Utah took a long time. In comparison to you, it didn't hold a candle. Why don't you go for your Utah CCW which is recognized in Texas? You may get it before your Texas CHL.

+1 day=275

If I were going to get a CWP from another state, it would have been from my home state of Florida, and yes, I would have had it LONG ago...

Since I am a resident of Texas, I wanted to do things the right way..

I'll keep this updated daily.

What have you done to expedite the situation?

I've started calling the DPS hot line and leaving messages everyday. They keep putting me through to a voice mail for a Marianne, but I never hear back from anyone. I think they probably just delete the messages without review.

If you have any suggestions-I would sincerely appreciate hearing them. I'll be on a letter writing campaign later this week if nothing changes in the next day or so.


Though I have been lax on my part for not getting after them up to this point, is it really my responsibility to ride them? When I call-NO ONE will give me the status of my application, they all just transfer me to the "girl that is handling my file"-which is the recording I mentioned above.

+2=280

Insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting a different result. I'd have switched tactics a few months ago. LOL Like going the state rep route, or demanding a supervisor after she hadn't returned more than 2 phone calls might have been better than continuing to call for her.
