What??????

Make sure you didn't enter the information in the Instructor license fields.

Thanks Keith :) my bad.

Processing Application

Had the same thing happen, a couple of the members were kind enough to point out that I was probably clicking on the wrong box. Make sure you are clicking on the top and not the bottom which is for instructors. It is easy to click the wrong one and of course( I am pretty anxious.... ) Hope that helps!

Being a recent applicant, I'm already a little irritated... I hope this is not a sign of things to come in the near future..
I mailed our (mine and wife's) packets via certified mail on Tuesday 2-16. Tracking them online, shows they "Arrived at Austin unit" on 2-18-10 @ 8:53 am.
Well, they have STILL not delivered them to DPS (or at least no delivery is noted as of yet)...
I know I may be a little impatient.. But dang, 2 days from Tyler to Austin, then sits there 4 days without moving ???

Still Processing...


.... still haven't find the right gun to buy.... still don't know if I am transfering to Ireland or not....

So mad, I could chew nails... BOTH (mine and wife's) packages were scanned in Austin Post Office LAST Thursday morning at 8:53. But that's it.. That's the last time the packages were scanned. DPS still doesn't have them, Postal Service doesn't know where they are. AND the Postal Money orders I sent with them can be tracked to see if they've been cashed yet.. For a $ 5.40 fee.. What kind of crap is that?? I buy them from them, they lose them, then I gotta pay MORE to see if they've been cashed? And the apathy by the various postal employees when you call the 800 number for customer service..
Sorry guys, just venting a little bit.. Oh yeah, they told me "well sir, don't assume them lost until 30 days from the last scan has elapsed"
WHAT ????

I feel obligated to tell you guys..
Even though the POST Office still says our packets are sitting in the Austin Terminal, a nice email to DPS has uncovered the fact that my application HAS BEEN RECEIVED and is in normal processing at this time.. my wife's is still not "in the system" but I'm sure it's there as well..
Thanks for letting me vent guys !! I was pleasantly surprised at the quick response time of the DPS people when I emailed them this morning..

Two very hateful words.
"Processing Application"

Is it tomorrow yet? cus I already checked status today,,,and I'm stillllll processing.

The friendly lady at DPS was nice enough to let me know this morning that my wife's has been received and is in processing as well..
No PINs yet, but I'm sure those will arrive anyday now.. I hope.. LOL

Thought I would make my first post. And be the first Feb 2010 complete to post.

Dates are on my signature.

My application is complete and now I am waiting on the plastic.

Outbreaker,

Congrats!!! Hopefully it won't be long before the plastic arrives. I don't know if you've looked at the Jan applications, but you can get an idea of the time frame you are looking at. Welcome to the forum, lots of good info out here.

I looked at the times in Jan. I am on the money on all the times so far. By them I should have plastic by this time next week.

Dang Outbreaker, no fair cutting in line.

Still processing.... looks like I will be flying to Ireland for the interview in a few weeks. May have to wait 3 years to buy a gun.
