UPDATE.

In my last post I had stated I had sent an email to DPS and received the following reply. "Your application will be mailed in the next 3-4 weeks." Well I had questions about the reply.

So I emailed DPS again. and asked if they meant my license. This is the reply I received back. "Yes, I meant license will be mailed in the next 3-4 weeks."

So I guess with the overload of Apps. They are running at 90 days per license's.

Some sit on processing application for weeks. In the end I think it's close to the same. See my time line below. Long on one short on the other.

Good Luck,

Subject: 60 Day Application Status

Good Afternoon,

First of all, I understand your office has seen a signifigant spike in applications. I thank you all for your work.

I hate to bug you, but I believe my application has been processing for roughly 60 days and I wanted to check the status. Do you know yet if my fingerprints are OK? If so, has the background check been completed? Also, I assume there is nothing I can do to help, however, if there is, please let me know.

Thanks,

... wait wait wait

Yep, I figger RugerP345, Longhorn92, and I could potentially be next up given the pacing of the latest "App. completed" folks, and the fact that we're sitting on Day 88, 87, & 86 respectively. I'll fire off an email to DPS & my rep on Tuesday (which will be Day 90) if I haven't been treated to a status change by then.

Since we are on similar timelines, I'm curious to see who gets their plastic first. This would be a great indicator as to how things are run over in Austin. I bet they have no logical process, i.e. FIFO. The race is on Men!

May 30....been waiting so long....don't remember how it feels to be happy....must.get.plastic!!!

Count me in as well, day 81 here and a classmate of longhorn92. Although it seems like they still have a few February apps in the queue.
