Oh, man. I'm apparently in the long wait group now if the mid to late January folks are getting their plastic in the mail! I was all in either 1/6 or 1/8. Still nothing. Emailed my COUNTY rep... May try state and see if they have pull. I'll give the county folks a few more days to fuss at DPS. They called me the following day and said they'd get someone at DPS in touch with me. It's just Monday, but I'm hoping they'll speed it up. I called another number at DPS today and was told I was in the queue to be processed in the next 7-14 days, but it should be closer to 7. I may get a little more verbal next week. I've apparently done a good job forgetting about it! I didn't realize I was around 77 real people days and the end of this week should be close to 60 gov't days. Hm. Back to forgetting about it for the week!

Where can I find out who the state rep is? What did you say in the email to the state rep? I got my confirmation 1/21/16. Thank you in advance

You can just Google "who is my state rep" and email from their website. I basically said it'd been over 60 days, that I had seen on the internets that the state rep could expedite things, and that I respectfully requested that service, if they'd be so kind. And they were; they even called back to let me know they'd been in touch with DPS and to let them know if they could do anything else to assist me. I guess they know gun owners vote.

Interestingly, a lady from DPS called me yesterday evening to tell me that they couldn't expedite my request. As she was talking to me, I guess she saw on her computer screen/call log that I had been called earlier in the day. She asked if it was a man who called. I answered that it was, and that he had told me it should be sent out Friday or early next week. She told me the only man in the dept. who would be making outbound calls was a manager, and that his word trumped hers. So I guess I'm still on for plastic next week. I sure hope so, anyway. My brother, who took the class and applied with me, is now contacting his rep as well...

I logged on to check my status late last night, just after midnight, and saw no update. I logged on this morning, on my 92nd day of wait, about 7:45 and saw some glorious new options laid before me.

Now to start stalking my mailman! Thanks for all the support friends! I'll report back once plastic hits my palms.

Well I sent my firs email to the state rep from Dwnton, Myra Crownover.

I said:

Good morning Mrs. Crownover.

I am a student at University of North Texas, and was hoping you could be of assistance. I was told contacting my state rep. could expedite the process for my LTC. I respectfully request that if you would be so kind as to contact DPS/RDS and inquire about where my application currently stands, I would greatly appreciate it.

Confirmation email: 1/21/16
Full name: <Name>
DOB: <Date of Birth>

Let's see where this goes. Thanks again!
