Ya know, I wonder... If I called one of my County LEO Friends, and had them run the county BG Check for DPS, and then mail it to Austin..
I wonder if they'd accept that
We do favors for the county all the time for work, and they have done quick BG Checks for us on some people we've hired.
Normally its just a "yea, they're clean" sort of response.. but, the other day we got a "I have 3 units en route, running hot, keep him there" response...
That was exciting...
Needless to say... he doesn't work here anymore

Hi everyone!
New to posting here but not a new reader. I just wanted to give some hope to the April applicants. I checked my status this morning and was elated to see it changed to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active."
FWIW, I took my class on 4/18, sent the packet on 4/21, and received the pin number in the mail around June 4. Hope to have plastic in hand by Friday. I work and live in construction central, er, Parker county, with previous residence and work in Tarrant county.
I'm a new applicant, not a renewal.
Good luck to the rest of my fellow April CHLers!

**** Update **** (but slightly off topic)
Wow....I'm impressed my passport arrived yesterday. I sent it off at the post office 6th July along with my Certificate of Naturalization, and both came back to me yesterday....9 days end-to-end.
Now...Austin, take a lesson from the US Passport Office please!

I am now at day 84 and thought I would be a glutton for punishment and called DPS to check on my status since my bg check had been in for more than a week. The person I spoke with remembered me from last week. I said that I was calling because I will be at 90 days next week and if I am not approved, I will have to file a request for a hearing. She emphatically said "no you do not". I said that the statue is worded in such a way, that it is automatically denied if not issued within 90 days. She said that It is not my fault that they are behind (I bit my tongue) so I do not need to do anything. She then said that since my bg check is completed, the technician just has to clear it. I asked what the technician has to "clear"? She told me that "it is waiting for her to clear it so that it can be printed".
So apparently there is only one person who can "clear" an application to allow it to be printed, as the person I spoke with twice referred to the person as "her" (a specific person). No ETA on how long this part would take.
I will not immediately file a request for a hearing once I pass day 90, but I will file one before day 120, unless Mr. Cotton's action comes first.

Sounds like they're scared of the hearings or something
Or are they scared that we actually might hold them to the law?
