DPS lady called me last week to update me on my status... she said the only thibg I was waiting on was for "the vendor to download my driver's license picture, so that they can print my license". Seemed weird, but I guess they outsource the actual printing to a 3rd party.

My dad and I turned in all paperwork submitted on April 23rd. He received his license about a month later. As for me, I've been stuck here since May. Should I make some phone calls to see what's going on?

It's strange that the fingerprints have been under review for so long.

I have been visiting this forum since about the time I applied for my license but, just now signed up. So, I'd like to start off by saying thank you to everyone using this. I believe this has done great things for the uniting of our true "Americans" trying to use their rights. Now, I wish I could bring good news but, I literally finished sending in everything needed back in December. Then, I finally got a new screen that had the checklist (which i feel was a good idea for the site) but, mine has said print pending since I got that screen and somehow I still do not have my license or a change to mailed. When I try phoning the number on the site, I get a automated message that says all people are busy, try later and it hangs up on me. I've been calling, sometimes multiple times a day and have yet to get through......? My personal opinion is this is the government holding things up at it's finest. I say that because, I also went to buy a pistol at a gun show and the F.B.I. put a hold on me buying one. I wasn't denied or approved. There were also two military vets at the same table and got a hold while we watched regular people walk away with weapons. Its not a denial or an approval. Funny thing is, I bought a pistol before and absolutely nothing has changed in inbetween the purchase and the hold. I would appreciate any advice or maybe I'm doing it wrong. I'm always up for knowledge and humility so, if it's something I am doing then, please someone let me know.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I'm hesitant to speculate on a conspiracy, but I would definitely recommend contacting your state representative. If you don't know who that is, you can find them here. I have had good luck getting through to the DPS staff, though I haven't called too frequently. (512) 424-7293 is the number to dial - I've had the best luck in the middle of the day.

Thank you very much for the reply! That number is the one I've been trying but, maybe it will be more receptive now that they have implemented a more automated system (that's what I keep hearing lately). Yall are awesome.

Agreed.. I had to call 4 or 5 times immediately back to back until I got through (and put on hold). Also, if you go to the RSD page, you can email them through the "contact us" page. When I did that, I had a response within 24hrs

First post and joining the waiting room! I'll post updates on my status as it moves along.

Application submitted: July 28
Fingerprints: August 5
LTC Class Completed: August 6
CHL-100 Submitted: August 6

I just got an email confirmation stating that the supporting documents were all received so I'm guessing that's a good start. We'll see how it goes.
