Awww, you lucky ducks... hoping mine comes tomorrow.Hawkeye09 wrote: Got mine today too!
for your good fortune! Where are you guys located? I'm in Austin & curious about where it was postmarked from.remanifest wrote: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.Vonic2185 wrote: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.

I finally got the bright idea to check the status again online today and saw this (it did not indicate anything before--maybe they are actually getting around to mine). I emailed a few times using the "Contact Us" form on the website and got a few canned responses and 1 actual response from a guy who said it was in progress.

I've seen some guys get the status update in the morning then have the background check clear in the afternoon!RyanR wrote:I don't understand either. Seems impossible to do a thorough background check in a day, but some are done in a day. Then others weeks or months. I didn't even have a status page until the 4th. But since then it hasn't changed once. It seems like the actual process could be further along than the status page actually shows. It may just depend on who is assigned to process yours. I thought mine would be quick because I've already had a similar background check through them with fingerprints for a different license I hold. Strange. I was all in 7/24 and I'm still under background review.
Also, does the status change really only update overnight? Just curious if anyone ever had a midday change. My only change was overnight. I'm just curious if it's even worth checking in the day time.
I called DPS & let them know I was surprised I hadn't received the card yet. Asked where they shipped the cards from, and was advised it would either ship from Austin or San Antonio. Once I told the very nice lady that I was in Austin, she asked to review my file, and noticed that my address was missing my apartment number on the application. About $14 later, I'm back to the print + mail phase... frustrating, but the people at DPS have been nice every single time I've talked to them. Seems the speed is picking up - for those who have been waiting a while, I'd recommend giving them a call and talking to someone who can give you some kind of direction.remanifest wrote:Still no plastic today... this is odd.
Based on your timeline looks like I have about one more week.andro9008 wrote:*Update*
