Today was the day! I was working today and my dad sends me a text saying I got it. I almost left just to get it. The bad thing is that I have to work tomorrow and I can't conceal in uniform. Also, the only way I can carry a weapon, in uniform, is if it's part of my duty.
Again thanks a lot for giving me a place to talk about the wait. It was a horrible 36 days, but I made it!

:thewave

Congrats JMCruz! :anamatedbanana

I called DPS this morning and receieved a very pleasant response of call back in 2 weeks....... They just told me what I already knew from the web site. Everything is clear and my background check is under review. The nice young lady had no interest of looking into why or looking any further. I guess I can try again later to see if I can get the same guy that was listed as being helpful in a previous post...

I assume you're looking for a black one? I haven't seen any online for a bit, but several vendors had them at the gun show in Houston over the weekend.

Yes, looking for a black grip with either hard chrome or parkerized slide. I guess I might have to road trip it to the nearest gun show.

I'm not sure if any of them were parkerized, I think most (if not all) were blued. Hope you can find the one you're looking for.

jdx---that is so frustrating. You must be going crazy!

To my fellow Mailed 9/16ers...sorry to burst any bubbles, but no plastic in today's mail. Maybe better luck to you if you are closer to Austin...or Sri Lanka, wherever these things are mailed from. :waiting: :totap: :waiting: :totap:

Hate to burst your bubble but you're probably getting it on the 22nd. It took 5 days mailing days for me to get mine. Mine was postmarked for 2 days after it said mailed. Thinking back about it I feel stupid checking the mail the day it was postmarked. :cryin

I am right on the cusp so to speak of an August/September application. I mailed on 8/31 and the post office shows my app as delivered on 9/2. My first update was 9/09 so I really can't complain too much..... My problem is I am watching the September 2011 Application room and seeing people who saw their first updates later than mine passing me in the process. How much can I push this with DPS? They are telling me to sit tight and call back in a few weeks but it is pretty frustrating. Any thoughts?
