One thing I've not mentioned previously is my wife and I took the class together, submitted at the same time and her plastic arrived yesterday. She beat me by a day. Looks like it will be a hand in hand, pistol in pistol Wally Walk.

We are going to do the same, it will be so romantic walking holster to holster with my sweetheart.

Sent an email to DPS today and received an answer five (that's 5) minutes later.
Here's their answer: The license is being printed. You should receive the license within 1-2 weeks.
Due to the heavy increase in applications, the process is taking longer than normal.

Brighter days are ahead!

Congrats tartex! Good news! It won't be long now, and I think you'll get it within 2 weeks.....more like a week to 10 days if not sooner, IMO.

Long-time lurker. First-time poster. It's been nice to track the processing times, so I'll toss mine in.

I got my license in the mail this evening.

08/25 Package mailed (from the East coast on a business trip)
08/27 DPS received package
09/22ish PIN# arrived
??/?? Status Complete
11/06 Plastic in hand

That's right, status still says "processing".

71 days. I have had several white-collar jobs in the last 10 years. The only crime on my record was that I moved way north of the Red River for a couple of years.

FWIW, my father-in-law mailed his app into the state 6 days before me and received his card on 11/02. He's been retired for about 7 years, but he's only lived in Texas for about 8 or 9 years of his life.

I'll be the one that you can't tell is carrying a Kahr PM9 in a Crossbreed MiniTuck. Comfy.

Stay safe,

Veterans Day - Thanks to all servicemen and servicewomen (past and present) for your service. Be Safe!!!

And, thanks to Texas DPS. Although it's a national holiday, somebody down there took the time to update my application status. Today it reads: "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active".

Looks like it's all up to the USPS now.

Super congrats tartex!

See what good things happen to people when they join the forum?
