I was told that all the information is in and she would give my info to the supervisor to send it off for printing. Status on-line showed "Process...." so well see if that changes soon, I will be check daily now!

I actually received an email from Steven McCraw Thursday (my internet has been down till today). Of course it was linked to person "B" (the manager I think) when I hit reply and I was now emailing that person and not McCraw.
I sent an email to person "B" anyway - when it was returned "out of the office until Aug. 31, if needed contact person "C" ", I kind of laughed, decided to decode the email addresses vs. names and emailed person "C" AND Steven C. McCraw the email I originally emailed to person "B". As yet (8+ hours), the email to McCraw hasn't been returned, meaning I guessed his email address correctly.
McCraw's original email to me was an answer to the email I sent Governor Perry's office with a lot of political type gesturing type language in it. To someone who didn't really know what was going on, it sounded like a REALLY GOOD response. Unfortunately for him, It was like the typical DPS talk we all here have already gotten and when placed beside my response - it made absolutely no sense why it was taking soooo long for me to get my license (day 128 from original receipt).
Oh, and I thought since he CC'ed the Governors Chief of Staff (the person who was to relay my email to him), I thought I would do the same. I don't think the DPS talk he gave me is going to please the Gov's Chief of Staff when they read my response. Oh, and I think the "I sent you a copy of my current FFL to assist with my credentials" should pretty much seal it (I hope).

My plan is that the next time I call DPS (my every Wednesday morning call), I will be asking for him or his office instead of talking to the nice lady I have been. I guess we'll see if this does anything.

I have carried several times since I received my plastic earlier this week. But tonight I did the "Wally Walk". I didn't tell my wife until we were back in the car. I wanted to know if she noticed. She had no clue that I was carrying. Now I just have to get used to wearing my belt so tight.

Just call DPS, I promise they will give you every single excuse in the book. A different one every time you call too. Usually, Presidential Election, or Hurricane Ike. Yes, I am referring to an election that was several months ago, and a storm that was a YEAR ago.

140 days since turning the packet in at the DPS office in Austin in person,...

They are sending it out to me as It is back from the printers... Day 124 and still counting until it in my hand...
