heck of birthday

Post by Ninjaneer »

Well guys, just checked today and: "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active".

Its been a rough wait. I took my class on March 1st (Saturday). I mailed it in around the 4th, and it was in Austin on the 6th. Month and half passed by and I got my PIN. Weeks later I got notice to retake fingerprints. I sent those in early/mid June. Then nothing, for a long time. Emailed my state rep, lt. gov, and the Gov. Other than automated responses nothing. 2 weeks pass by and a call from my rep's office gave me a direct line to somebody from DPS. DPS said my new prints basically sat there for almost a month with no action taken, and they were currently "away". finally, today,my birthday, is the good news.


Now to check the mailbox every day until it comes.


Be patient fellas, be patient...

Congrats! You should get a full extra year out of it since it's issued on your birthday.
