Got my permit 5 months to the day after mailing in my packet. Here is what I learned. Don't wait, sent in your stuff as soon as possible. Don't rely on inked fingerprints, get them done electronically. Count the days, if you don't get your permit in 60 days or renewal in 45, call them and find out what is the problem. And keep on keeping after them till you get what you want.

StexFJR, Thanks for the info. Prints went in the mail today. I am at 88 days and still counting.

Thanks for the link, hope they do better for me. I feel naked w/o my sidearm. Still have the 12 guage tho but sure is cumbersome.

I mailed my packet to Austin October 02.2006. Allowing three days for mail service (from Denton) I called DPS on December 04 (63 days) They said my fingerprints had been rejected by the FBI and they would mail me a letter to that effect. I wonder how long they would have watied to tell me this if I had not called. I called again December 20 (16 days later) they said they mailed a letter on Dec 04 and that it was returned by PO marked "unable to find addressee". The letter had my correct address! I was told they would resend the letter and it would have instructions how to send the fingerprints electronically. Anyone familiar with how to send electronic fingerprints?
