I can understand your frustration with DPS when it falls in their lap for being slower than normal but this is not their fault and rests solely in your lap. You did not follow the directions of the application and yes, they now have a long time to complete it. Unless I missed something in your post, you didn't have a special circumstance and a reason not to submit certified copies of the disposition. Because you thought DPS has them on file is not a listed on the application.
*If YES, please fill out and attach Supplement CHL-78C
Indicate all criminal history information, regardless of the amount of time that has passed or in which state the offense occurred. Include juvenile cases,
any assaults of any level and disposition in court, all charges that were dismissed, deferred adjudications and all pending charges, whether or not you
believe these are disqualifying.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (REQUIRED WITH THIS APPLICATION)
I understand that I must submit certified copies of all judgments and charging instruments from the courts or a record search indicating no
record was found, for each Criminal History item listed above. Failure to report an arrest or conviction may result in denial or revocation of a
