Re: March applicants
I know its tough but the length of the background check depends on several things - not just arrest/conviction history. Mine, for example, includes four addresses in two states which I know will make my background take longer than someone who has lived in one place for the last 10 years.Macappletex wrote:I guess it is the luck of the draw on who processes your application! Some people get the job done and some drag their feet and spend too much time in the break room!!! My background should be spotless! But people who updated to background check after me are already being printed! Who knows??? My day is coming!!!
It will happen - I have to keep telling myself that too!

Re: March applicants
It depends on several things including how many different addresses you have lived at, if any were out of state, your actual background history, etc...ksome1 wrote:It looks like the background review and application review takes about 7 days, does that sound about right?
It could take you about a week, or, since i moved from out of state just 6 months ago, I believe it will take me somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks for the background.

Re: March applicants
I was at more than 45 days since they signed for my packet before I saw any updates. That's just how long it is taking them to deal with the huge volume of applications.830mel21 wrote:44 days since app left my mailbox. Still no update

Re: Hope no-news is not bad news!
Don't be nervous, and your timeline would probably put you in the April thread since your full packet was mailed in April. They are currently processing mid-March packets - so that means you are probably about 2-4 weeks away from an update online.armanius wrote:Hello everyone! First time poster here. Not sure if I should be on the March or April thread!
Happy to join the forum and co-miserate with everyone else who is "waiting."
03/23 - Completed online application and paid the fee
04/03 - Packet of documents sent to TXDPS via USPS along with all required information
As of today 04/29, the TXDPS website still says "Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on receipt of required materials."
I unfortunately did not track the package of documents I sent in. So I have no way to confirm whether or not TXDPS received the package, and they have not responded to my email inquiries.
This is making me nervous ...
Also keep in mind the online updates may lag behind your ACTUAL status.

Re: March applicants
Things are looking up, they signed for mine on March 14th. No status update on the website but hopefully that means within the next week I will see something! Thanks for the update.ntxshooter wrote:Good news received today. I decided to call DPS and surprisingly was only waiting for 15 minutes. Anyways, I told the lady when I sent it and when they signed for it which was March 13th. She told me that my background check was Complete and they are just waiting for my photo to be added and processed. They have received the photo, but just needed to be entered in computer. Everything else looked good she said. WOW!!! I was beginning to think they had forgotten me. Maybe I'll have it in hand within 15 days. I feel so much better now.

Re: March applicants
You are welcome to do as you please. I did not waste anyone's time by calling to ask if their backlog had increased more than what they had been dealing with a month ago when it was taking 4-5 weeks to get a status update.St1cky wrote:mewalke wrote:You did call too early!! I see that you have about 50 posts here at the forum, so do you actually read anything here or what? Did you not see here on the forums that early march folks are just now seeing changes in status?? You're mid march so what's the hurry? Why waste the good folks time at the DPS for answers you should have already known???

Re: March applicants
Yeah I just got off the phone with DPS, and was told that I was calling way too early because they were just starting to process packets received around March 1.
My application & payment was processed in January, packet received via certified mail 3/14 and I have not had my status update yet. I know they are swamped and backlogged but he wouldn't even let me finish my thoughts, just kept interrupting with "it's way too early" "you're way too early" even though it has been 5 weeks since they received my packet in the mail.
Looks like I have another 2 weeks or more before I even start to see life in my status.
