Congrats!

Make sure you report back on your required Wally Walk LOL

I ordered a Tucker "The Answer" around August 18th. I was quoted 4-6 weeks til receipt. The Wally Walk will be a couple of weeks down the line.

I received my plastic in the mail yesterday. 30 days, door-to-door. Not too bad for folks in Austin.

The overnight update fairy shows that my plastic has now been mailed. I should have it in the early days of next week.

Too bad my Turner holster will not be here for anothe 1-2 weeks.

That's not fair. Your application was received the day after mine but completed on the same day. :-(

Seriously, they must batch them up in 2-3 day groups and those with no problems seem to be completed together.

Last night's update shows my background check is complete and manufacturing in pending.

I may still be on track to having plastic in hand by Monday the 13th.

I'm still hung up on the background check. There is nothing in my background that would be an issue. I really expected a status change over last weekend.

Oh well.

Follow up on this... my drivers license came in the mail today. Good thing. I was a bit worried about carrying with the CHL while I had the temporary license. Probably wouldn't cause any problems, but I'd still rather have matching plastic than the temporary that I printed online.. The new drivers licenses are interesting too.. like they're printed on a solid piece instead of laminated.

Congrats on the new plastic. I think you will be OK with the temp DL because the computers in Austin are in synch even if you are still waiting for the "real" DL.

Awesome. "Safety in numbers" I suppose.

I figure everything is fine since it says mailed and all.. but just found it odd.

I hope my timeline stays at a week to 10 days behind you.

You seem to be on a similar timeline as a few of us so far. IF yours remains the same, I'm going to go ahead and call your background check being complete on September 5! Who wants to bet? (knock on wood)

Don't want to jinx you!

The DPS seems to really have their stuff together lately. I can't imagine waiting 90+ days like a lot of people did just last year..

I think you are probably right on the money with that estimate. Thank goodness for those weekend database updates.

I'll go one further and guess that I'll have plastic in hand by Monday, September 13th.

Thanks to weekend updates to the DPS website I now know that my fingerprint review is complete.

Yea.

I guess I need to get serious about finding a holster I like now!

Woohoo! Some progress!

A week from online information available to fingerprints approved... let's hope the background check only takes another week! (knock on wood)

Congrats on the progress. I've seen some folks that say the background check may follow by only a few days.

I'm going to do my best to wait until mid-next week to check my status again.
