Congrats!!!!! on getting your plastic. Let us know how your Wally Walk goes.

Thanks! And, thanks for the reminder re: the traditional Wally Walk.
I'm betting you and Dennisz have plastic in your mailboxes no later than Thursday.

Guess it's just not my week.

Dennisz, my timeline is almost identical to yours. I called, today, and was quite surprised at the report. Hopefully, we both weren't delayed by 'fat-fingers' in the data entry department. (see my updated post for the full report)

Keep us posted and best of luck!

New to this excellent forum; kudos to everyone for informative, interesting, and (often) entertaining posts.
Here's my timeline also referred to as my "exercise in patience" by my better 90%:

11/25: submitted on-line application
12/1: fingerprints
12/6: CHL course (Great job by the instructor and staff at Eagle Gun Range/Lewisville)
12/8: confirmation email of supporting documents
TBD: plastic in hand

Safe and merry Christmas to all--

1/07 UPDATE: Called DPS to check on status; was told "there was some sort of glitch regarding your background check" and that "the file is being processed".

In my best "adult ego state of mind", I calmly requested clarification since I've had no issues whatsoever in my background or any 'glitches' ever appear in other background checks, including 2 within the past 60 days. The DPS representative explained that apparently one of their "data entry technicians had mistakenly indicated my application included "self reported" arrests during the last 10 years. Instead of entering "N" in the internal form, the technician must have, in error, entered "Y" in the block".

As a result, the trooper working my file began a search for more information regarding a "self-reported arrest" that I never had or ever reported. After not finding a record of any previous arrest, the officer (I'm assuming) double-checked my original application and discovered the discrepancy.

What next and how do I proceed? I was told to "just keep doing what you're doing, check the status for updates; everything is good and we have everything we need to process your file". Hmmm...okay, the exercise in patience will continue.

Lessons learned: (1) Mr. Murphy is still alive and lives nearby...lol...(2) Fat-fingers can strike anywhere, anytime. (3) "Trust but verify"--President Ronald Reagan;
New year's best to all of you!
