Ret, I can picture you hobbling to the mailbox. I know you only had your ankle rebuilt, but I picture you having a full leg cast and that stiff leg kicking out to the side in a looping motion as you head to the mailbox.............

Still no plastic. Maybe tomorrow. I've waited this long so what's a few more days right?

Boom, me too. Looks like many of us got a status change today. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few days.

lol Mike, your imagination isnt too far off. Originally was 3 breaks and two torn ligaments... 4/20 they put in 3 pins, an anchor and wired what was left of the ligaments back to bone. They put a full cast on it up to the knee yesterday actually. Have 4 more weeks of no weight bearing at all on that leg. My wally walk will be a wally scooter cruise

I was all in 3/3 as well, please let me know if/when you get yours!

I'm starting to notice that trend as well, I'm tempted to call him myself and see if I get the same response.

Very annoying that we can't get an accurate status update without feeling like we are being told something just to get off the phone.

If you do call, please let us know what he says.

This morning it wasnt Reggie returning those calls to Reggie's VM, it was a female.

I just spoke to my younger brother this morning who is a LEO w College Station PD. He just got hired on w Austin PD and will not be eligible to carry as a LEO for 4 months so applied for his LTC. He submitted his supporting docs and was all in date 1/21. According to DPS form: License to carry a handgun online application checklist, "Active Texas Peace Officer Only: Are not required to provide fingerprints. Please provide a completed consent form that is available under the downloadable documents. The department will attempt to verify proof of employment, If further documentation is needed you will be notified." The closest thing to a consent form that he could find under the downloadable documents section was CHL-85 Authorization for release of records, which he submitted on 1/21. Apr 25 he contacted the number for DPS that I posted here a few days ago and was able to leave a voicemail in regards to his status. Today he received a phone call back. He was informed that he has been placed on a wait, bc CHL-85 is NOT the proper consent for. and they are waiting on him to submit that. When he inquired as to where to find the consent form under the downloadable documents, the response was "Oh, yeah that hasn't been uploaded to the website yet". What about the 'if further documentation is needed you will be notified?', "well in the event additional documents are needed DPS can take up to an add'l 180 days". And how can he have prevented this? "By contacting RSD w any questions by phone or email" to which he asked the phone that is always busy or the email that goes unanswered unless it is a stock form generic reply? "Silence"....

Application: 02/17/2016
Fingerprints: 02/24/2016
All-In Confirmation: 02/24/2016
Status: No Change
In Hand: TBD

Ok, well just got off the phone with RSD. My application was sent to print on April 18th!!!!!
However, I'm still not showing a status update online. She did advise that it would be anywhere from 14-21 business days once it's sent to print to arrive. (I'm kind of thinking the printers are getting overwhelmed too...)

My confirmation email was Feb 19, looks like its time for me to call and check on mine...(on hold now, only took 13 calls, must be a record)
