Application: 12/7/15
LTC Class: 1/30/16
Fingerprints: 2/5/16
All-In Confirmation E-mail from DPS: 2/6/15
Status: No Change
In Hand: TBD

I have called DPS several times and received the same scripted answer. E-mailed my state senator on 4/12/16 and received this reply:

Hi Chris,
I'm so sorry to hear about this. I've reached out to DPS and asked them to give me a status update on your application and explanation for this delay. I've also spoken with our policy analyst who handles this subject to let him know that there seems to be a backlog developing over there. As soon as I hear back from the agency on your license I'll be in touch.

Thank you,
Leah

I needed to send in some extra documents and I did so last night. Immediately I received the email that the DPS received uploaded documents (I'm sure that is just an automated system).

They have procedures that state that they now have 180 extra days to complete my application and make a decision...

Current wait: 90 days

Estimated license date: October 18th (180 days later).

Is it 180 additional days or 180 days total from date of application? If it's the latter, then you'd be looking at July.

If I read correctly it said an "additional 180 days." I'm guessing its their way of saying who cares if he paid us to do a job in timely manner.

Now to start stalking my mailman! Thanks for all the support friends! I'll report back once plastic hits my palms.

My advice- if you're within the 60 days, take a big chill pill & forget about it. Mark the 60th day on your calendar & don't call them until that time. If you're 60+, simply call your local rep's office, it's that easy.

Infoman, can you clarify what you mean by local reps office? Is this the local DPS or a State representative?

Cheers,

I called just this monring and waited on hold for 40-45 minutes. I got a young lady very polite but to the point. She told me my license was issued on the 2nd

Now I stalk the mailman. My mailman looks like WIllie Nelson so this could be fun. Everytime I see him, I think of the Toby Keith song I'll never smoke weed with Willie again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OJWw07oPAE
