It takes a long time because of the influx in recent applications. Between December of 2015 and February of 2016 they received 139,000 applications. That's a huge increase due considering the year before they received 59,000. They are horribly understaffed and it does not help whatsoever that people who are waiting are constantly calling in to get a status update.

I hope you wait isn't too long, give them their 60 days by law then I would call to inquire

It's a little suspect because everyone who seems to call gets that same update. 7-10 days to process because my background check came back. It's worth a shot since you've been waiting so long.

If you get anything said other than that please update us. I'm curious to see if this number is better or just another ploy to get us to stop calling RSD/DPS.
A little after my 60 day mark I called this number and spoke to a gentleman that looked up my app and my wife's and found that the background checks were back and they were just waiting for final processing. He passed them on to someone to get them completed and on to print. He told me 7-10 days depending on mail time. This was on a Tuesday and our plastic was in our hands on Monday. It worked for us.

BTW they do not mail directly from Austin. Each batch goes to a company in San Antonio that puts them in envelopes and actually mails them out. That probably takes a couple of those 7-10 days.
Thanks for your confirmation. I was told the same. Hopefully I'll receive mine soon too. That's good news. I will pass it along.
