After 9 months of waiting and debating with the vacuous system that is the State of Texas DPS, I have finally received my License to carry.

Now before giving me the Hooray! Just know it was not from the state of Texas that I received this license, but rather from the Great State of Arizona; which their carry laws are reciprocal of Texas.

Arizona License to Carry:

*$60
* 2 months (submitted Aug.22nd)
* 2 fingerprint cards
*A copy of your firearms certification

Seriously Texas? Step Your Game Up!! :cheers2:


Can u open carry In texas with an arizona chl? Just curious?

Yes - Arizona has reciprocity with Texas:

Been waiting since 8/12 for the background to complete - everything else is done :/ Wondering if they received my packet, hadn't yet received my fingerprints, so put me back at the end of the line again?

Going on a road trip next week, was really hoping to have my LTC by then. Oh well. Gr.

:anamatedbanana :clapping:

Interesting notes:

-I received a letter dated 8/11 saying my fingerprints had not yet been received. They were then received later that day. My thinking is that once this happens, your packet then goes to the "back of the line" so to speak, and may be why it took mine around 7 weeks while others had them done within 2-3.

-My girlfriend also had everything completed on the exact same dates as me. She has had ONE address and ONE job to note in the last 5 years, while I've had many (5+) of both. Our applications/process were both completed at the exact same time. So addresses/jobs may not matter as much as some think.

In my opinion based on only mine/my girlfriend's experience, it may be worth having everything (including fingerprints) done right away when you submit your application, so that when it gets to somebody they can process it immediately. If all docs are not already received by the time a tech receives your packet (3-4 daysish after submission?), you may go back into a line. Maybe not, just my .02.

Re: "Waiting Room"

hoping so! My girlfriend did all the steps the exact same time as me, and hers is also in the same spot. She's had the same address and only 2 jobs in the last 5 years though. Me, not so much - bounced around everywhere. Will be interesting to see if ours get completed at different times.
