*****Update!

Sept 18th - I submitted all my disposition paperwork for my small criminal history of (4) offenses ***(BTW, none of the paperwork for my dispositions was official/notarized. I pulled all of it off the county district clerk's websites. One disposition was simply a print out from Cameron county district clerk's computer system with highlighter and writing showing that my case had been dismissed and there is no record.
Sept 19th - I received an email stating that one of my disposition documents was SECURED and could not be opened so I needed to submit another copy that wasn't password protected. Since that copy was pulled off the Harris county district clerk's website and I didn't have a password to unlock it, I simply downloaded a PDF app on my phone, snapped a picture of the PDF on my computer screen, converted that picture to a PDF, and emailed it to myself so that I could submit it online again.
Sept 19th - I submitted the new PDF copy of my disposition from Harris county
Sept 21st - Online status has updated to all greens except for the "Print Pending". Backgrounds and fingerprints are all green; Print Pending is yellow.
So I guess the timeline from start to the point of "Print Pending" for me would be "13 days". And that is a brand new application after September 1, 2017, NOT a renewal. Just mentioning that because everyone has expected a huge wait time due to new applications and back logs because of the reduced price in applications, etc.

SUPER EXCITED! So ready to get my plastic in hand. I'll update once the status changes to "Mailed"...

Update!!!!
9-26-17... As of this morning... Online status is ALL GREEN and showing "MAILED". Should have it in hand by end of the week. I'm in Houston area...
***18 days to get to the "Mailed" staus for my journey***

UPDATE!!!
9-27-17... Plastic in hand!!! 19 Days Total

Did something change or do people around this forum just mail those in to speed up the process? I'd send them in the mail if I knew exactly where to send the envelope. I just recently filled out the app so I still have time to fix this if I need to. Advice appreciated :)

Hey brother! I had the same problem as far as not seeing anywhere to submit the copies of dispositions. However, after going through the complete process online, I noticed a place on the DPS website where you submit your LTC-100 AND "Supporting Documents". After a small scare that I gave myself (explained below), I gathered all my dispositions (Nothing official or notarized BTW), and submitted them on the same website as I submitted the LTC-100 document.

At first I wasn't even going to submit any of the disposition paperwork because I wasn't worried about having to wait. However, after reading several of these online posts on the forum and seeing at least one person get denied until 2018 or 2019 (dont remember exactly) due to a similar situation as mine. Situation being... One of my offenses was dismissed and now there is no record of the dispositon. I quickly gathered all my dispositions and letter of no record from years ago i requested, submitted them on the DPS website a week later, and by the end of that second week my application review was complete. I'm guessing that submitting the dispositions will greatly speed up the process. Unfortunately, I can't tell you for sure whether or not you HAVE to submit them as I ended up not riding out that path...

Hope this helps you out a little. Check out my update in the post before this one. It's got some good information about the disposition paperwork and process...
