Re: DPS Processing Times

TimmyD wrote:Some thoughts I was having last night about this quest to receive a Texas CHL.

Historical Events that have happened since I applied for my Texas Concealed Handgun License

1. Hurricane Ike hit Galveston and Houston, and much of the area has since recovered
2. Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day, and MLK day have come and gone.
3. Baseball season ended, the World Series played.
4. College Football season completed and Bowl Championship game held.
5. Pro Football regular season ended, NFC and AFC championship games complete.
6. Paid my annual property taxes.
7. Celebrated a birthday, my wife’s, birthday and our anniversary.
8. The stock market and worldwide financial markets have crashed
9. Gasoline has gone from $4.00 a gallon to $1.50 a gallon
10. The Iraq surge has been successful, and troops have begun drawing down.
11. The Texas Legislature began its 2009 session
12. A new president has been elected and has taken office

Despite all this “progress,” I still see this message on the DPS CHL website

“Processing Application”
When you got your hurricane Ike letter from the DPS, what part of "unknown period of time" did you not understand? Some how, when I read that "the Department remains hopeful that these delays will be minimal," it didn't give me a whole lot of hope I'd be hearing back from them any time soon.

You can contact representative Ed Driver's office and your own representatives, but what we need now is a lawsuit. Even the law itself recognizes that 180 amounts to a denial, and we have quite a few people on this site alone that are beyond that.

My indefinite wait is over!

NEW OR RENEWAL: New

TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS IN PROCESSING: 111
DID YOU RECEIVE A LETTER FROM DPS REGARDING A DELAY: Yes
DID YOU CAUSE ANY DELAY IN PROCESSING. IF YES, EXPLAIN: No

IF DPS GAVE YOU A VERBAL EXPLANATION (EXCUSE) FOR ANY DELAY, PLEASE EXPLAIN: IKE

Intervention from Mike Jackson and Joe Driver's office may have helped.
