Well guys, it’s been 103 days from application receipt to plastic.

After many calls and emails to State Congressman/Representative (who were VERY responsive if not helpful {I’ll never know about helpful}) as well as multiple phone calls to DPS and an address change from Harris to Trinity counties during processing, I get to burn out of here.

On 3/16/09, I told CHLB staff that ‘I want the license or a letter of denial’ so that I could move the process off of Harris BG check where it had been since @ 1/21/09. She responded, “We’re not going to deny the license”. I didn’t understand how she could make that comment when the BG check wasn’t complete.

For those of you impatient types, I suggest you not take out your frustration on the CHLB people you speak with. They don’t set budgets and aren’t responsible for staffing. I appreciated the comment from the lady I’d been regularly dealing with who said I had been respectful and pleasant to deal with. No reason to aggravate the situation with people that don’t manage it.

I've got to make some final adjustments to my MTAC IWB and drive 60 miles to take my Glock for a walk. I’ll see you on other forums.

Here’s to never needing a weapon for SD and being fully prepared and justified by 12 if we do.

PS: Website shows license active as of today.

Is someone messing with me or could it be a good sign that the end is near? . .

Ever played poker?

Your psych evals have been pulled for the last XX years. Please step to the BACK of the line and re-phrase your question.

Seriously, Good Luck

NICE!
Can't wait to get an answer myself, I been seein' things lately.

I just spoke to CHLB, not to rush my application but because my address has changed.
When I asked what she could tell me other than "processing" she said it's waiting on BC at Harris County. She could offer no timeframe for BC completion.
She said everything else "appears" to be approved.
We'll see.

I've never seen anything but "processing application" when doing status check. When do you see app. complete or some of the other status' as posted here?
Also, I read somewhere on forum that you can "logout" out of DPS status check page but I can't find the button. This action along with fresh login supposedly truly updates current status.

cleared browser files and checked status = processing application
reinstalled software and checked status = processing application
borrowed friends computer and checked status = processing application
formatted HD, installed software and checked status = processing application
bought new computer, installed software and checked status = processing application
borrowed enemies computer and checked status = processing application

What gives?

HOA's are small, agile bodies. Governments, ... well ... , aren't.

I was fortunate. Ike only changed my landscaping.
Hope yours wasn't to bad.
Having served 7 years on a civic board, IMO, if the HOA is unreasonably pushing you and neighbors around, you and neighbors need to reasonably and collectively push back. Waiting on insurance / FEMA checks takes time these days.

went to library, got a card and computer password and checked status = processing application
