Its harris county.
DPS called my GF yesterday. Told her that they are waiting on Harris County for the BGC.

So the next letter going to our Senator and Rep will be complaining about Harris County.
Also folks keep in mind the FBI are jammed up from nationwide increase in requests.

Does the obamanation have his foot on the brakes over at the fed?

The FBI checks have actually not slowed things down at all. They have been returning checks back in a very timely manner and it is my understanding that actually they have managed to increase the turnaround. I am not a fan of the administration either but I want to make sure the focus is where it should be and that is DPS. It is DPS at the county level that does the local BG check and they should properly staff. The amount of time it is taking Harris county residents to get their CHL's is not just crazy but also illegal and a some point we should be given a real answer about why and not just a an excuse about Ike and too many apps.

That is just my 2 cents...

they received mine on the 21 of jan and my status changed yesterday to complete that was a total of 44 buisness days.i did not count the weekends as they dont work on them.i say you should be getting some good news in a couple of days be patient my friend good things come to those who wait

Weekends are actually part of the 60days based on the way the law was written. When you get a citation you so not get to use weekends in your favor and the DPS should also not be able to do it.

On another note Congrats on getting your plastic.
