Re: Plastic in Hand - 9 months elapsed time

:chldancing WOW. Glad you finnaly received the CHL; but, I can't believe you let it go on so long!! :blowup I wish more people would avail themselves of the remedies in the law. You should have demanded a hearing and gotten this in a fraction of the time. Not to :deadhorse: but my demand letter lead...

Re: Carry while at home

Those folk in that church in Illinois probably felt the same way...last month. Apples and oranges. Pubilc place vs private residence. Too bad that when they kicked down his door, he didn't have his gun." My point above was that the door should not have been able to be kicked down in the first ...

Re: Talked to the office of the Chairman of the Licensing and

Okay, the usual disclaimers apply: I know nothing except my name, rank, and serial #, and there have been time when I haven't exactly been too sure about all of those ... I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, although I could easily have missed it -- but in reading through HB2730 (which becomes ...

Re: Talked to the office of the Chairman of the Licensing and

As posted in another thread. Forcing the issue by demanding a hearing has resulted in my license being issued. I only wish I had started sooner. :mrgreen:

Re: Forcing the issue?

There is always the possibility of a "bad" judge. But I believe I have an outstanding JP. The issues are legal and the burden is on the state to prove I should not be issued. Not the otherway around. :smash: Nor would a decision for the DPS have any negative effects, as they are already de...

Re: Forcing the issue?

I hate to beat a dead horse again.. but you will never get a denial hearing, unless you are officially denied by dps. so far, no one has had a hearing and no one ever will. Now, it will make them hurry up and expidite the license. It will help speed up things and put more attention on it, but again...

Re: Forcing the issue?

So far that has not happened in my case. On line system still shows processing and I have not had any additional telephone calls. They received my request for a hearing on the 11th so I have a few more days before the scheduling of the hearing is also beyond the statute. I don't mind being the test ...

Re: Forcing the issue?

For those of you following the saga, I received a nice email from TDPS customer service assuring me they had not denied my application and that they were still in the background check. I politely responded that by statute I had been denied and that I looked forward to my hearing. As I have contempla...

Re: Talked to the office of the Chairman of the Licensing and

Since you've been denied by law, I'm pretty sure a Judge would agree that the letter is not necessary. Im sure DPS will argue it, but, once again, black and white in the statutes. IMO And if they start quoting statutes stating that they have to send a letter, you can quote them right back with rega...

Re: Harris Co Background checks

I had a good talk with the person at DPS who is processing my application. She is telling me that the clock starts when they enter the application into the system - which for me was mid-May. She also thinks that they are on track to deliver the license in mid-July, which.... I'll believe it when I ...

Re: Harris County - good news

I received a call from a staffer in Sen. Gallegos' office. She was following up on my complaint to her on Monday about slow CHL app processing. She told me that yesterday, during her conversation with a DPS contact, that DPS has hired an additional 35 people to work on processing CHL applications. ...

Re: Forcing the issue?

Crimson,
please let me know when you receive some response. They must respond within a "reasonable" time and the hearing should ocurr within 30-60 days. I would say 10 days is reasonable given the other constraints.

Re: Forcing the issue?

I have had enough mismanagement by DPS. My legilators have been ineffective at getting DPS to get it's act together. If they refuse to administer this program appropriately, I am going to do my best to make them look bad and force them to put some effort into my case. Sent electronically and by cer...

Re: Talked to the office of the Chairman of the Licensing and

one quick thing.. you can't have a denial hearing, unless you've already been officially denied. that means they send you a denial letter. they don't have "hearings" for people who are just unhappy with processing times or background checks taking long. You won't get a denial hearing with...
