IMHO: The outcome of more individuals pushing this strategy will simply be DPS starting to issue the required "your application has been delayed" letter at the 60 day mark.

I had several conversations with my state representatives during the processing, and they contacted DPS on my behalf. I started this at about the 95 day mark, and had plastic at 115 days. This included the dreaded Harris County background check. During that period, I called DPS directly maybe three times, and they said that they had a "legislative action sheet" or some such thing on me. It did make a difference. CowboyRob, if you had contacted your reps, it's hard to say which option worked. Probably a combination of both. BUT, if enough people start demanding hearings, it's a simple matter for DPS to stay within the law by simply issuing that delay notice. If Charles is working something about the implicit denial provisions, that would potentially put a stop to it.

I hope that no one from DPS is reading this post......
