Status finally changed today from Processing License to Application Completed - license issued or certificate active. Only been 162 days. Did I say only? I live in the dreaded Harris County. If I get stopped by Leo prior to receiving license I intend to tell him that I have been approved as shown on line but I am not carrying. It seems I read somewhere on this forum that someone got called down by Leo because it showed up on the license check that it was active even though he had not received the license I will post when I finally have it in hand.

Received a call today from Senator Patricks office. Only took 4 weeks for a reply. Lady said they got behind during the hurricane and since then the number of requests for CHL's has increased so they are way behind. She said that I could expect a much longer wait insinuating that I would get it when I get it. She was evidently programed to just say this because when I asked about the back log in Harris CO and the fact that there were others who took the class after me who had received their license she couldn't answer. Asked why something wasn't being done about them violating the law she couldnt answer. When I asked to talk to Senator Partick she said he was too busy. Can't wait till the next time an election rolls around. As of today its ben 143 days. Good luck to the rest of you out there. I hope if you live in the Great Senator's District you worry him sick but don't expect any help.

At least I have had plenty of time to practice quick draw around the house. The late great Doc Holiday won't have anything on me. "Im your huckleberry"

I just registered on forum today. But I have been reading info from forum for about a month. I have really enjoyed reading what everyone has to say. Great Forum.Thought it was time to put myself on waiting list.

Add me to February still waiting after 136 days. Still shows processing application. Contacted Dan Patrick my State Senator by email on June 26 and asked for help getting Harris County applications processed sooner. Been two weeks and haven't heard from him except that email was received.
