FINALLY !! -- The Postman delivered ...

Got the mail, found my card, went to Wally World. Today was a good day.



Didn't buy any ammo, all they had for pistols was FMJ.
Total waiting time was 111 days . . . I'm in Travis County.

I mean...*clearing throat*. It's about time.

Yeah, what he said!

My status also changed as of this morning to:
Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

It sure looks like things are happening -- I'm in Travis County.

Given all the recent updates from folks saying their license had "gone to print" I figured I'd check mine. As of today it's been 98 days since I dropped the app off at DPS in Austin. After several minutes on hold I talked with a lady who said my application had been "selected for printing". So, I guess I'm in the boat with a bunch of others now, just waiting on printing and delivery.

Shouldn't take more than another month or so, eh?

That's particularly good news. I'm also in the Austin area (Travis County) and I hand-carried my app to DPS the same week, on the 21st.

Congrats, and thanks for the update! (Not that I've been checking my status twice a day or anything ... )

Based on recent history, it looks like the typical wait is almost 100 days. I guess that means I should look for my plastic around the end of August.

Even though my buddy and I went to the state agency to have our fingerprints done, his got rejected the first week of July. So far my status is still showing as "processing application." I'm in Travis County.
