Thank you for the welcomes. Hopefully my wait won't be too much longer, I'm going to call DPS tomorrow and see what's up.

Here's "the rest of the story"

My wife's plastic is actually in MY hands, not hers, because she went to Colorado on Wednesday to visit her parents. Because she can legally carry in her vehicle in Texas and Colorado, she took her Bersa .380 with her. When she arrived, she gave it to her dad to put in his gunsafe.

She left early this morning on her way back here, and (who doesn't see this one coming?) she left her gun in her dad's safe. He's going to mail it to her, but at least I have a small hope that I might receive my plastic before she gets her gun back!

I've been lurking for a while, but had to register so I could post this and let you all know:

My wife, who mailed her completed application 6/12, and DPS cashed her check on 6/26. She has plastic in hand as of yesterday 8/22.

Of course, I, who mailed the completed application 6/3, had my check cashed 6/12, am still "processing application"

I can't believe that hers came back quicker than mine, when mine was sent almost 2 weeks before hers. Our past addresses were exactly the same, in fact, she copied my paper because she didn't remember some of the places we'd lived nearly 5 years ago! Ahh, well, at least one of us can legally protect our family when out and about.

FYI, we both lived in Collin County, Denton County, Dallas County, and Los Angeles County during the last 5 years.
