How long was your wait?

[mkruck]

I mailed off my Arizona CCP application, fingerprints and cashiers check 4 days prior to submitting my Texas LTC app and supporting documentation online (1/25/16), and honestly thought my Texas LTC would come in sooner than AZ. Time will tell.

Did mine last January and if we are only counting business days:
11 business days from prints to status change.
2 business days later, plastic mailed.
2 business days later, plastic in hand.

84 days total about a year ago. And I would still be waiting if I had not called them.
The clerk found it sidelined in the system and kicked it on through 3 days later in my mailbox.

In the meantime I may consider applying for a license in a different state who has an agreement with Texas. I was in a forum yesterday and people were talking about how it's $25-75 for an LTC in a bunch of other states, no mandatory class, and it took less than 2-3 weeks to get approved.

I have heard about this, but I don't know what hurdles are involved. Yeah, I think this could be an alternative.

Don't shoot the messenger, I was only posting my wait time.
I, too, think anything beyond 30 days is excessive.
I can only assume that my application was approved and printed in 50 days because of previous security clearances.
It's the state bureaucracy, there is no formula that I can see.
Good luck everyone.

I don't know that security clearances have anything to do with it. I held a secret clearance for more that a decade and a TS-SSBI for almost a decade until 2006. I could be wrong, but you probably just got lucky. 72 days and counting.

I 100% agree with TexasVet. If you submitted the exact same way as everybody else, that means your "process" is no different, you just got lucky, IMO.

[navychop]

90 days so far. Mailed Mar 7th but lost or misdelivered, so have to wait 30 BUSINESS days, then call again to cancel, reprint and resend again. Overall a minimum of 100 days. Cant send from Austin to Austin without losing it.
