Congrats ktfiend!!
As for supporting your habit, didn't you mention you were an accountant? I'm sure forum members will be glad to let you prepare their taxes, as long as you will work for ammo!!
Good luck, and keep us updated, on your carry experiences.

Re: 2017 Wait time
This is not a timeline for a new application or renewal, but an address change.
Address change submitted Monday, plastic in hand on Saturday.

Re: 2017 Wait time
OK, so I took the class for LTC on November 5th and submitted full app with fingerprints done on 11/9 but the DPS did not receive my application until 12/1/2016.
At the end of January (60 days) my online application status still had finger prints and background check "under review". I was able to get through to DPS and was informed that there was a huge amount of apps submitted and that the actually had up to 180 days to complete. She actually said and I quote "60 days is a guideline".
For obvious reasons I did not argue with the lady who was helping me but daaaaang!
This morning ( 2/27/2017) my background and fingerprint went "green" on the status checklist at DPS website, the only thing left is "print".
today marks ~88 days from the time they received the app, ~120 since I submitted.
We shall see.

Re: 2017 Wait time
I looked this up, and they are wrong. They probably tell you this in the chance that you will just give them more time, BUT according to Title 4, Subtitle B, Chapter 411, Section 411.177, Sub section B--The Department has no more than 60 days to issue you the license or send you a letter of denial. I believe that the department needs to be held to this standard.LTC Webb wrote:OK, so I took the class for LTC on November 5th and submitted full app with fingerprints done on 11/9 but the DPS did not receive my application until 12/1/2016.

I didn't complain because I was afraid she would put my app in the "get to later" pile but I agree.
Who should I complain to?

I am not sure. Maybe your State Rep/Senator? It is a shame that the people that are trying to follow the law are put on hold for so long with out being able to get updated on the status of their request. I submitted mine and received the confirmation email on 1/16. I am still waiting and they will not give me any updates as to the status.

Although I was not asked to send in any documents re: arrests, I've seen a lot of posts here where the DPS has come back 60 days later and requested the docs, then restarted the counter. With that in mind, I submitted all of the court docs on 2/7 for a 2007 arrest for a non-disqualifying misdemeanor from when I lived in Georgia. Hopefully that will expedite the process.
I'm thinking my background check is being held up by the fact that I lived in multiple cities in Georgia from 1988 to 2010, and I have moved back and forth between Atlanta and Austin a couple of times since 2010. Plus the aforementioned misdemeanor from college.
EDIT: I just thought I would add that I'm an attorney barred in Georgia and Florida. I took the Texas bar exam last week. The requirements for the background check required by DPS for a LTC are pretty similar to the requirements for the basic background check required by the Texas BLE for admission to the bar. It seemed pretty coincidental that my background check for my LTC was finally completed and approved a day after I finished sitting for the Texas bar exam. I'm probably looking too much into this and it truly is a coincidence, but interesting timing nonetheless.

My wife got in touch with someone yesterday, but all they told her was that they have 180 days to process once additional supporting documents are received. She said she told them to make a note that she would be calling twice a week until it comes in.
