Mine was sent to print on Wednesday the 8th and was Application Complete/Mailed sometime between Wednesday evening(the 15th) and Friday about noon when I checked again, so it was out to the printer eight or nine days. That was a little better than two to three weeks to print as I have read.texas1234 wrote:Chip if your background checks are complete you should have the card in hand in two weeks. Your application has already been looked through at this point and most of the time they are only waiting on background checks. The only thing that can delay that two weeks now is a screwup from the printer. From my experience and what i have seen the only thing that holds up DPS is background checks and they are normally right on once they get them back.
164 days so far, just waiting on the mail now. I see a lot of people on here very impatient at less than 90 days, if they have another two or three months to wait they are going to drive themselfs crazy. I didn't start checking status till well after a hundred days.

) BG check. Everything else is good to go. He first said that it should all be completed in 2 to 3 weeks and that additional staff in Harris county had been brought on board to help alleviate the slow response. As we continued the conversation he said he could not promise, but all should be done in 3 to 4 weeks (note it has now grown by an additional week). I pushed the issue that my employer was located in Harris not me, I live in Orange county, he said that by statute they had to do a back ground check there. This opened the door for a question about 90 day denial (by statute), he responded with that was only for applicants with criminal backgounds, not waiting on a background check! 
or does it go into another pile
