I had to wait until the mail came, but since I didn't get plastic today (60th day), I sent off a polite email to Henry Gonzales (my state rep) a few minutes ago.

I know - but it's only been 60 days. The way I have it figured is that I followed all of their rules, so they should be made to follow their rules, too. Honestly, I'm not concerned with their personnel issues. I'm almost $200 into this thing, and I want something tangible as a result, and within their own self-imposed time frame.

The problem is, looking at your time-line there was a issue with the photos being rejected. That will add time on your application. Not sure they entirely restart the clock (others may know better), but it does cause a delay in processing.

I could almost understand that if it didn't take them almost three weeks to start processing it. Besides the applicable Texas GC section doesn't say anything about delays due to arbitrary rejection of photos - it says 60 days - period. Besides that, the photos are only for scanning to put on the plastic itself, and should have no bearing at all on the progress of the background check.

I'm not saying that bad photos wouldn't have an impact - I'm saying they *shouldn't*. Beyond that, I was on that issue like white on rice and mailed back new photos the day after I received the rejection letter.

Day 50....it is still processing. At first I checked the website maybe once a day. Then it went to 3 times a day. Now, who knows, I lose track how many times a day I check the site. The good news is that on the average they are processing faster these days, the sad news....I'm still waiting.
