November '08 Applications

[fisher_of_man]

ok....so .... after further review....you can put the hit counter in the "bad idea stack"....

wouldn't that be a hoot and a half...

"Hey Sarge, c'mere look, this is the same guy that just checked 12 minutes ago" "what IS his big hurry???"

"I don't know, just to be safe, put his file under the seat cushions for a while"

you're absolutely right...they probably have like a "CHL Most Anxious Board"...you know...kinda like the FBI 10 most wanted....they probably find all kinds of ways to prolong the top 10 just so for their own humor

i hope they DON'T have a hit counter.....

they might get a little concerend if you look TOO anxious LOL

(besides, i know when people start pressing me for immediate results here at my job, i start to "misplace" paperwork)

(jk)

well congrats TexasRedRock...although....I must say....I'm a bit jealous ....I just dinged mine again in hope that I'd have those magical words flash across my screen...but ...no luck today... maybe tomorrow. If Morgan is any indication...you could be carrying by this weekend! let us know when you get it in the mail!

ok austin....please.... ....I've been good....let me do the application complete

[Morgan]

I bet you complete pretty soon, FOM. You've barely been processing for 1 month, and you had 2 sorta major holidays in that mix.... I predict you go to "complete" before the 20th.

So speaks the Swami. ;)

After sending off my proof of 'Merican-ship, and the DPS receiving it on 12/22/08, my status finally changed back to "Processing Application" on 1/6/09. I would be surprised it took that long, but perhaps that means that they have confirmed my 'Merican-ship.

Time to advance the day-counter.

[Morgan]

Better to be a 'Merican than a merkin.

I know...I know....but man is it hard waiting!!! all you guys getting yours have made me a little antsie!...ahhh well...I just added another "ding" for the counter

[gomowdude]

MAN!!! Now that Nov applicants are finally getting their plastic I cant help myself from checking the DPS website at least 3-4 times a day....I am pulling for it getting here before the 20th. You guys are right, the home stretch wait is even worse!!!

[Broncrider]

I know what you mean gomowdude. it looks like they got our paperwork about the same time. The waiting is killing me!!!

[KingOfDirk]

gomowdude, Broncrider, what counties are you in? I'm just a few days ahead of you on the "received in Austin" date, but I get to deal with a Harris County address...

Good luck, y'all - hang in there!

[Morgan]

I honestly don't know how the folks who went 90, 100, 125, 150 and more days handled it. I wasn't quite impatient yet at 30 days I I got sat-is-faction quickly after....

Broncrider waiting from Parker county.

me neither... I can't imagine the pure agony some of the guys that submitted their apps in the middle of the summer and are just now getting their plastic now must have gone thru!

another couple of "dings" on the ol counter for me today with no new news....still processing.

you ever check it so much that you wonder if your just seeing one thing (because that's all you've ever seen it say) when it may actually say something different? hmmmm...maybe need to get someone else to check it for me have a good one guys...and hold out hope for tomorrow!
FOM

[gomowdude]

gomowdude, Broncrider, what counties are you in? I'm just a few days ahead of you on the "received in Austin" date, but I get to deal with a Harris County address...

Good luck, y'all - hang in there!

I am a neighbor of Broncrider, gomowdude here reporting from Tarrant county. Hey KingOfDirk, any responses from your emails to your Rep, Sen and the Gov? Maybe I can start composing my emails to kill some wait time in case I need to send them on day 61! I read all over this forum that Harris is S L O....W too bad you had to submit under a Harris address. Good luck to you though! Logged about 8 checks on the DPS website today... bet they're getting tired of me! oh well.... the wait continues.

[gomowdude]

fisher of man - I totally check the DPS website so much that I think it will ever only say one thing. In fact, I have this habit of closing the web page so fast out of frustration that I bet the day it changes, I will just zip through my routine so fast that I wont even notice the change! Probably have to check it a few times just to be sure it really says something different!! I wish the DPS would upgrade the website to UPS tracking info, maybe telling you whose desk its on, what paperwork they are checking on, etc. I guess thats asking too much.
