February Applications

[ysaias]

Well guys "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active" It only took 133 days to see this messege. I guess they were telling me the truth yesterday. I really hope everyone who is in Harris County wont have to wait this long but in case you do try taking your mind off of it for a week or so, it helped me a little.....ok it really didnt but I tried to not think about it. I will post up when I have the plastic in hand. GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU GUYS STILL WAITING.

congratulations ysaias,
its about time ...good advice on trying to forget about it for a while . it really does help.
if a person could forget about it for about 3 months , waiting would be a breeze

Congrats!!!

I am happy for you but it is a bit depressing at the same time. You were one of the people I was watching because we are on the same timeline. I didn't feel so bad because we were both in the same boat. Last I heard, still waiting on the background check so it looks like it will still be a bit for me. For those following... once again... I have had no problems with the paperwork - it has just been in processing status since March 9th (paperwork received Feb 12th).

I am sure there are still plenty of people who have been waiting longer than I have. I will just have to find someone else to share in my misery.

Thanks for all the congrats! One more thing, I checked my status last night about 11:30pm and it said I was sill processing. I checked this morning when I got to work at 6:45 and it said Application complete, I thought that was weird because I dont think their office is open that early in the morning. I didnt know if that info helps anyone but I thought I would share it.

Brin: Good luck, I was watching you to, so hearing that you are still waiting proves they dont have any kind of sytem set up to get those first out. I hope you get yours this week.

i was wondering about that...maybe the system updates at midnight or something. if thats the case ,it would only be necessary to check the status once per day.

Finally, some progress! I called today and my background check was returned yesterday.

Update: I called yesterday and was transferred again to the technician in charge and left a voice mail. I have had my background check back since June 6th, and were supposed to issue it they said within two weeks as of last Monday.

I would check your staus tonight after 12, I think thats when they update the system. I was expecting to be really happy when they told me that but it wasnt what I thought. It was more like " ok, whatever, I"ll belive it when I see my licence in my hand. I think I might get it today or tomorrow. Looks like February applicants are slowly coming in now....FINNALY!

The guy on the phone told me it just came in yesterday and they will have to send it off to the printer which would take a couple of weeks. He seemed nice enough and he didn't try to rush me off the phone like so many of them do so I am caustiously accepting that I am close to the end. I certainly don't want to wait another 2 or 3 weeks but since I was feeling like it would never end as of this morning, I will take what I can get at this point.

It is funny, I thought I would be happy when I heard that the background check came back. While I am sort of, I couldn't help but think -- 'finally'. Hearing 2 or 3 more weeks after waiting more than 19 takes a lot of excitement out of it. I just want to see that 'Application Completed...' status come up and I want that stinkin' piece of plastic already.

watch out for those "smooth talkers ", maybe he was using a teleprompter .

It sounds like the same guy that told me my BG check was back. The next day my status changed. He also told me that it would be a couple of weeks before I get it in the mail. That was Monday, my status changed Tuesday so I am hoping when I get home from work today it will be in the mail. I will post up again when I get home....crossing my fingers. I think I went from not caring anymore to being bit by the impatient bug again.

Well guys it looks like I'm done. Plastic came in today and the total time was 136 days. Good luck to all and I'm out of here until 2013 when its time to re-new it. Thanks for all the congrats and I cant say it was fun but it was nice chating with you guys. This was a good place to vent our frustrations with this whole waiting game.

hi mstex12,
seems like you've been waiting a long time . have you called DPS to ask what the delay is ?
i can tell you that applications from the beginning of the year seem to have the longest wait times, possibly due to the recent elections . dont blame me though , i voted for the other guy.

My wife and I are sitting at 122 days. Our applications were received on 2/26. Still says "Processing Application" on the website.
