WOW. Nothing. No change in status on site, no paper in the mail, nothing. I am going to call when I get a chance later this week.. but what kills me..a guy at work who is considered legally blind, has to sit in front 3 inches in front of his monitor to see the dang screen, can't drive because he can't really see, took the course, qualified on the test and was issued his already, in fact he got his in under 20 days. I didn't believe him at first, so he showed me the License to Carry with the date.. what the heck

Welcome to the forum! I understand your frustration, it sucks having to wait for plastic. Others who have had a much longer wait are still waiting and some have gotten very lucky in getting theirs in less than the 60 day time allotted. DPS is swamped with applications that they are still working on. They are heavily understaffed and us calling to complain to them is only going to take away from them working on apps.

Be patient and stay strong. Use this time to carry at home, find SD rounds that work for your gun and visit your local gun range and practice.

Keep us posted on if you hear anything about your app if you do decide to call.

Thanks!

I am okay with waiting, just kills me that a guy who can't see 2 feet in front of him, passed (weeks after I did) and got his with no issues before I did.

I wish there was: 1. Some sort of way to make our status instantly available to see, 2. A method to their madness. 20 days is crazy and the fact that like you said he's legally blind doesn't make us feel any better.

I haven't hit my 60 days yet, but I have realized it's ok to wait. Gives me time to get even more comfortable with my gun and carrying it.

Update.. nothing yet and its almost 80 days. A buddy of mine who took the course with me and we both sent everything into the site the same week, actually got through to the folks on the phone and they said they are so backed up, that anything submitted in 2016, will be now MIN of 90 days and max of 120 days.

Looked on the site today and I saw I got the change information screen.. which I guess means its been approved and on its way?? not sure.

You may see your license tomorrow...if not by Monday. At least, that's been my experience.

Well a few more days is worth the wait. I mean after waiting all this time and then hearing my buddy got the information of 90 to 120 days.. I basically stopped worrying and said.. "it is what it is"

Decided on a whim to check today.. boom status change.. yay!

I am at 72 days and still nothing. My wife got hers on April 14th. We applied at the same time (All in Feb 23rd).

I was right ahead of you, Feb 18th and it took 74 days to get mine. Should be soon.

I am at 81 days, last I heard it was in background on April 22. There have been some go as long as 100+ days and then some in less than 30 days. No rhyme or reason.
