Welcome to Texas

Welcome to Texas and to the forum. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum.

Use this time waiting to carry around the house. This will get you comfortable with carrying, let you find out what works and what doesn't, and helps to eliminate those trips of constantly adjusting your weapon or pulling your shirt down.

Thanks guys. I'm still waiting to schedule my fingerprints. The MorphoTrust site still doesn't recognize my DL or trace number.

Welcome to Texas! Great to see someone from California moving to Texas who LIKES firearms.

It's one of the many reasons I left. It's a pretty state and my family is still there, but I'm ok going there on a visiting basis. They can keep their high taxes, dumb laws, and crazy gun laws.

How long does it take before you're able to schedule fingerprinting?

I submitted my application online at 1900 hours yesterday and the fingerprinting site still says the following when trying to login.

MorphoTrust USA has not yet received confirmation of your Texas Concealed Handgun License (CHL) application. If you submitted your application online today with the Texas Department of Public Safety, please wait 24 hours before attempting to schedule a fingerprint appointment with MorphoTrust. If you submitted your application via traditional paper documents the Texas Department of Public Safety will notify you in writing when your application has been received and will confirm that you are eligible to schedule a fingerprint appointment.

I'm impatient. Just tried again and it worked.

Fingerprinting scheduled for 8/24 at 1PM. It was the soonest available around here.

Hello All,

1st post here but have been lurking and reading for a bit.

My timeline is as follows;

07/20 - submitted online app

07/22 - fingerprints done

08/01 - took class

08/03 - emailed docs, received confirmation

08/03 to 08/20 - wore out the online status page

08/20 - called in and the nice lady who answered stated "it is done, we just need to print your card and send it out"

08/21 - online status page still not updated, but I sure am stalking the mailman.

Fingerprints were done today. Just emailed the fingerprinting receipt into the DPS.

Welcome! I too escaped from CA. I lived good there and still thought it was a shithole anywhere near population. Process went quick for me. Here is my time line:

I'm right behind you. Taking the chl class on Saturday. Finally free of California.

No status update and nothing in the mail. This wait is worse than waiting for Santa as a kid.

I finally seen the website and it now gives me the option to change address and such.. I wonder how long before I actually get plastic in hand
