Current status as of 12/10:
Citizenship: no documentation received, notice sent
Passport photo holder (out of state): under review
Background check: under review
LTC: print pending

I was born in Mexico but became a citizen over 10 years ago. Didn't even think to send in those documents with everything else when first applying so I sent in both my naturalization certificate and passport on Sunday 12/11. I haven't received the email saying those documents were received yet but when I sent in my LTC class forms I got that email almost immediately.

Also, I only scanned the front of the certificate and ID/photo pages of my passport. Is it really necessary to scan the backs of those as well?
I was reading through the Government Code for your answer(s).

Sec. 411.172. ELIGIBILITY. (a) A person is eligible for a license to carry a handgun if the person:
(1) is a legal resident of this state for the six-month period preceding the date of application under this subchapter or is otherwise eligible for a license under Section 411.173(a)

Sec. 411.174. APPLICATION. (a) An applicant for a license to carry a handgun must submit to the director's designee described by Section 411.176:
(4) proof of residency in this state;

(b) An applicant must provide on the application a statement of the applicant's:
(3) residence and business addresses for the preceding five years;

Based on that, I would say you have met the requirements. As far as taking a copy of the back of the passport. If it's the book type passport then I do not see why it would be necessary to send in a copy of the back of the photo page. If it's the card type, then I would have just to be on the safe side, but still I do not see that it would have been necessary.

Thanks for your reply. It's a book type passport so I figured it would be a moot point to copy the outside of it. Here's hoping my status gets updated soon and I don't go back to the bottom of the pile

In the checklist it states "You should receive an email from unenroll.identogo.com with a personalized link to schedule your fingerprints"

How long does it take to get this email? I assume the DPS needs to share the data with identogo

I have never received an email as I've always scheduled my fingerprints on my own using the service code: "119Q91".

If I were you, I wouldn't wait for them to send anything and get it done yourself so not to delay the process any longer than it has to be.

When I try to schedule myself I get the below error. I submitted my DPS application about 30 minutes ago

"Unable to determine eligibility.

I would say give it a little more time before trying to schedule.

Make sure you are using the exact information you used on the application to schedule the appointment. If you still cannot get it done then I would suggest calling RDS and asking them what the issue is. You could always call the 800 number in the checklist email and attempt to schedule that way.

Wish you the best in your wait. It's been torture on me, but I'm just very impatient. I'm the one usually boiling when I'm watching the pot and it's taking too long!! :mad5 :lol:

It took 5 days for me and my friend to go from print pending to mailed. I'm curious to see how long it takes for yours.
Thank you! Not fast enough... like a kid waiting for Christmas! I'll keep you updated!
Quick update!
On Tuesday 12/13 my account cleared the background check and went into "Print Pending"
Now today 12/15 status changed to "Mailed"

Now I will have to control myself and try not to check the mailbox more than 5 times a day!

How long did it take for you to receive it from the "mailed" day?

The general consensus seems to be between 2 and 3 days for most. I am just waiting on the mail to be delivered today as this is day 2 for me! I'll update you on whether or not I received it.

I'm in the same boat, just changed to print pending yesterday 12/14, coincidentally the same day I passed my state peace officer licensing exam! Just waiting for mailed to post, so I can start harassing the mailman! :anamatedbanana
