PLASTIC IN HAND.
Well, here's to hoping we are next and getting them tomorrow. It is sad, getting excited about seeing the complete part and then it seems like you are having to wait all over again just to get it in the mail. LOL.

I just got a call from Larry Taylor (my representative) and he said he completely understood our situation (that we're in what is NOW a higher-crime area after Ike) and that we REALLY need our licenses (vs the panic people who got one after the election.) He's having ours expedited now, so hopefully we'll have them soon. I hate doing that because I know it'll put someone else further down the line but when my wife tells me she's afraid to go anywhere when I'm gone (and I'm gone for a week at a time for work) then it's REALLY not good. Crossing my fingers I'll have it soon!

I'm finally going to leave this waiting room. Just received a call from DPS today that my application has been completed and they will mail it first thing Monday morning. Now for the wait for the mailman.

Things finally got rolling when I contacted my state representative and state senator. This call happened about two weeks after doing so.

I got tired of looking but the wife loooked today and saw that ours is complete! I had looked on Friday so I know it just happened today. We're in Winsconsin this week so we won't get them until we get back at the end of the week anyway. Just glad it finally happened - now if only that AR15 I ordered would get here to join the others I ordered before the election! :lol:

We JUST got ours yesterday - and that's after I called my rep and griped at him.

We might have gotten ours on Thursday for all I know - we weren't here but someone came and checked our mail on Wednesday so I know it wasn't here by then.

Ok called DPS today (2-25) she told me that they where waiting on Harris County background check on me, but that galvestons background check was done and everything else was done too just waiting on harris county. Did anyone else get this reply. I found it odd because i have never live or worked in harris county. i dunno anyone got any ideas why they are looking in harris county??
