Mail may be a little slow due to the Christmas rush but I'm hopeful you will get it before Christmas. Good luck and congratulations.ES4Me wrote:Thanks guys....but I remain cynical. When it shows up in the mailbox, I will believe it. Until then, I am not holding my breath. It could show up tomorrow or Monday, it could not.
When I was talking to my friend earlier, she said she in October and November she was making calls for people who had applied in April and May. I seriously think there is someone or someones at the DPS who are doing an incredibly slipshod job of processing apps. Like I said the other day, there are those in that office who are diligently processing apps and there are those who are too occupied updating their Facebook pages and don't let work interfere with their social lives. Might be a few anti-gunners in there goofing off to deliberately muck up the works as well.

Re: September 2009 Applications
Well...as of 0930 this morning, online status shows "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active". If it shows up in the mail before Friday, I just may start believing in Santa Claus again.
jsimmons, ExMarlboroMan and anyone else still waiting.....what is your status this morning?

ES4Me congratulations! You've had to exercise a lot of patience but it's paid off. Hope the plastic arrives soon and hope all the remaining Septemberites get good news soon as well.

I love it and yes it is becoming second nature. I did buy an LCP for a pocket pistol, which I may use more in the summer but for now my 9 and I have become very close. Dona is using the 380 till we get the handle back for her 9mm Sig P250 sub compact.
I’d be obliged to take you up on a little friendly competition. I will have to be careful though, you may be a ringer… You know, observe one year and kick butt the next.
Good to here from you and Have a Merry Christmas

Re: September 2009 Applications
Well...Santa didn't bring me my plastic. It's getting cold outside and since mail won't run tomorrow, I have come in from camping by the mailbox until after Christmas.
With that said - MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!! Hope everyone gets a special surprise and has a wonderful time with their loved ones.
Hope I did the youtube link below correctly - if I managed to, enjoy!

Re: September 2009 Applications
Ok - my stalking of the mailman officially ended yesterday. Plastic safely ensconced in my purse and working hard to forgive the snarky "well, now you can go around like Billy the Kid" comment from my DH. He just doesn't get it.
So, now we wait for the good news from ExMarlboroMan and all the other September "patience of Job" sorts!

Thanks. I cannot tell you how angering it was to look and see November and December applicants getting their plastic in record time while some of us had to sit and stew.
I still swear there is one person at DPS processing who spends more time updating their Facebook page than processing apps - that would be the person who was charged with mine, ExMarlboroMan's, etc.
Venturing out into the world today for some post Christmas shopping - gift cards burning a hole in my pocket. Hhhmmm...one of them is for WalMart too.
