The squeaky wheel does indeed get the grease. After sitting at the background check portion of the application for 3 weeks without movement, I sent an email to TXDPS. Lo and behold, 24 hours later I get a reply saying the following:
It is a sixty day process; however your license has been approved and you should receive it in 14-21 days.
So out of the blue my check is complete and manufacturing is pending as of this AM. Guess the package got stuck somewhere and I had to bring it to their attention. :roll:

So, hopefully they get my license to me ASAP. Tired of waiting.

Aye, thanks. I figured something happened as I felt like I was doing 30mph on the CHL superhighway and getting passed on both sides by folks doing 120. :lol:

Thanks to everyone for letting me vent.

Congrats to all of us in the April class! It looks like things are finally moving for everyone. We had the unfortunate timing of submitting our apps right when the FBI was busy with census workers, but we're almost all through it now! Now that the background check is approved, it should be smooth sailing for you last few.

Thanks in large part to the information provided on this board, there will be lots more well educated, well armed upstanding citizens on the streets of Texas soon.

I'm sure mine will change soon, too. :grumble

At least it hasn't been 120 days like a year ago.

Texasonline said a couple days ago that my background check was complete and my license was pending manufacturing. Here's to hanging out and checking the website 5 times a day to see if it's been mailed.
