My application was recieved by DPS on Jan 10! Same day they recieved my husband's. His plastic arrived this last Thursday, my background check is STILL "under review".
AND I SWEAR THERE IS NOTHING there for them to be "reviewing"!!
Do these applications just get sorted and go sit on different folks desk? A steriotypical goverment worker must have mine! haha...sorry to any gov workers, not intended to offend just jest a little.

Re: February 2011 Applications
Woohoo! Background check completed today.
2/6 - Class
2/13 - Online application
2/16 - Fingerprinting
2/17 - Mailed in paperwork
2/22 - "Paperwork received" status
3/6 - "Background check completed" (and it's green). "Manufacturing pending."
I thought this was going to take longer because I lived out of state for the past 3.5 out of 5 years, but nope. It looks like it's as fast as everyone else here.

Re: February 2011 Applications
well, then you are in good company with everyone else waiting today, or who has waited before.nicholass817 wrote:The wait is killin me!!
2 weeks is about the start after receipt by DPS before things show up online, so in another day or two it should show up, then if you have no (known to you) background issues or arrests, then in 2-3 more weeks you should have your plastic.
Of course DPS says it could take up to 60 days, so while you can vent here until 60, if you call or email them, you will probably get the standard "60 days" answer.
While you are waiting so patiently, be sure to read up on the forum and learn and learn and learn, and when you get your plastic, you know what you to do then right?... Wally walk and then learn and learn and learn more.

At least I know I'm not the only one that is clogging up their server. I actually broke down and memorized my TXDL number so I wouldn't have to keep looking it up. My info signed for by DPS on the 25th of Feb.
