July 2011 Applications

[hendrcs]

Another July classmate here.
My wife and I took the class July 9 and we got the final paperwork mailed on Thur. July 14. We also had applied and paid online before the class.
Got the return receipt from DPS showing they rec'd it on July 18.
Followed the status on the website and even as of today - July 29 it still shows "in manufacturing" , but our plastic was IN THE MAILBOX when I got home!

Overall, 11 days isn't too bad!

I suspect the website can get behind on status updates.

No complaints here!

PLASTIC!!! Woohoo!!

It was sitting in my mailbox right next to my new Crossbreed. What are the odds they both come in on the same day. :)

Nice!

Congrats...it's a nice feeling ain't it & so lucky to get a great holster the same day.

11 days is incredible! ! Wow, that's got to be a record!

Congrads y'all! These turnaround times are insane! Looks like I got a fast processor, as well. No plastic yet, though, so I shouldn't pull the cart in front of the horse...

[hendrcs]

Just for grins, I checked my status on the website this morning.
Still shows "manufacturing" even though the plastic is in my wallet!

Don't get hung up on the website status as you might get a surprise before it's updated.

I also think doing the application and payment online speeds the process as you're not waiting on a clerk to input the data from a mailed application.

Having a clean background check probably helps too.

Also of note, I ordered by Crossbreed IWB holster on 6/29, figuring that I would get it a couple weeks before my CHL, but they both arrived in the mail the same day. Started breaking it in this weekend!

Well checked mine today and it says manufacture pending, paperwork was turned in 07-22.

Any idea on an inexspensive IWB holster until my comes in, think they said it was about a 5 week wait, so I am thinking I will have my plastic before I have my holster.

Is anybody familiar with WHY the fingerprints would not be received when I am sure I included them when I mailed the packet? Has anybody had this happen to them?

As of March 11, you have to submit your prints electronically through L-1. See http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administra ... ntInfo.htm

Surprised your instructor didn't say anything about this...

[strider67]

Please correct me if I am wrong, friends, but under the new L-1 system, I believe they are submitted electronically. I don't think they were part of 'the package' that was mailed. I would contact the folks that did your prints and ask if they have had any problems submitting prints. At least that's where I would start...not quite 100% on this, though...maybe 80...

[Carl in Katy]

Yes. I did the L-1 Fingerprints. I mailed in the document I received from the office where I had the fingerprints taken. Was I even required to send that documentation in or would the fingerprints be provided to DPS electronically? Does anyone know?
