Interesting.. Prints under review and BG under review.. Mine says prints good and BG under review.. maybe there is a step in between we don't know about?

Friday afternoon all the statuses were green except fingerprints, background check, and the manufacturing of the card. I'm not sure why the prints or check would still be under review. Nothing on my record that would prevent me from getting it.

Hopefully we'll be the 2 that get on board tomorrow. The next level of the wait has to be better than the 1st. Gotta make it over that hump, then it's all downhill!

If it is true what the lady said at DPS.. you might get a surprise when you see an update showing your background check is good.. remember when I called the same day as you they guy told me they had record of my account but nothing else showed up.. Tomorrow is the day, I feel it!

My boss just walked into my office and sat down and started talking quietly to me. Asking how my day was and stuff. Thought he was about to fire me lol. We talked for a second then he leaned in and said "Do you have your CHL yet?" I replied "No sir, people in Austin are in no hurry for us Houston guys." He chuckled. He then asked if I was going to carry while here at the office. I replied "With your permission." He said he'd feel better if I did since the girls that work up front deal with some weird people all day.I work in the oil/gas/mining industry and our office isn't in the best part of town. I told him legally I could carry anyways since there are no signs but still wanted his permission. :txflag:
