My wife received her license yesterday on her birthday. So I did not have to get her anything - just kidding - that would not have gone over well. Thought that was pretty cool though came in the mail on Texas Independence Day which also happened to be her Birthday.

My wife's is issued. They sent back one of her pics because it was not signed, I must have put the signed one in the passport holder. Rather than switching them out they sent the one that was paper clipped to the application back. But who knows they probably send them to different departments for processing. I don't work there so I don't know how they process these thing. It took 11 weeks from the time they received it though and had to send back the photo and put it back in line. We were hoping it was going to be after Tuesday which is her birthday and she would get a license for almost 5 years at first. Just thought I would let everyone know the time frame. We mailed it Dec. 9th received the photo back about the first of Febuary and took 3 weeks after they received the photo and it went back to processing status.

Application incomplete - missing information - detailed letter has been sent.

I haved done this 3 times myself and don't know what it could be. I looked it over very closely. It was an online application the only other things were the fingerprint cards the passport holder, affidavits and the course sheet that was sent in. I bet it will be something like forgetting to sign the application or something stupid like that. I did not check over the course completion sheet from the instructor.

Oh well we are only about 45 days in so far.

Found out she did not sign the back of one of her pictures.

Could be the pictures? I got the same thing last month and it was because the pictures were too dark.

Then it is probably the fingerprints. I thought it was just something left off or missing. I stated early in this December post that I was worried about them. The right ring finger did not look good at all. I was upset when I saw them and told her that they were absolutely not going to work. My wife took me saying that personal as she had taken a day off work to have them done and did not know good prints from bad. I figured since it was electronic and at the police station someone would do it correctly. I just dropped it and sent them in. She did not know what to look for and I could not believe he would print them that way. To many people people in this world just don't take pride in anything they do. I am not an officer and or a fingerprinter, have no prior experience in fingerprinting and have only had my prints taken 4 times CHL's, and FFL and knew they were not worth the ink they used. Why did he not know it? He has been with the department for 10+ yrs, surely he has seen more than the 4 sets I have seen in my life. The bad thing he was able to review them before printing and after as it was electronic. The last ones I did, the computer told the operator a percentage or a number as to how well defined the print was and to retake it or not, but the guy at the time kept on until he got them right and mine went right through. My wifes looked like they were almost solid black with just a little definition of the print on them. Almost like he colored the print in with a black marker after printing. They were not smudged just pressed too hard or fingers to wet.

Checked my wifes today and this is what it said.

Just thought I would update about my wifes for those tracking theirs. I sent my wifes out 12-9 it was received 12-11 she did the online application so there was not a check to cash or PIN to be issued. It never changed status from packet mailed to applicant until last week 1-14 it changed to processing application. So that was a little over 30 days before they started processing after receipt of her package. My next renewel is in March 2011 maybe I should start on it now.

Got my wifes sent out today 12-9. She also did the online app. I am worried about one of her prints, right ring finger. She did do the electonic though so maybe it will fly. The machine passed it she said. We will find out.
