When a person calls in and complains to a lawmaker or the executive branch they are complaining to them about them. DPS just keeps building a mansion with nothing but a hammer.

A perfect storm of anti 2A rhetoric on a national level coupled with terrorist events everybody slammed DPS with LTC apps before during and after the 2015 Holiday season. DPS is running in a budget set a couple years prior to that.

When I first joined this board apps where running 60-75 business days. Based on some that have posted their timelines its Down around 44-48 business days. Some quicker some longer. Some ahead some behind others- again when you look at what must be checked it's obvious all in all out on the same day is not going to happen.

I actually wish Texas was constitutional carry with the same right to carry anywhere a Texas Peace officer can. I also want world peace, probably not going to get either wish.

DPS is getting them out quicker, be patient, it will come b
What do they have to check? You submit your fingerprints and I assume the FBI or whatever (CIA??) reviews them and you are either OK or not. You can purchase a gun with a single "instant" background check in 10 minutes. They have a copy of your CHL certificate. You have paid your fees. What are they checking that takes so long? Is there not a database that they can instantly check to see if you have a class A misdemeanor or whatever would keep you from getting a LTC? When a LEO stops you for a traffic violation how long does it take him to make sure you are not a felon on the run? We all give DPS a pass because there are soooo many applications but what exactly takes so long in the average case? And why should a renewal take 60 days?
