23 days in BG check. Getting impatient!

I hear you paustin! I keep telling myself that I'm going to wait a week before I check again. I don't think I can do it. When I see other people getting plastic that submitted their packet after me, it gets frustrating. I really didn't think I'd be so anxious, but obviously I'm not the only one.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've checked my status! It's crazy how fast some get pushed through and how slow others take.

Hello, everyone. Newbee here, although I've been visiting the site for a couple months now. Ive completed all my steps and hand delivered my packet to the Austin post office where the Dps P.O. box is. This was done on Jan 31. So Im assuming that dps received it on the 1st of Feb. No later than the 4th of Feb.
I still havent gotten an update yet. My application may take longer because they will have to review my certified dispositions on some old criminal cases. I had a phase fresh out of high school where I pretty much acted like a real idiot. All that was over 18-20 years ago. Ive read the chl statutes a million times. I believe that im all clear now of anything that may disqualify me. Now after over 3 weeks im getting super antcy looking for a status change. I hope the background check doesnt take long. They have every court document right in their hands. Ive never had contact with any other law enforcement agency other than right here in travis county. My Nics check always takes forever. I will keep everyone up to date!
