Congratulations llucas!! Enjoy your first walk of many....

That's great news for sure!! Be sure to let us know when it arrives

I think they usually give themselves a good cushion of time when notifying someone of the completion/approval of their application. Once you see the changes on the website you should have the plastic in a week or less and I'm guessing you'll see the change on the website by Monday.....keep your chin up, you're almost there!!

At least you know they're working on it now anyway......what a long wait though

Congratulations!!

Thanks jmra !

Mr Mtnthundr2's plastic arrived in the mail today!!

His status screen was showing "under review" before they changed the status screen to the blank status (only able to apply for an instructors license), then it changed again and it showed a place where he could change his demographic info or report a lost or stolen card and now he has his plastic!

5-28-14 uploaded all documents
6-4-14 status update,"under review"
6-29-14 status update disappeared
7-1-14 status box allows changes to demographics/ability to report lost or stolen card
7-5-14 license arrives in mail!

Woohoo

Received license today! July 3rd!

Thanks to all that made the wait less frustrating!

Congratulations Reddog1 ! I agree with you that having this forum thread did make the wait a little less frustrating

Have you decided where your first carry will be? My husband is still waiting on his license, I'm going to wait for him to get his so we can take that first walk together (mine came a week ago).

Same thing when I log in to check my husbands status.....

My status has now changed to mailed. Looks like I may have license in hand this time next week. It's nice getting a second update so soon. Yesterday, the first and today the second. It's like pulling teeth to get an update! Literally! I was waiting 56 days and I had to go to the dentist to get my wisdom teeth out (been putting it of go over 20 years) and I was sitting in the waiting room and decided to check my status even though I checked it about an hour before. And that's when I got the update.

Well THAT good news must have softened the dread of tooth pulling! Congratulations!!

I got my last status update on June 21 that said "mailed" so I expected to see it Monday or Tuesday but it didn't come til Thursday .....I checked the postmark and it didn't actually mail until 6-24-14.......it sure was a long wait from 'mailed' to 'received', lol Just know that the status update that says 'mailed' might not actually be the date it was mailed, I was getting worried that mine might have gotten lost in the mail.

Congratulations Reddog1 and kebn51, I'll never forget that feeling of elation when I logged in to check the status and saw "manufacture pending", I couldn't stop smiling, I know you must be so thrilled after such a long wait!
(I almost feel guilty being so excited that I got mine because my husbands is still "under review".....hahaha ......NOT )

Thank you JMRA

Plastic in hand, 29 days from upload to mailbox
Still waiting on my husbands though, everything was filed at the same time but his status still shows "under review"

I'm glad you were able to talk with someone at DPS, last I knew you hadn't been able to get ahold of anyone .....maybe the fact that you spoke with someone will speed things along now

kebn51 wrote:This is depressing seeing all of these people who submitted their documents weeks, even a month after I submitted mine, getting updates and even getting their plastic, while my wife and I have emailed and called, and nothing!!!

kebn51, have you considered uploading all supporting documents via their website? https://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/contact/chl.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Before you hit "submit form" be sure you hit "attach" (between 'choose file' and 'submit form' ...I missed this step my first time trying to sub the docs and had to go back the next day, once I realized what I missed).
I think if I were in your shoes I would re-sub all the documents via the link/their website above. Good luck whatever you choose to do!
