What?

Status change?

I'm confused...

Wake me up, please. I must still be sleeping. that can be the ONLY explanation.

Sweet Jesus.............. Just logged on: STATUS CHANGE

Looks like I'll be getting up from the table soon. I live outside Austin, so I'm hoping today (optimistic), or in the next couple days to have plastic in hand. The long slog is just about over for me. Stay strong brothers and sisters... Your day is coming.

Not sure why the email took so long to get. I called after 7 days because I expected the email in 2 days like I had heard. They confirmed they had everything. I hope its no Indication of the wait. So now I wait!!

4/2 Well still nothing. One call a few weeks ago I was told I was through background and just waiting for someone to match up my paper work which he confirmed they have had since 1/13.
I have the same confirmation date and the same story from RSD... Through background and just waiting for "data input and printing..."

I'm right on the same dates as you guys. I did get a call on 3/30 from an RSD sup that told me that mine was being finalized up and gonna be sent to print later that day.... However, here I sit. NO CHANGE, NO PLASTIC.

Hopefully we'll all get them this coming week. That be nice, but I'll believe it when I see it.

72 days here fingerprints conf 1/15/2016

We were both were in the same day. I just got approved today, so I expect that you'll be approved within the next day or two (if you haven't already). Good luck and stay true..... It finally our turn.

Mavs00

Just received a call from a DPS supervisor. Great news. My application was processed and approved this AM and will be sent to print by the end of the day. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery. I've noticed, judging from recent posts on here, that it generally has taking less then less then a week from this point. My {mental} target day is now 4/6/16, which would be 82 days from "all in to plastic".

Looks like the end of the tunnel is finally in sight for me. As an aside, it looks like if you've called for a status update (either through state rep, DPS Director or Governor), it may not hurry your app along, but it looks like they will call you when you get approved if you request it. That worked for me and a few other in the last few days or so.

Mavs00

Congrats to both of you. Since you are both right in my same time frame, I'm hoping (praying really), that I'm next up. It dovetails with what I was told by DPS on Wednesday. I was told that they're working on our week right now. I was all in on January 15 .

I am happy for you .

Mavs00

Hi all. Just a quick update. I finally got a call back from the DPS Director's inquiry I made yesterday. Got a call at 8 PM from a RSD Supervisor. She was very nice. She was apologetic and re-looked over my stuff. Her eyeball told her everything looked good and she then indicated that they had just begun processing the bulk of applications from the w/o Jan 11-15. I should be somewhere in this batch. She gave me her personal desk number and told me to call back inside of a week and that I should have been processed/approved by then. She says it's taking about 7 days from approval to doorstep at this point. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks.

I was all in on January 15th. (68 days). My target "plastic in hand" date is 82 days, or 4/4/16 (if all goes well). We shall see. She was BY FAR the most responsive person I've dealt with in this whole process.

Mavs00

Well, my State Rep wasn't very responsive. Got one initial email response saying I'd hear back at the end of last week. Came and went... No response. Guess he's not nearly as 2a friendly as his website advertises.

Because I like to torture myself, I'd thought I'd call RSD again (hadn't talked to them since the 10th.). Spoke to a nice lady who seemed very apologetic and somewhat embarrassed in fact. She indicated that everything on my case was back (including my BG check), and indicated that everything was ay-OK. It was in the queue with a million other apps, just waiting to be processed. No timetable given. She gave me the whole "we've just got some new ppl on board to help with all the Dec/Jan apps" song and dance as well. I was all in on 1/15.

Soooooo... Back to waiting.

Ditto. We shall see what happens. Below is my note.

Dear Rep. {redacted},

Good afternoon, my name is {redacted - Mavs00} and I am a resident of Texas State District {redacted} and I am writing to you today to inquire into an open “License to Carry” permit application that I have outstanding. I submitted my application on 12/4/15 using the Veteran reduced-fee option as I am a veteran of the United States Army. I submitted my fingerprints electronically (12/7/15), CHL-100 and DD-214 (1/15/16) as required. I have confirmed with DPS that all of my required documentation was received by them on that date; January 15, 2016.

It is my understanding that under GC §411.176, the TX DPS Regulatory Services Division then has 60 days to perform the requisite background checks and 1) issue the LTC permit, or 2) contact the applicant to inform them of denial or request additional documentation. I submitted all of my material 62 days ago (as of 3/17/16) and neither of these has occurred for me. I have attempted to contact the DPS multiple times over the last few days to find out my status to no avail. I last spoke with a representative on 3/10/16, who confirmed receipt of my materials on 1/15/16 and indicated that the office “was busy” and to call back in 30 days. I do not find that to be an acceptable answer, given the guidelines set forth by GC 411.176.

I am writing to request that you intervene on my behalf to inquire with TX DPS RSD to determine the status of my application, or if to see if additional documentation is needed. As stated, I am a veteran of military service, have a clean criminal and psychological background and am a law-abiding citizen in good standing of your district. I have no idea what could be holding up the process at this point and I am certain that my eligibility will not be in question. I will add that I have submitted my application in order to take advantage of my constitutional right to self-defense (for myself and my family). Thank you sir, in advance for any assistance or clarification you can provide. I also thank you for your service to the citizens of District {redacted}.

Respectfully,
Mavs00

However, it is a good thing to have a forum in which to discuss without having to worry about it.

zencurry

I'm a couple days behind you (1/15), so I'm hoping for the next week or two myself. They certainly seemed to clear out some of the backlog over the last day or two. Once Sweat get's his, the rest of ours should start cascading down like rain. I think he's got the whole system clogged up.

Yeah... about that. I called today like she suggested and got a gruff, grumpy dude. He told me "your stuff is in, hasn't even been started yet.... call back in 30 days..... {click}".

Who the heck even knows anymore. I think they just tell you something to get you off the phone. 30 days from now would be 75 days in. Great.
