Card arrived today! New licensed carrier on the block.

Wow. The DPS status website says that all requirements (including background check) are good. Now it says "Print Pending." Shouldn't be long now!

Finally got everything in. Now we wait.

Of course, at this point one has to wonder if this whole process will be for nothing, given what's on the table for the legislative session. It's likely that our fees will have been lower if we waited, and remotely possible that she will not need to be licensed at all.

I talked to the guy hosting (not teaching, just hosting) the Lamesa class today and he said it's looking likely for November. If anyone is interested in that, hit me up so we can add more people.

I'll be working that day and won't be able to drive her. Thanks for the offer though!

Interesting thing is, she was born in Canada. While she is technically a naturalized US citizen (born to a US citizen), her parents never took her to the embassy or anything, so she's been living here with a green card since she was like 3. We'll see if that affects the process at all.
