Re: "Waiting Room"

My "all in" date was 1/21/16. Still nothing. I emailed Senator Huffines' office on my 90 mark. I received this.

Thank you for contacting the office of State Senator Don Huffines regarding your LTC application status update. Our office is happy to help assist you. It is our understanding that DPS has received record amounts of LTC applications every month this year (approximately doubled), so this has created an enormous backlog.

I am happy to send over your information to my contact at DPS to see if we can get a status update on your application. I will be in touch with you as soon as I hear something. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if I can be of further assistance.

Regards,
--
Chris McNutt
Senator Don Huffines
District Office: 214-239-6131


Still no Website change or any mail or contact.

Nope. My confirmation of all items email was 1/21 and I see nothing. I called Austin over a month ago and they said that I'd have card in hand by the middle of April. I guess I need to go the email the Representative route... It does not make me feel good to whine.

Does anyone know who the Rep for Dallas (City & County) is?

Re: "Waiting Room"

My all in date was 1/21/16. Still nothing. No mail. No email. No calls from the DPS/RSD. Nothing at all.

Like our buddy from a few days ago, when I buy retail I am always delayed. It's embarrassing so I'm holding off on my new Glock until I get the plastic. Obviously I have no disqualifying offenses on my record. If I did, I wouldn't be here.

If the RSD gets a delay from NICS, what happens? Do they follow up with the FBI, wait on them for an approval, or after the three day period move forward (like FFLs do)?

01/21/16: Supporting documents email confirmation from DPS

I called back in March and they said it would be done by the middle of April. Here we are and nothing has come. Website has not changed. No plastic. Nothing in the mail. No news. Tumbleweeds. Is this just a Texas thing, or do all the sates take this long? My friend at work said his took a week in GA. He might have been full of _______ though.

Re: "Waiting Room"

I was "all in " on 1/21/16 (email all documents received). I still don't have anything, so today I called.

I had to redial about 6 times, which is super lucky if I am to believe the folks on here. Once I got through to hold music instead of the hang up and call back later message, I spent 20 minutes on hold. No biggie.

A super nice guy answered and looked me up by my Texas DL number. He said they are processing at about a two month delay at the moment and that I am right on the cusp of that. He said I may get it by the end of this month or mid April at the latest.

The advice about checking the website daily was also given to me by the RSD. He said most likely what will happen is the message about a pending application will disappear and it'll go back to looking like you never submitted anything. He said not to be alarmed because that means the system no longer thinks the application is pending because it has been processed.

So worst case is 4/15 and best case is next week. I'll take that!

PS, He also said the IT guys are updating the system to provide more information about the status and expected wait, but that those updates will not be in place for a few months. Those of us on here now will probably never benefit from the website enhancements, but the waitlisters of the future will.

Silence since then. Today is 2/22/16. I guess I am on day 32. Maybe I need to be more patient. Do you hear any updates at all, or just wait and wait and one day it turns up in your mailbox?

Unfortunately I wouldn't or couldn't answer your question but if you go by everyone here, it will just show up.
Update - it's 3/10 and still nothing. No info in the mail. No links on the website. No plastic. Do I just need to relax? What's my ballpark wait at this point? :banghead: :roll:
