Here's how it works. They brought in more help. The new help has started processing Feb applications, therefore speeding up backlog.PhilBob wrote:I don't think it is a pure linear process and a case of people jumping forward in the line. One may have a "clean" record, but if one has a common name, or a name the same as or similar to someone whose record isn't so clean then the process may take longer. Same perhaps with people whose criminal record is clean but have frequently moved or changed jobs. Just as one example, a friend I used to work with has a name that appears on the no fly list, but it isn't him. You would not believe what he has to go through every time he flies.Gnamaree02 wrote:And what of those who applied in February and March, & now have plastic in hand.

I think it is a good thing to bring to light with those who can do something about the problems we have with having to wait so long. I see a problem with this though. You just did two things. 1) If it does work you just cut the line in front of others 2) This will further bog the system down and cause more delays. I personally am for Constitutional Carry. As a veteran I believe all of our rights come from God, not a lawyer. With that said, the system we have now kind of sucks, but it is what we have. Be patient or work to improve it.
Perhaps when you're beating your head against a brick wall, with same ol website Everyday, then you'll be a lil up in arms.
I got my plastic, Mon, 3/28. Website changed Sat, 3/27.
Plastic in 1 day short of 12 weeks.
Wife's website changed 3/31. She got her plastic on Sat, 4/2. 88 days, 4.days plus 12 weeks. We both were all in w/confirmation email on (only one) on 1/5.
Ours came just like most of them, 12 weeks give or take a few. With NO extra contact. If you go to website to check your status and it does not kick out and error, YOU ARE IN THE SYSTEM.
I know it's fun in this chat room, but HOLD YOUR HORSES.
YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE TO DO YOUR TIME FOR WAITING TILL THIS YEAR TO GET'ER DONE, 12 WEEKS IS WHAT THEY QUOTING NOW. CONGRESSMEN OR THE GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS HAVE MORE INPORTANT THINGS TO DO THAN FIELD PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS BECAUSE YOU ARE IMPATIENT!
REMEMBER 12 WEEKS, GIVE OR TAKE A DAY OR TWO.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND BE SAFE!
Over and Out
It seems like us early January folks are taking 80-90 days. There have been some that have submitted in February and got theirs in less than 6 weeks.
