application and payment online 8/1
fingerprints 8/3
class and proficiency 8/5
all docs submitted 8/5
all in email 8/8
status updated to all green except for background and printing 8/11

So my status is still pending background review for 19 days. I realize this is a very short time but like mentioned above, some applications appear in some cases to be processed in a week with more recent ones within 10 business days. On the otherhand some are taking a month or so. I guess I just don't understand the reasons why some seem pushed through and others wait longer; hence my speculation about Houston and the workload. Then again, most of this should be automated once the background comes in. Thus, my confusion.

Thanks for listening - Joe
today, 9/27 BG is green with print pending. i assume all is approved since BG is complete or may there still be issues? i have received no requests from DPS but I'm sitting on 57 days from the time of application. in other words since BG is now complete and print pending is yellow is all ok?

as of this morning, 9/29 - mailed.

Re: confusion on waiting time

Thanks for your reply. Logically i agree the size of Harris County should make no difference but it's the only conclusion I can come to. as to CC or OC, I have been around firearms all my life. I always keep a handgun in my car, available at home and place of business. I'm not even sure I will carry at all but given the political nature of the subject thought it best to go ahead and get it now rather than waiting for the possibility of some "executive order" to come down which would most definitely be successfully challenged but put a temporary delay on obtaining one (not that i'm into conspiracy theories but a realist).

If do decide to carry most certainly CC as my personal opinion is that OC is like playing poker with 5 cards showing though I fully support the freedom for anyone that wants to exercise that right.
