I had an unusual wait time. Everything received by DPS 02/15/16, last week of May I got a letter wanting court records of something stupid I did in 1987, mailed that 05/31/16 certified mail. Waited, and waited, and waited! Called DPS 01/17/17 for them to tell me that they never received my court papers, I'm thinking the mail man delivered it to the wrong building or something, I don't know, but lesson learned, I will never mail anything to DPS again. Electronically sent them the second time. Status changed from Background under review to print pending on the 20th, to mailed today. So happy this is all over with. I was starting to wonder if they had to go looking at my dental records or something there for a few months. Very nice lady at DPS, she said technically they should have cancelled the application after 90 days from not receiving the court records and then updated the module to make sure they wouldn't cancel it after I called in.Search found 4 matches

Re: "Waiting Room"
Thanks for the clarification on "working days", so I will assume my 180 day wait is 180 working days then. I will try to be patientK5CLC wrote:Called DPS to ask about my status, the lady said it's under review and if it's under review it could take longer than the 60 days allowed, up to the 180 days. And I did ask, the 60 days are 'working days' so at this point I may or may not see a license by February 27th, 2017. I'm going to give up hope for a while and just be happy i can still carry in my vehicle.

Re: "Waiting Room"
Sorry to hear that, but glad to hear that I'm not the only one that's having an extremely slow experience. Stuck since June.Jtnhou wrote:Since July 2016 my status has not updated at all. Extremely frustrating, this is all I see. Any ideas?
I have sent messages through the system and get automated responses that the state has 180 days to process my application.
LICENSE APPLICATION STATUS: If you have a pending License to Carry a Handgun application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required. Once the application and documents have been received by Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page.

Re: "Waiting Room"
My LTC has been stuck on "Background under review" since June 2016. 02/12/16 application received, 06/01/16 DPS receives additional requested supporting documents for a stupid thing I did years ago, which gave them another 180 days. Since June, I'm somewhere around 220 calendar days, and 150 working days! My main question before I go crazy and start calling my state rep, etc, does the 180 days mean "calendar days", or does it mean "working days"? Should I wait another 30 working days to find out?
