If you mailed in a paper application, you should be checking the DPS website for status. As soon as it updates to "application materials received" you can schedule your fingerprint appointment. This usually takes about 3 weeks. If you wait until you receive that letter from DPS, you will only have 90 days to complete the fingerprint process before DPS terminates your application.
The recommended process is to complete the application online, then immediately schedule the fingerprint appointment. I don't knnow about the rest of the state, but I can tell you most MorphoTrust locations in the DFW area are completely booked for 2 to 3 weeks out. If you wait too long, you could be in danger of running out of that 90 day window.
How can you schedule the appointment without the letter from DPS? I cannot even find the phone number to L1 on the internet or phone book. Even if I did just show up at L1 without the letter to give them how would they know where to send my finger prints?
If you sent the paper applicaiton you can't schedule them until you get the DPS letter. What Crossfire was saying is the
recommended process is to do the online applicaiton, then it takes you immeadiately to the website for L1 and you can schedule an appointment. This is one of the downsides to doing the paper app.
